obi Member 150 Member For: 18y 9m 8d Location: Qld Posted 16/01/07 04:01 AM Share Posted 16/01/07 04:01 AM Up till now I had full intentions of getting a Edit, but after my trip down South I think I'm happy with what I've got. On numerous occasions while overtaking in a dual lane & comming to the merge to the right & the car in front about to merge I had thought that I was on full boost, only to flatten it & find that it drops back a gear & takes off like a sqaulded rabbit. The car never ceases to amaze me with it's power as against the BA XR8. On all occasions the accelleration has been bloody unbelievable with the car squirming on it's ar-e even at 100 K's under boost. Every time after a last minute overtaking manouvre I've had to go for the brakes to haul off speed to bring ones self back to the legal limit. There was a couple of smart ar-se tailgaters who wanted to push the bounderies at times but with a quick throttle prod, it didn't happen again. No, I'm happy for the the time being, any more & the license would be in jeopardy & it's close now at times. Maybe I have a good one or they are just a bloody fast car. Average for the trip up & back was 9.7 ltrs 100 K's & I was not driving for economy. The car has done 5000 K's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
