Now some of you will have and some of you wont, and the ones that havent need to stop inputting an opinion.

IMO its a very fast car, with a mighty engine and some people will feel its brutal.
I didn't get to drive it Steve, but I was in one a couple of weeks ago and the owner did a couple of full tilt 0-100 (and to 140 and one point) runs.

It's very fast, but I'd also say it's better mannered and more civilised than anything else with similar performance.

In contrast to say a track set up 911, which feels pretty 'brutal' when the engine starts to overtake you and you go into a spin at 90mph.
