158 mph in my R. That is where the speed limiter kicks in. I'd love to see what she can achieve when not limited. I drive flat out as often as possible. Which is quite often the case :) 120-130 mph on daily basis is the standard.

I have lifted my RCZ R few times. On one side only. Once it was as I was just looking under the car for I thougt there might be a valve attached to the muffler and the other time I was swapping the wheels. No issues at all. I lifted the car exactly at the marks where it should be lifted (I mean...

sounds like fun! I don't know which route you're going to take north-south through Germany, but try to avoid the motorway A61. It is boring (apart from the area around the river Mosel) and almost entirely speed limited. If you have time on your hands, take the A3 next to it. @RCZ1 Thank you! I...

short update here: Meanwhile I have driven some 3000+ miles with the R. And still, each mile is getting better and better. Exhaust is also getting slightly louder with some lovely burps on the overrun. Car behaves very predictable unless you go for the very last 5%. Then you need to have the...

^ it is similar to the Mitsubishi Pajero. It was never sold in Spain due to the word "pajero". Or generally speaking, in no spanish-speaking country :)

Agree. Even during past 3-5 years it changed a lot (got worse). One advice: never go there when Australia's youth got their spring break. I was there (accidentally) and it was hell on Bali, mostly to the southern part (I've been to Daytona beach spring break too, which was quite funny). But...

I had the P Zero on my previous frontwheel driven turboed car. It ate them entirely after only 10k miles (compared to over 25k miles on Michelin). But the tyre shop owner I work with told me the new generation of that P Zero Nero has been improved in regards of tyre wear. How much? I don't...

the only trouble I have with my 2014 nav is when the car was sitting in bright sun for a while. Then the satnav starts and does a quick self-reboot. After that it works flawlessly.

Memories... Great pictures! Some of them look almost the same as mine from 2009 :greetings-wavingblue: Is that first picture of the Torr Road, north of Cushendune, towards Ballycastle? Looks so familiar to me. I love Ireland. I must return there soon.

It's a shaguar! Nice ride! Enjoy the beautiful California!

That's what I thought too :) Didn't want to be pesky. As you said above, the car is really special. After over 1500 miles in mine I'm still warming up to her but I can tell you each and every ride gets better and better. Yesterday I took her for over 150 miles on deserted B roads. On my way I...

Spoiler deployed? Nope, cannot be an R. They have a bigger, fixed spoiler

Took her today for a B road blast. Lovely motor and chassis. Absolute able to tackle B roads at speed beyond 100mph.

Thank you very much! Yeah, did over 1500 miles already. But still had no opportunity to test its limits beyond some top speed runs. To be honest I have no worries about the car's size. Driving in narrow road construction zones next to lorries is not a problem. About this ride: if you're...

I run on vpower only. Managing high 30s in the R is very easy. Yesterday I made my girl a woman :) We went for the first top speed run. The R reached 255 km/h (158mph) rather easily and was stopped smoothly by the limiter (speed limiter cause there was some revs left over).

I recommend you give the S3 a good spanking on the autobahns. And then you will encounter your nightmare. Lowish 10s mpg is normal. I've done that in an S3 demo car. Audi was never famous for high mpgs, at least not over here. If you are for high MPGs you take a boring diesel...

OMG, it wasn't my intention to kick off such discussion. Street racing? I don't bother. For kiddies. Different corner: have you noticed when you rev the engine above 6000 with the aircon on, the aircon compressor switches off? I just noticed today. Aircon went off as soon as I crossed the 6000...

Thanks guys! I do! Meanwhile 400 miles are on the ODO. I did some B roads drives, plenty motorway miles and some city runs. As I'd like to keep it steady until the 1000 miles mark is crossed, I haven't pushed her to the limits yet. But I couldn't resist to speed up to 140 mph for once :D I...

First 100 miles are done. Car mechanics are loosening slowly, gear change gets more and more crispy, clutch works very good, the brakes bite like a snake. Terrific. I also very like the sound inside. A little too much boomey sometimes but in 99% of time it fits the car very good. Today I will...

hi guys, finally, after over 7 month of pregnancy I got the keys to my red RCZ R today. Just picked her up and did the first drive (about 10 miles only). Right now I'm busy with appointments but afternoon I will give her good spanking on some B roads. First impression? I got her sideways in...
