interior
standard raven leather 3 spa guages fitted in the centre for oil temp/oil pressure boost temp/fuel pressure boost/coolant temp and switches for als and abs in the carbon panel

exterior
this car i finished in stunning noveau red it has been de locked Rouse rear spoiler

Thats the spec sheet, the car is MINT best i have had yet! The 54000miles appears genuine looking at the wear on the leather and the fact its very very clean. The WRC plate is a private one so i guess thats worth a little LOL. Never driven a properly setup Saff before with these kinda mods and i must say handles properly. I think its running around 380bhp - 400bhp so to me not that quick but shes lively enuff and its ample BHP really, oh i forgot how fucking good 6 pots are!!!! Stops on a nine pence! The gaz golds ride lovely on the road(apart from that creaking..hammertime! ) Here is a couple of pics..yes it was alot of money but to be fair its a late dash low milege minter and very very good spec so i feel its worth it....plus it would break for alot more!! Plans are to get a rouse front splitter new rear badges as they are faded a bit, thats all really for now.

I know what you mean mate, but i guess i could bung a T38 or T4 on it later..oh and my sub is going in...i could shit on the seat to make it feel more mine aswell

Yes the back needs to be lower..i have a feeling that the creaking is springs not seated right...so may be why its higher.

Yes i know 4x4 but when you get older you need the safety factor, its a kinda t/c for me LOL.

Maxest i think you are right...i just was blinded by the rouse rear and immediately thought rouse splitter but on thinking you is right!!!!! The rear one is far better than std though!

Good question mate, with launch control on the Saff i reckon it could get to 60 a bit in front, but from there the M5 blows it away and the AMG (modded) beats the M5 straight line...but all are different the saff turbo, the M5 normallly aspirated, the amg supercharged all need driving differently but i think i have summed it up

sounds an honest fair review.i honestly though the saph would maybe hold the m5 off a touch longer say near enough 100 or so.

out of all your cars to date whats been the best for everything?speed,comfort,reliability?the merc or bmw?
