...just took the Cossie out for its first run for a while now...30psi around 540bhp and greasy roads FUCK me was it fun though had a play with some sport Audi off a roundabout i flawed it completely sideways up the road for a good while...once i had a tad of grip as i slipped into in 3rd it bit the other way snaking all over the shop...the audi backed right off a long while ago ...cant wait for dry weather

Just reminded me how quick a real fast car is..bearing in mind my daily driver has AMG in its title


Funnily enuff i didnt have time to spare a thought to my death topic until i got indoors

I think that power on winter roads must be ridiculous! Most i've had is my 320 odd bhp and even that feels stupid when its slidy

What rear tyres n rear diff u got Phil?

Anonymous

235 falkens on back...std diff i think...i just know your setting me up to say it cant go sideways..but i know what it did...it tends to do it in the dry too hangs and goes side to side Too much power or fucked suspension?

Stavros

Mate, wasnt setting you up for owt, ANY car will go sideways, regardless, just depends how well.
Ive been diffing it up every night in a standard Volvo 360 with an open diff for the last week or so!

I was just wondering what you had that even got that much power down that well to be honest.

...what power and what down?..i had grip slightly as i let off and shifted to 3rd then backed off due to too much danger..as said does the same in the dry...boost is optimum at 1.5bar in the dry ...got mike r shims which did help a bit and rear konis..feels a bit wrong though so gonna put some rear coilovers on

Stavros

Well sounds like tho you lit em up, you were still travelling forward at a good rate of knots, so you did well i think for the power.

...well even spinning away it felt twice as fast as the merc ...but nowhere near as safe...it revs soooooo fast

Getting mine out tomorrow for a coastal drive with a load of bmws should be fun.

...it is bad out there..the amg traction light is on at any whiff of throttle down..Transit 76ps is all you need this weather!

It does sound like good fun, but surelywith big power it would be better with 4x4 to get the most out of it on the road.
