It is a big heavy car and it sounded awesome, but didn't feel that fast in a straight line either. It's also disconcerting when you can feel the transmission shunting the power round, as you're not sure what it's going to do. I did drive it very conservatively through the corners though and had to slow down after each hard lap to get the water temps back down . It later transpires that it is a common problem with the sender for the display and nothing wrong with the car .
