That looks 1000 times better.
well saying that is a bit crazy, taste is a very subjective thing
I'd say I probably prefer it with black wheels.. I'd go in the middle and get gunmetal gray.Not a motor as such but the dyno results from the initial mapping on my boring grey Audi estate. The map still needs fine tuning so expect either a little more i.e. 10hp-20nm as they add another 500rpm or a little less if they map in a bit more mid-range grunt at the expense of top end figures.
It's making 920hp and 1130nm (830ft/lbs) so far
Are you changing the gearing at all?

WOW!
Just gave the car a quick wash before it started to bucket down!
Will have had the car 4 weeks on Tuesday and covered Approx 3,000 miles and love it! great to drive the distances and on a 500 round trip yesterday I managed an indicated 61mpg.
I do have an issue where between 60 - 80mph which we believe is tyre noise. The garage haven't been able to pinpoint it so far as both front tyres have been changed, they are fitting 2 new rear tyres on Tuesday so fingers crossed it will solve it...4 brand new tyres isn't a bad deal either!
Also at 1000bhp it is a weapon.

I'm not sure I want to go in that rs6 again Ian, it was scary enough at 700 odd
Pax Rides - Probably my favourite thing to do so there will definitely be pax rides in the future but I want to get used to the new power level a little before I start doing them.
Nope, it max's out at 220mph but anything over 195mph starts to get scary (did a "0-206mph in 36sec" vid on youtube), plus tyres/engine etc can have a much higher chance of failure when operating at those top speeds.
All the info is here - https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18681550 - and I've just updated it. That thread will be updated once I get the car back on the 22nd!

I like the colour, and the wheels. It's still a Vectra though

The Police used to have a few of them, might still have them, I'm not sure...
Silver ones, I think with non VXR wheels, de-badged etc.
They were 2.8T Elite's IIRC.
