    Is it really only 800 vrt?

    I know of a 1.6 Lancia that was 720, and don't they up it depending on spec too?

    2002 540i msport with average spec is mid 800's

    @ SG either a fast daily or a relatively sensible (2.5) daily plus a track car.

    7 series doesn't really appeal though and id prefer a V8 rumble over a V12 hum.

    I probly wouldn't owe anything on said car but grown up pants are itching :p

    What you want is a straight piped w220 s600

    Sounds like an f1 car

    There was one sold down here a few weeks back, always see it in work now, 3.6 I think putting out 350hp. Lovely noise off it.

    Remapped 2.5 diesel, turbocharged with mad boost, stripped, with cold air intake... pretty realistic, but would've been nice to see a dyno sheet.

    Not that it was big enough to deserve its own thread, but thought I'd leave this nice image for you folk who like to mind your alloys. I was parked up and it pulled alongside me and I couldn't believe the state of the kerbing. How can you go so high? A nightmare image for the detailers in the group!

    Well on the red diesel of course it's realistic!

    I think it's wonderfully hilariously terrible

    I think they have red diesel not green up in Northern Ireland.

    Being in Monaghan I wonder if they can get away with driving around with red diesel :D

    I don't know what it is, but them alloys are chronic bad for getting curbed bad. Fella I know has them on his passat, and they are almost as bad (not done by him). The white worm has a bit to play in it too. That "face" stays parallel with the tyre, ie, it doesn't dip in, so the whole face will get the marks, as opposed to just the edges on most rims which taper in.

    Nice early one for you, got one video from Autoheroes last night if you want a look :)
    Sorry about the exposure, we had to darken it just to see the track!

    Yeah we need to find a point closer to the front for it next time so it can adjust to the outside.
    Anyone who knows the track however, can see enough to know exactly where they are.

    It is awesome fun in fairness, the weight is all but perfectly distributed from the factory.
    I also had amazing tyres on the front so the back ones were letting go first.
    Felt very good all day, never felt out of control!

    Anyone in the know might recognise the Alfa at the beginning too :)

    It seems to look much better when you follow the link to youtube and go fullscreen too for some reason?
