Ok, been out today in the wet to see if the car is much faster since the software updates and the lighter alloys and tyres. Finally got my hands back on the Performance box.

The run below was done in the wet, with just over half a tank of fuel and full interior. The surface starts off level and then goes into a decline half way on the run to the end, but no more than Bruntingthorpe has by comparison. Wheelspin at all 4 wheels to around 30 mph and I used launch control at just over 4krpms.

The car definitely feels better, revs out well to the redline and the pull is much harder.

No 1/4 mile this time though as there is a gate at the end! :scared:



Looks awesome mate, and great times especially in the wet.  I would have been interested in your 0-60 time at a 4500rpm launch  :laugh:

Probably would have been worse than just over 4krpms :driver:

3.4 seconds 60 - 90, that's popping along rather nice there John.

Enjoying this thread. Sure you're enjoying it too.

. Brakes aren't urgent as they are good enough for the road over winter, so it may well be early next year when everything goes on. :happy2:

Tarox.....

Not this time! :wink:

I've seen a set of the Stasis 370mm disc and caliper kit up close. Looked impressive.
