I had a Rover 825 Sterling 24V V6. Drank fuel. Absolutely nailed nearly everything at kickdown. Hilarity, until a head gasket went.
When I was 17 a colleague and I used to run errands in the bosses cars. We got to drive all sorts of stuff but The Rover 800 Vitesses were great fun and my favourite - the power delivery was brutal at the time.
 
I like to enjoy life too much to do that sort of thing now, but

In my younger days my co car was in for servicing so I borrowed the V8 90” Land Rover demonstrator to go home for lunch. Leaving a round a bout just outside Ayr, a Sierra XR4i sort of, well tried to hassle me so I put the foot down.
I couldn’t believe the power in that darned thing but I left the Sierra way behind as I topped just over !
No I’m not going to say in case the polis are reading this but boy was it fast.
