Driving that car fast is very counter intuitive, to me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In low speed corners you need to do the same but less aggressive on the approach. It has a lot of lateral grip but will understeer or oversteer if you don't chuck it into corners and nail it before mid corner decel happens and it oversteers or spins out. I hope that makes sense. Driving like that takes a bit of a leap of faith but it seems to work. You can hold it flat for a lot more of the track than you think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was running it at about 4 to 5k in 2nd and 3rd Made me smile Did have the window down to listen to that V8 goodness, but not much noise cos standard crap exhaust. Coming back down the range I managed to be a bit smoother, so Mrs BCB didn't swear at me Looking forward to getting back home to play Project cars 2 now In manual mode it blips the revs on downshift. It's a shame the ZF doesn't. It's awesome at the racetrack. But makes you look like a homho on the street. Sounds like you want to race everyone. Come on. Tell the truth. You liked the holden. So now image one with 3.45 diff instead of 2.92 and another 40rwkw. That's what I drive every day. PS- still a slug compared to the F6, but a nice seat to spend hours in.

You liked the holden. yeah I liked it sure beats a Toyota Corolla eh @Rab I don't know if you read my other post about the dash reflecting on the inside of the windscreen But that does look like a design fault to me I tried to adjust the position of my head to see if it would make a difference but same everywhere I tried ended up using the reflection of the headup display as the best "clear spot" to look through maybe a dash mat would fix it, but I really hate those things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaces his 7yo lappy which was due for an update (school/uni/ etc) and should last him for a long time (at least til his out of my wallet and paying for my retirement ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
