thanks for the kind words.  :happy2:  All i want to do is take people for a drive, to see if it does the same to them as it does to me. It has a stage 3 lotus exhaust, couple that with the supercharger screaming right behind your head at 8000 rpm it is like nothing i have driven. It has no power steering, and because of the downforce created, you have to man handle it round the bends.  :driver:
cant wait to get her on track.  :scared:

Honestly, I will die of envy  :grin:. Please excuse my multiple posts but I really can't help myself. I just have to say again: awesome, awesome car. Enjoy it!
BTW, about tracking... fancy a Nring & Spa trip at the beginning of August? I'll be there, if you are coming please tell me so I can see your car live.

 :grin: Quite a few guys put smaller pulleys on these cars and the gear box goes bang at anything over 300BHP.  :rolleye:

I must admit the knob is right up by the wheel and the sound of the changes if you blip the throttle puts the DSG to shame, and that takes some doing as the DSG burp is immense.  :pomppomp:

I know what you mean.  In sport mode I get crackles on the over run.  My soon to be carried mod, will only aid that.

Rex i plan on doing lots of track days, but cant plan any yet as the stage 3 zorst is to loud for track limits so i am in the process of ordering a different one, but the guy who makes them is somewhat busy and it could be a while.
Saying that my insurance came with 6 track days anywhere in the world, apart from the green hell.  :jumpmove: so i might end up coming over.  :pomppomp:

A very lovely car mate. I've been weighing up an Elise Club Racer, though it wouldn't be until April/May next year. Just don't know if I'm brave enough!

That's looks 100x better than the one at the ring! One question, when do I get my passenger thrill ride?
