The power is there no question but unlike the turbocharged cars I have had there is no waiting and then that nice shove of torque. It is almost the same linear delivery of the standard car just lots more of it, it fair go's!!!Originally Posted by willow
Then there is the noise, don't push it and you would never no there is anything but a lovely yank V8 under the bonnet. However once pressed the whine is rather addictive.
As stated in a previous post the 50-70mph in top has dropped by almost a third so a big change. I will post other times soon.
It may be hard to justify 7.2k on a car that not worth much more but I would do it again knowing what I know now. I hope this helps anyone out there saving hard.

Sounds fabulous.
How's it get on with the 260's traction control?
The first thing I do when I get in the 260 is turn it off as I find it annoying.
Does anyone actually use the traction control and find it useful?
I was going to ask Dreadnought their thoughts on it if I went for the upgrade.
"It may be hard to justify 7.2k on a car that not worth much more but I would do it again knowing what I know now. I hope this helps anyone out there saving hard."
I think £7.2k is ok. It moves the car up to the performance of cars costing several times that. Does anyone know the 0-60 of a SC'd 260?
