I'll be pushed around by a 4-pot turbo
I wouldn’t f**kin’ bother......
No I’m kidding Greg, hope you enjoy it, just make sure it’s got a decent wireless as that engine note....... :yawn: That chassis though.....hot damn...!
Yeah, I do have my concerns. Would be good to hear your experiences.
The thing that works in my favour though is my vanity. I am a proper car enthusiast but a full-on, self-confessed poser
You’ve got a cracking sense of humour Greg...!
The flat 4 turbo then.....quite honestly I thought it was dreadful Greg, why? Well there was just no drama with it, the higher the revs rose the slightly, and only slightly, the dull bassy sound got, 7000 revs sounded pretty much the same as 2000. It flew alright, no problems there, 80 felt like 40 and there the problem was compounded, you were at naughty boy speeds without having the foggiest how you got there. It did feel blown too, only very slightly but just a little dullness before it got on boost, not really a problem but if you’ve driven an S54 you’ll know, those things have incredible throttle response. You got a few pops and bangs changing down a gear which was fun but not nearly enough to make up for the sheer tediousness of the engine, and on tick over from start up, oh my lord, I’m not joking it sounded like a 1960’s Massy Ferguson, it wasn’t much better after a run either. Engine aside, amazing car, so balanced, you couldn’t get anywhere near it’s full capabilities on the road really, not without being a lunatic. It was a mistake buying it, the seats were way too hard, the demo cars had the standard GTS 2way seats which were fine, but I ordered the fancy 18way fully adjustable ones which were far too hard, so after 1400 miles I had to be honest with myself and admit I’d ballsed up, I had a punt at selling it before winter came, not really expecting to shift it but a retired guy had it, one of only two phone calls so I was bloody lucky, and especially so now that they’re putting a very slightly detuned GT4 6pot 4.0 back in the GTS, the 4 pot turbos must be dropping in value like a lead balloon soon. So there was just no theatre with it, no grin inducing howl and the fact it made such a dreadful noise meant I couldn’t live with it, never again!
That’s all just my opinion obviously though Greg, and I know others would slate me as they find it fine, as usual it’s down to personal preference, no right or wrong. If you get one chances are you’ll tell me I’m talking utter shite, and tbh I hope you do if your hearts set on one. Let us know how you get on if it happens and tell me to get stuffed. :lol:

Are you telling us the inbound pork is a tin top thingy Greg...??
