...a VXR8. :twisted:

Sat in one and blipped the throttle. It had a Walkinshaw exhaust and it sounded like the Devil was coming of me. :eek:

I want one.

A lot. :twisted:
 
One of our customers at work has one. Does sound good when he roars off down the road :)

Drove one round Rockingham on a VXR day a few years ago. It's a barge.

How bad of a barge? It must surely have some ability? :???:

It wouldn't be a track thing, it would be scratching the not owned a V8 yet in my life thing. :oops: lol

However, it would also be my daily and i'm guessing fuel costs would cripple me. :crybaby:
 
In relation to anything weighing less than 1.5 tons and having good handling, it's a barge, but next to something of similar size, I've never driven anything of that size/power long enough to compare to be honest.

When you're used to super-stiff fairly light cars (by modern standards), I find most "normal" cars feel bloaty! Can't argue with a nice V8 noise though. Wouldn't want to be paying commuting fuel bills for it though...
 
Had a high(ish) speed pax ride in one today at Prestwold, it's off my bucket list. You could feel the weight in it so much and whilst it sounds lovely from the outside, it was a bit ordinary saloon on the inside. :(
