well ive just got home from collecting my new car, I cant but help myself deliberating over the last 6 years or so and how my weekend/toy cars have progressed from the beginnings being a 470hp cosworth.
all I can say is if you've never been in one, my god as a driving experience they are genuinely mind blowing.
I have only run the lowest boost setting so far of 1 bar and honestly it feels as fast or faster than any other car ive driven, I will confirm with some vbox pulls in due coarse.
it is effortless to drive and the noise, oh my god the missus got a driveby vid but it hasn't come out its got that sound like the supercars have I am smitten with it lol

and some pics needs a clean but honestly cant be arsed atm lol
you can waft along at 40 mph and it will sit in 6th gear at 1500 rpm burbling silky smooth ! slow moving in traffic crawling along no judders, rattles nothing just like a standard modern car would, my only gripe is with r888 tyres all round 315/35/20 rears, 285/35/20 fronts it whines so bad tyre noise it sounds like its got a wheel bearing gone lol, but they are needed to be able to use all the power, I can imagine its gonna be quite violent at 1-6 - 1.8 bar lol
and when you want some fun just tap the paddle shift once puts it in manual and then away you go but even in manual it will still shift 20 rpm before hitting the limiter so it is never touched, ryan has genuinely mapped the car to perfection.
I bought the car from ryan Griffiths himself it was his own personal development car that he used to make the syvecs kit fit the gtrs.
has cruise control, electric seats, displays to monitor everything as standard then extras all monitored by the syvecs ecu, its like a playstation car lol
I was questioning myself if im going mad spending this amount of money on a car but as a machine its in another league to anything ive ever had.
and best of all the missus and kids can get in and they all love it
my girls
the car will see some pod action once ive recovered from the shock of spending the amount ive spent
lmao
