i wouldnt say its a "fair" comparison against those cars really to many variables - weather/driver etc

but taken in isolation its still a fantastic result and shows its not all about POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Aw that is one seriously hot car!

They picked the right day to do it as it'd been pretty wet over there for most of today apparently.

I hope they have one at the WSR at Silverstone as I'd love to see it up close, I love those alloys!

Si - do you think Harratts will bring one to the S&C for us one month :lol:?

i hope they do - i will be able to "road test" it :lol:
 
Very nice indeed wonder if we will ever get one on the meets :smile:

They will be in a couple of years... My dad was asking why I haven't ordered one yesterday, I wish I hadn't bought a house now lol!

They look brilliant in the metal... :drool:
