Very nice! :) What 1/4 mile times did you get in the SVR for comparison?

I think an 11.3 two-up with some other stuff in the car is pretty good going!

After discovering the best settings, weight reduction the SVR ran 11.4-11.7 on first attempts, with the practice and getting best settings, was around 11.2, the filters and weight reduction got the 11.1

Confident LC and inertia shift will net me enough to see maybe a 10.9 run :)

Awesome. I assumed the SVR was quicker than the Fezza in a straight line.

No the Ferrari is, on the street the LC hooks up, so 0-60 is more or less identical around 3.0s flat, past 60mph the Ferrari is quite a bit faster rolling, a combination of even quicker gearbox and around 300kg less weight, less transmission loss etc.

SVR however much quicker if conditions damp or wet due to AWD off the line.
 
Yeah sorry - terrible pic. But the real pic was even worse :) :) as it was a cloudy, cold day in Texas. But that was great for a low DA (if you know how that helps)

Just look at the tire :)

It was with a new rear tire setup (17s and 315 50 17s Mickey Thompson Street Rs) and my first hit

Finally collected this yesterday after ordering in Dec and the first one getting written off whilst being loaded onto the boat.

1.8 C-HR Hybrid Dynamiq, in cyan splash bi-tone, or as the guys at the dealer call it Viagra Blue :)

Moved out to Australia a few weeks ago. Thought it would be a good time in my life to own a V8. Fuel is relatively cheap out here at 72p per litre and the car in excellent condition cost me £9k.

It's a 2011 Holden Commodore SS, manual with a 6 litre V8 and an aftermarket back-box. I'm impressed with the noise it makes across the operating range, when at full chat and even when you're bumbling around shifting at 2k rpm with the windows closed.

Win! I had a friend who moved out there. I was so disappointed when he ended up in an Hyundai, rather than an old blue & yellow Ford with Interceptor or Pursuit painted on the bootlid :(
 
That's actually really smart looking. Quite subtle looking, considering what's under the bonnet.
Although I'd personally lose the "SS" badges off the rear doors.

OK I was thinking 20-22mpg, its not bad, but in comparison, similar driving would net 35-36mpg in the SVR and around 35mpg in the Mustang.
The Ferrari literally turns fuel into noise. :D

Yes... But that's not a great deal different to my 2L Hatchback.

And I think I know what I'd prefer :p

Thats not too bad, it is a Ferrari after all. My C63 (6.2L) gets about 27mpg on a motorway run and about 18-20 for my commute to work. Totally agree.... All worth it for the noise though!!!
