If I was to play ontrack, I'd leave the engine stock and optimise the handling. The corner speeds Charoudin was pulling in his DH were phenominal. It's also a lot more impressive when you dive past someone under brakes, or pass mid corner.

And, don't let your wife pack the spare key for the rental in the luggage that's in the trunk. The car won't lock, and it took 10 minutes of panic till we found out why.

Well, if a stock GT PP is limited to 260kmh, another 2 or 3 hundred ponies should be a tad faster. limiter allowing.

Jeez, if I was him, I'd be worried now.😆

That's a really long way from the old Holdens and Cortinas we had as patrol cars. Although one was a Holden 308 Ute, but it had so much accident gear in it the performance was not great.

Oh bollocks, I never looked. Duh!

Congratulations. Lovely colour, great taste. It's very exciting, getting a new toy. I still pat mine when I go in the garage and Bonnie lights up with joy.😊

Welcome. Have fun in here, nice car collection too. Watch that Ryan guy.😇

Mine does have the non existant folding mirrors. They fold with locking and can be retracted manually. My car is US spec RHD.

My gut told me it could have been mechanical, well done you.

No offence intended, but it's not to my taste. Probably due to all the crap ducktails that sprouted on all sorts of shit cars when the first Porsche turbo came out. But having said that the OP's one looks well integrated.

Yes, and then there's launch control. It's great, a fantastic boot up the backside when you let off the brake. But then try doing that in a cop infested place like NZ cities, you'll have your car impounded instantly for "unnecessary display of acceleration". Because there's no way a car launches...

I've had to reset dash colours 2 or 3 times, no sign of an update though. Swearing helps.

It's enough to drive you nuts. But, the Mustang has been far superior to her cars system. I've only had one failure to connect and I think it was my doing.

Isn't the point being missed here? The GTD is not a drag strip demon, it's a road/track day marvel. Nearly every tester comments on how driver friendly it is as a daily driver. As for it's acceleration, even 3.5 secs to 60 is 7.66 metres per second squared, or 47 metres from stopped to 60 mph...

AWD is only of value if your interests lie in straight lines. Having had one, even a good set up feels a bit dulled and less responsive. There are one or two exceptions. I love RWD in a powerful car, it's been 7 years since I had it in a non powerful car. It's great to be back. As someone said...

You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need. (Jagger/Richards, cockroaches of rock. May they both get a telegram from the King)

I have a reasonable understanding, but when AA in my wife's car connects to her phone even it's 10 times further away than mine and mine was connected 5 minutes before, I reach for the hammer.

Can you select normal with the steering wheel button while in sport?

I see that VAG have gone to ventilated wireless pads, I don't know how well they work as I turned Mustang fanboy. I have found why my phone wasn't charging though. The carbon look cover I had must have been real carbon and blocked the charge. I've got a thin plastic cover now and it is charging.
