2 quick answers because I hate typing on a mobile.
Mats,

Limp mode thing. Was it limp mode or a MIL warning? I only ask because it might be an emissions warning or other. If its gone, then it's gone I suppose.
Oil on the V8V is dry sump so G forces have virtually no effect. Upside down will if course.
Just saying.

Don't worry about the limp mode. I had that a few times in my V8V, especially over a little hump in the road near my house and once on track wink. Obviously the car went outside of some design parameter and the car was then switched into safe mode I guess.

She looks stunning thumbup

The Porker is fitted with PASM sports suspension, so by the sound of it you would probably benefit from looking at upgrading to sports set-up, maybe the A.M. Roadster Sport pack, or as some of the other guys have suggested ( before they leap on me again biggrin ) BR's adaptive set-up, depending on budget and requirement, test both.
Ultimately the V8 is a different car, even with sports suspension it doesn't give it's best being driven at 9/10th like the Porker, rather you need to tune into the flow and balance and enjoy a new but equally enjoyable driving experience. Enjoy.
