Couple of shaky video’s below (taken on a private road) this evening.

First one is a rolling start from 10mph in first gear only, which gets me to about 56mph. Note this is about ¾ acceleration power otherwise ESP would kick in.

First Gear Video

The second one is a rolling start from 18mph in first gear at full power, and the ESP kicks in pretty much straight away (road about 95% dry) and kills then engine. It then drops into second gear as the engine died, and I floored it (without kick down) and traction re-gained at about 75mph when the ESP light stops flashing, changing into third at about 90mph, to 115mph as I backed off.

Second Video

Now if only I can find a place to use some of this power on a daily basis. Germany maybe? ;)

If I get some time tomorrow I’ll see if I do write a quick three-week review of the car.

Regards,

Matt.
 
:bannana: PS. I hope you are looking after "my car" ;)
 
Cool video's! Thanks for posting them guys.
 
Very nice, love the sound. Not got many good clips of our V8 Kompressor, need to take some I think:D
