Continental Power

[minipower]

Felt the full power of a Bentley continental today. Came out of nowhere, straight up my dad's cars arse.
Couldnt here it much, but boy it seemed powerful. Bloke was a bit of a tosser though as he tried to undertake us on a dual carriageway with very little gaps between the cars on the inside (hence we did not pull in).
In reply to the post that people hate them, I can't see what they see, as you get a huge amount of power for good money, so they get my vote from this rude but exciting encounter.

Looked second only to the SRT10 ram in aggresion levels and that is saying something. I imagine in black, it would look like the grim reaper trying to run you over.

No it was more of a pale light metalic sky blue (close as I can get).
Funny thing was mr vette we were in a vette to. After this encounter we are now even more ready to purchase a C6 ZO6 as more power is needed. Bentley is 2 tonnes and packs 552BHP? but corvette ways less than a f430 and packs 511BHP and is naturally aspirated. No chance of undertaking now.

Quiet residential street, middle of the night, then all hell breaks loose.
Jokes aside, it would be good to see a comparison.
What do you think sounds better, your vette or you bentley? Must ask as could not hear it at all over the billy boats.

Pity, as I always love to hear a Bentley. Do the turbos muffle the sound slightly, as I've heard that in the C5 the burbling V8 soundtrack can be changed quite dramatically by the fitting of them.

Ye it will be good to hear it.
Did one go to the festival of speed as I can't remeber even though I've been the last 4 years?
