what a load of bollox, they comparing the vxr8 to an m5, then race it against a 530i not mentioning that fact, but just say its quicker! YES IT IS quicker than a 530. But not a gallardo eating M5

Yes, he did explain Carlosloshki, hence the family merc & Audi also in the line up. Was the Miswah taking away your concentration?

No she wernt there, she was round her sistwah doin a x-mas tree.

What you have got to remember is the ''other 35k cars'' were built with luxury more important that speed, which is the opposite with the 35k Vaux..

It was a price point spin to the story that's all. Do you want a premium badge with good perfomance vs a mass market badge with higher performance, ok.

Out of BMW E9X. Anyone running Procede V2.0!

Most torque will be a close call between the re-mapped diesels. Every car makes slightly different Power and torque levels.. Mine certainly wont be anywhere near the top, Im stock
