I have never seen a coupe I like but that is a belter!

Ravinder_Tomcat220T · 19-12-11, 12:40 AM

Buy it then.

That looks a belter and I would be very interested in it but it's a bit far for me to go look at a car which is a pity! These are getting rare now and I often keep an eye out for one but they are few and far between.

Don't let distance put you off mate. I'll travel anywhere if it is the right car. I travelled 450 miles to get my coupe.

I've been considering this over the last few days, but the distance has put me off a bit.
I know nothing about them though.
What are they like to drive and what sort of mpg do they return?

Probably around 35 miles to the gallon. Not much different to a VVC or possibly a KV6. Great cars to drive. Nice, smooth power delivery. It has a standard T25 turbo so spools up really quickly so instant power. Up the boost slightly to 12psi and it makes it fun. Handles quite well, especially this one as it has all round uprated suspension.
Solid, reliable engines. Not prone to head gasket failures like the Ks. As long as it's treated right it will be fine. I do have one after all! Great fun. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Hi Mattie,

if its replacment for the ZS or track day? then dont bother a zs 180 would take one of these on track through handling although power would be down. A
To be fair too most coupes std run mid 15 quarter miles. so do zs 180's and better if stage 1.

cannot deny this car though it does look very nice.
