BrianFaePerth Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 You not hit the limiter? I managed it on a 500-hire car, was about 130km/h it cut in. Around town, the Panda is unbeatable. Nope, the car was perfectly happy, no different than drive at about 120/130. Link to comment

looksgoodinred Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Wouldn't expect a pen pusher to appreciate the beauty and mechanics of a simple powerful combustion engine. Indeed. Combine it with some beautiful lines, and you've got a great car. The Hellcat is loud and boisterous, yet it is also surprisingly competent on the racetrack, and this despite its 2,018 kg weight. You won’t find yourself flicking it through turns, as you would, say, a Subaru BRZ, and you certainly need a judicious right foot to keep the rear end from leading you out of corners, but there’s minimal body roll, easily manageable understeer and an altogether decent level of cornering grip.What really helps the Hellcat lap a racetrack quickly—aside from its ungodly power—is its stiffer suspension, large-diameter, solid stabilizer bars, sticky 20-inch Pirelli P Zero tires, and huge Brembo brakes.Take that Audi!

looksgoodinred Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 More importantly LGIR, is the backseat spacious enough for you? leaving heel marks in the headliner would be a nono in such a beautiful beast. but aye, there's plenty of room in the Hellcat Link to comment
Tyrant Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 My job is to source genuine motor parts to aid our repair workshop overhaul drilling motors, i can raise purchase orders for any value i want without question, so a huge level of trust is being shown that i can not only source the correct parts but i can get them for the best possible value. I also supply motors on the side, which also carries with it a level of responsibility as if I order the wrong ones not only can they "Blow up" but also severly impact on drilling productivity due to having to wait up to 16 weeks for the correct motor to be supplied. What is it that you do? Call centre boy? Pretty sure you're a purchasing assistant. You really dont have a clue do you! And you have the cheek to call me thick! Hahahaha. Fucking RATTLED by MT min!!

Bluto10 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Boink!That's the penny dropping.Kawasaki do better sports bikes than Ducati.Aye if you like high spec high tech jap crap they do. But look at the history of ducati.And those lines min. Those lines. Canna put a price on class. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Speaking of class and style I think we can swiftly discount anything g remotely related to north america. There's things that Americans do well like burgers, heavy people, big stuff etc. But a stylish drive is not one of them. Link to comment

Looks great without badges, what engine have you gone for?" "Thanks guys - its only the 1.8TFSi as I couldn't justify spending any more, plus I am mostly sat in traffic!

Mate selt me a dummy then. Must be something to do with the exchange rate between Scotland n England then cos when I got the car the engine got bigger. Mate's obviously used a forum thread to show us the car. I didn't read the comments, just assumed that was the car as it came via Audi Haydock n is de badged n other than the engine is exactly the same. Surprised the 2012 (1.8 ltr) is more expensive to tax than the 2 ltr Apologies Redstar. Anyway, mine is £30 to tax lol Link to comment
Redstar Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 No worries F'n'D...as you are committed to the Greens now you should really consider binning the A5 and going for the G Wiz...I read a study on Diesel emissions and the damage they cause folks recently...man that's scary...

Lovely in black but stunning in grey with the red interior. Hoping to be able to play about with this one a bit and get some additions. 7" screen, black and red alloys and Tuscani badges. Been looking into a DAB radio for planet rock but the ones ive seen have been whooring expensive. Link to comment

Redstar Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 It was the the H on the wheels that clued me inCompanies like Hyundai and Kia have come on leaps and bounds in last 10 years...any company that offers a 100,000 mile warranty is very confident in their product...I doubt any Audi or BMW ever sees 100k without at least £10k in failed components and garage time...
