    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?

    EDIT: I was on an 1/8 mile drag strip, and beat a Marcus V8 by .06 of a sec

    No traction control on Mr Bountyfull so no need to turn it off.

    Nice idea but don't think that's where the costs are shame though
