Looked more like 76 to 233KMH to me ;-)
Could just be my driving style but I'm finding the V12VS a lot quicker in "normal" use.
You should know given your V12V experiences before the V12VS. Be interested to hear more about how you find the new one versus the old one as you use it more and more. My twenty minute test drive was enough to let me know that the difference in power can be felt. Definitely more scary than the V12V in full banzai mode Could just be my driving style but I'm finding the V12VS a lot quicker in "normal" use.
Was hoping to get a lot more driving in today, but the weather is putting me right off this afternoon!
From yesterday the big thing that became obvious was how much better traction is now, had already guessed this during test drive but after a bit more time with the car... On damp roads and far from gentle driving I didn't see the traction control kick in once, that sort of driving in those conditions and the V12V would have been flashing it's warning light at me like a proverbial attention w
e ;-)
It's also a lot more comfortable than the V12V, the softest damper setting working much better on bumpy roads.
Negatives so far, the gear box can be a bit "odd" when reversing over lumps (read weather strip under garage door), and 1st->2nd seems slow when not giving it some.

@V12woollie, I did mess around with tires a bit, started out with corsa'a, then zoto's for winter then MPS's as a good compromise on the the V12V, I found that it struggled for traction on all in all conditions. Mostly put this down to the suspension not being compliant enough for bumpy UK roads, which the adaptive fixes on the V12VS.
