Chris, well done and a great leap of faith. I will be interested to hear your summary on how the car js taking the miles.
Ah should of come to see me! I was thinking of buying this car, but needed to sell mine firstJust been to see an old business mate in Leigh on Sea, and took him around the block.
Really not sure where the idea that its not noisy enough comes from An H-pipe seems very sensible, but I suspect anything else will need to be valved!
You can very much feel the weight though. It has a wonderful sense of momentum, and by heck, it shifts

Quick? Really compared to the 42?
Yes but more in the 0-100 time and that is the big factor. Weight is also a big advantage.
I reckon it must be down to the gearing as the 4.2 is a lot faster than many people think. I was very surprised to see how well Stevo's 4.2 went on the Le Mans trip last year - there really wasn't much in it compared to the lighter coupes.
Chris, it's not that it doesn't sound good already its just that when you unleash the engine noise it sounds EPIC!
One thing I struggled with was the sheer size of it, length and width.
In terms of pace, I agree. It wafts along like a Bentley.
It's a lovely car. For interior trim, D-Class I haven't used but always are well recommended. There's also the thread on this forum where someone had the Tech Cloth on a GS was fully replaced with leather.
I followed Miles once.

I guess it's what you get used to - if mine is not in sport mode, it feels like I can barely hear it! I guess this set up has rendered me deaf - you can all let me know what you think when he hear it at Brooklands
