I've only seen 12 by starting the engine and demisting the car etc for 5 mins then getting stuck in traffic on the way down Great Western Road. But 17 is more likely. Unless you're racing between lights. It gets into 6th at 35mph. |

Spending £40K
With £40K to spend I'd be very tempted by a low mileage M5 plus a Z4M Roadster for Spring, Summer, Autumn weekends. Get some winter wheels for the 5 and I'm all set for year round fun, entertainment und uberfreude am fahren. There's nothing like a daily 500HP drive and 6.00am open road, open top motoring in an M-screamer.
Little heavy on the tyres and double maintenance side but balanced by C63 depreciation and GTR servicing/repair costs. |

I honestly can't begin to imagine what 600bhp feels like in a GTR on an open road. I assume your car would put a stock facelift GTR to shame! |

He's getting around 16mpg at the mo as he's running the new engine in for a bit (aside from a few blasts which puts it into single figures. I've been looking on piston heads and there are some amazing deals on these cars. For the money I think you'd struggle to beat that power and all round use ability. The newer one blew away the jag xkrs in a drag and quicker around the TG track than a Veyron!!!!! And all for £70k!!! Bargain |
