On me way back from work yesterday down the A1 followed a nice black HST and thought I would carry out my own real world test to see how much performance difference there is between an SC and my TDV8.
Pulling away from a roundabout from say 30 there was very little in it all the way up to say 125 he eeked a little on me then the bends came at 120 fast sweepers on the A1 he bottled it...I know its not big and its not clever but the car handles very nicely.
Then I held my car flat out was pulling about 130 when he just eeked past again.
Big grins all round now need to get mine chipped so the reverse will happen next time if I see him on my manor again.
I thought it looked very nice in black and quite fancy a set of the chrome side vents for my mota.
Will go with my bling chrome mirror covers.
only gripe so far is paint finish on my nearside doors that I will need attending to by my stealer very soon.
other than that very nice.
 Blick with blick windows, big wheels, tow bar for nickin, side steps for the tart, DVD screens for on the go porn, 22" Stormers black and polished... as a matter of fact just about every box ticked.....if I`m going down I`m going down BIG time. ))

Did the same thing the other day with my mate although a bit unfair as he has the V6 Good fun letting him catch up then pressing the loud pedal as he strained to get past By the way this was on a deserted German Autobahn.

Car accelerated up to 120ish no problem but took a little longer to get to the 130mph mark Trip computer on Average Fuel consumption dropped pretty rapidly, but think what would of happened with the SC
