    VERY QUICK CAR.

    Got the privilege of taking this beast for a drive.I got told to try it out,put the foot to the floor.Take this to Bathurst any day,615hp,but the torgue was a blistering 896nm.Especilly when its twin turbo and you put yr foot to the floor.
    Quiet a dangerous car to drive if you dont respect it power.Dont worry i didnt break any speed limit,just too windy up here.You wouldnt want to be pissed driving it thats for sure,quick trip to the grave i reckin.Name:  20210405_091427.jpg

    I believe top gear in the Clarkson Era looked at that or its predecessor and declared it mad, too much power that couldn't be used without killing yourself.

    Was in Taupo, having a coffee at Kefi by the big helicopter. Just walking back to the bikes and an Audi S6 pulls up, suspension and brake works, painted an awesome grey and 21” rims. I stopped by the driver and commented on how good the car looked, my son in law has one 300 BHP, he thanked me and said this was his family car and was poking out 720 BHP. My old Cossie was 220 and I thought that performed well???

    Did a supercar day at Hampton downs a few weeks ago, was lots of fun.
    Pick of the lot for me was the lotus exige though, bought another 4 laps in it. Only one I would consider buying as it’s so track focused.

    Great day out for any Petrol heads here

    Couple of days ago,about 15 to 20 early model dodge challengers stayed in Tekapo the night.I seen 4 of them at the gas station slowly driving out on the main highway.Motors sounded buitifull,not much throttle on the pedal tho.They came down from the other island touring the mainland.Youd need a fat Wallet to feed them motoring at its best.
