Re: Tyre choice - feedback required. I have not used any of those listed here tyres on my RCZ. Michelin PS4 will not be available in 235 40 19. So it'd be Michelin PSS instead. But I do not recommend them for your driving profile. They do last very long but you will not like them on your RCZ...

It is sometimes :lol: . But while the others struggle with their VWs, Mercs and other brands (Italian), I do not :greetings-wavingblue: Since I started with cars I was into Japanese and french cars. More into Japanese, but I learnt to love the french too. With my relatives, it was the same...

As I already said, you only are chasing after numbers and not the actual results on the roads. But that is OK, I mean this is your approach to car happiness and I'm absolutely fine with that. If you take your R and any SLK (except for the AMG models) on to the highway and compare both, the R...

Thanks for the hint! Is it just one page of read per each car?

I actually like it very much how it was done. The ratios have been selected perfectly for the available power output and car's aero (drag). You can sense there was someone behind it who really knows what he is doing and is not influenced by some marketing clowns. The best thing about those short...

No worries with the RCZ R. The tyres are specified to over 186 mph.

Glad to hear that! Please let us know the outcome. Honestly I do not expect any quirks but nevertheless the result might be interesting. After 2.5 years in mine I'm also close to 70k (69k as of now) and I only can agree with what you just said. This year I want to switch to another new car but...

Re: A new year has meant a new car.. RCZ R in mercury Grey.. Welcome to the R gang :beer: :greetings-wavingblue:

Happy New Year to all of you! When in hurry, always have a free lane in front of you! When sad, take a ride in your RCZs! :beer:

Which they are. It is not so much about top speed but more about pulling from, let's say 70 up to 120-130 mph. Because hardly anyone is driving faster than 130 on autobahns these days. I'd say it is about not letting a Peugeot pass because I'm driving a 70k Euro benz or audi. So you cannot...

all those 3.0 biTDIs, or merc 350CDI, beemers 535d, even the 550d. In general all which are way above 200bhp. The hardest to pass is the newest 335d as in the 3 series shell the car is lighter and it is pulling all the way up to 140mph before it runs out of puff.

That's cute! Thank You very much. Wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a successful New Year 2017 :greetings-wavingblue:

Compared to the very very old Conti 3 the P Zero is a great tyre. Without any doubt. I had them too. But compared to GoodYear Assy 2 or the newer 3 version, I'd pick them over the Pirellis anytime. The P Zero offers way too more grip for the RCZ's chassis. Wear off is also a problem on those...

If it was "real" data, it'd require an oil temp sensor on the engine. Is there such? A similar simulation of engine's oil temperature does the Renault Megane Cup. It has no dedicated oil temp sensor on the engine. It just calculates the values and displays them to the driver. At the end this is...

Correct. And which is normal for euro6 petrol engines

Thanks a lot! :greetings-wavingblue: Looks like this is the output of a temperature simulation also utilized by the car's ECU. It simulates the oil temperature based on the coolant temperature and the load applied to the engine. It is absolutely sufficient for what it does.

according to Clarkson, Cockster=Boxter and Gayman=Cayman :dance:

If you are chasing after numbers only then you'll need to put more cash into the car. I'm happy with mine. It does true 167MPH, outruns Gaymans and the 996 generation of 911s, all the big diesels. So almost no opponents on the daily commute. But let me ask you again, are you happy with the...

That is the reason why they do it. When it comes to those low HP figures I'd say it comes from their dyno. Other dynos will show other numbers. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Important is the final result. Let me ask you this, do you feel a significant power up after the remap?

@DKZ Does it actually show any values on those two bars while driving? And if so, are there any numbers to it? Thanks!
