Save your cash and buy a mint E60 M5 for £15k odd, almost exactly the same amount of car for a fraction of the price. I considered it prior to getting the VXR8 and it was epic!

I'm averaging 15mpg in the VXR8 and couldn't care less! The best move anyone can make is to have a brutal V8 in their life!!

Forget people banging on about potential costs and if something goes pop...life is full of too many ifs or buts....this is all you require to make the decision final: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCtJVbJEHZg

Thanks for all of the positive comments thus far. After a few weeks of ownership I can say that the car is addictive, I've still not had the stereo on, just the rear windows down to listen to the V8 soundtrack! Fuel wise, I have a 35 mile round trip commute to work each day which is mainly...

Yes, I am in the process of reconfiguring the badge placements, one or two off I reckon. The engine does have a cover but is still a sight to behold, I'll post up soon.

With the cruise set at 70mph in 6th the rev counter reading was 1600rpm, it eats motorway miles for fun.

Thanks for all of the positive comments thus far. MPG wise, I drove from London to the North East and got a combined figure of 30mpg. However, in contrast I was stuck in traffic for over an hour yesterday and with exactly half a tank full of petrol the range said I had 41 miles...scary stuff...

VXR8 mate. Strange, I'll have a look at the video and try sort it out.

Having sold the Z4C a few months back, I decided I wanted something completely different....I then fell in love and bought the following.... A short video clip with a few blips of the throttle: http://s32.photobucket.com/user/magicgreg/media/20130806_133834_zpsfbeaf941.mp4.html

SOLD as of today for the total amount of £11,700 to a chap that I am sure will be frequenting this forum. Sad to see the Z4C go but needs must....both parties got themselves a good deal though.

And again, down to £11900.

It looks like a Hyundai Coupe, is slow and underpowered.
