Blimey I seem to remember it was about a month ago you posted the RR figures for the upgrades, you've left it a month to go for a blat .

Quiet satisfying when all is well , you'll never have the same amount of torque though but the 4ltr is such a sweet reving engine, much more fun IMHO .

You should have heard the fuss earlier in the year when 'gbgaffer' left a 500 on a up hill drag in his 'old' S4C , albeit a cossie 24v special though .

Alan its goes a little quicker now . Sub 120 it will get there as quick as the next car , but I think the lack of aerodynamics of the S means that past that it can be a little drawn out.

Considering you were in the Cerb then, I just assumed you were doing 'AJP short shifting' whilst thinking of the next service bill .

Well now you've got a RV8 version you can give it a bit more stick with a clear mind and wallet . Best hurry up though won't be able to do that in the T350T .
