Picked her up from the docks this morning. Driven directly to the SVA test centre 215 miles total. Kept between 70- 80 all the way back, with quick play in 2nd and 3rd gears.........check this out average for the trip 25 US mpg !!!
All motorway driving, but this is one quick car ! Very solid feel on the road, quite alot of road noise from the tyres at 80 +, no problem slightly slower. No tunnel heat problems, just slightly warm.
Seats great with exellent vision all round.
When the exhaust valves open at 3500 rpm race car sound and the car behind has a treat !
All the reports on this car are correct.......its a true super car only better !
Should have it back from SVA before Christmas, fingers crossed.
Busy day........

How can I put this.........well its absolutley fantastic! I`m lucky enough to have owned / driven most `top cars`, but this things mental...in a good way. Power every where in any gear! Traction in third gear on from 70mph roll is just possible. Traction is real good, just so much power! Don`t care what you`ve got or been in, these things will blow your mind! Think fave view is 3/4 rear. Those 325 meats do it for me. They actually put down 13.5" on the floor!
As you can see I`m quite pleased with it !
However, Victory Red`s got to GO! My first choice of Velocity Yellow is landing in about 4 weeks! Two of these is too much even for me. If you`ve got one coming or are thinking about having one- JUST DO IT. Its as mad as you want or quiet and docile. Well quiet until 3500 rpms arrive, flaps open then party time!
