Hi

I tested a V6S and a V8 and bought the V8..... The sound is really good (for a while) however handling is a bit mad even with the traction control on the rear sometimes steps out slightly.

I bought OV13 ASU (now gone) wonder where it is now.

Wow thats incredible haha. I was googling comparison between v8s and R, and stumbled across this thread.

Low and behold i see your post.

I bought you old car a few weeks ago !!!!

Love it, mint condition and specced to the hilt.

What part of the country are you? Drop me a pm be interested to hear some of its history smile

Definitely different wheels. The ones you had on it i also used to have on my previous car - a V6S Ftype Coupe. Unfortunately had an accident in it and was written off.

Delighted to be back in the saddle.

I have updated my settings so you should be able to private message me now!

I've driven both, and I bought the V8. The V6 is possibly a better sportscar, but I've had my V8 for 2 years now and it still makes me giggle whenever I drive it.
