Vanquish.

WOW! The sound and sheer grunt of the acceleration from the V12 was just phenomonal!!

One of the best experiences of my life!

Why did I get a ride in one. My Girlfriends brother (Christian aka Drystone) gets married tomorrow, and he's borrowed the car of his boss. Good boss eh.

Al,

I hope that you and Christian thrashed it.

[AL_B]

Absolutely!!!

Tell you what, the gear change and power delivery after the gear change is just brutal.

How does 130(kph of course) in 3rd sound? Answer: Sounds f'in fantastic!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I just about managed 120 in 3rd in the S3 coming up the A5 a couple of nights ago. It red lined and then the limiter kicked in. Sounded good I bet!

Stuffy Gits!! You'd have looked a bit out of place cruising around Rawtenstall in that eh?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

U sure your speedo is working!?! My a3 manages 105 in 3rd, and the gearing is longer than the S3/TT due to 5 speed not 6!

Pretty sure - I'll try it again tonight. Whatever gear it was it started to fade at 120.

 

[RichA3Turbo]

More likely to be 4th... Does the S3 manage 60 in 2nd? Cos my A3 does near 70 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[audi_girl]

S3 gets to about 56 in 2nd
