All the pics of your car will go there... not in WYST - so I think the same should be applied here

Well, it depends in this case, especially for the picture freaks (you, me , nth...), the picture part is in the end at as least as important as the review, if not more so IMO the topic qualify to both sections. But as moving them around would be a mess, and having two topics already proved complicated, at least IMO, we better post them here and only here.

$42,000? Do you have the performance stats of this car?

Do the Members Review seciton rules allow for measuring performance numbers?

[dutchmasterflex]

Obviously I haven't taken a look at the rules.. This member reviews section showed up out of no where.. And I ccheck this site every half hour!

But I can pretty much understand the point of this section.. I just don't why you want to limit discussion on this topic and tell me to post about this in a another section..

I think we need vids to make a complete review

Damn - that's cheap! That's like 23, 000 GBP. For that money over here, you could get a boggo 3-series/TT etc...

I know i whinge, but i cannot believe that you can buy such a car for such little money :shock:

BTW - nice review. :good: That Nick should STFU, with his "Car and Driver is gospel" bullshit. Its nice to read what your impressions were.

And, to anser the question put forward before, just how the hell did you manage to drive an 07 car?

Do the Members Review seciton rules allow for measuring performance numbers? As I've already told you before - the more... the better! I would post official specs of the cars here - as I've done with the Ibiza. If you have stuff to corroborate them (or on the other side - to turn them down)... that would be perfect!

performance data ought to be coming in over the next week or two... as the second GT500 appointment looks to be "go"

I'm told that the big 3 magazines 0-60 and 1/4 time wern't very good...
and that a low 12 second 1/4 is possible with the GT500.

how do i get ahold of such cars?

why cant anybody :idea: :arrow:

huh? something must have been lost in the translation? what was told to youabout whom and when?

[dutchmasterflex]

ok NOW i'm confused.

But back to the topic, the GT500 looks damn sexy
