And Rcz1 the Roc R isn't really the competition here its the 2014 Audi TT .0-60 times are useless and rarely achieved by jo bloggs
and topping a car out at 155 mph or 240kph is iIegal in this country and on most car forums just by stating that you achieved these or anywhere near these speeds,normally comes with warnings then banned :eusa-think:
Old post I realize but just thought I'd share my opinion.
The BHP is amazing from a 1.6 litre! It drives perfectly around town and also when you have a clear dual carriageway etc, always being very stable, with in my view exceptional handling.
When I test drove mine it shocked both me and the salesman as to the raw power available, as well as the stability and control.
Performance wise my dad's 4.0 litre XK Jag is less powerful. The RCZ R being over half a second quicker 0-60.
The RCZ R looks stunning, mines red and I love the way it compliments all the other internal red touches stitching etc. and the contrast with the black double bubble roof. Much better than the Audi TT!
Oh and yes we are all very naughty boys and girls if we have ever exceeded a speed limit, so we'll keep tight lipped on that.
Of course it you had the cash you could use one strictly as a track car with a few mods.
Overall I still love starting that engine and hearing that exhaust note before I drive off. It's my daily driver. I think cars should be driven and enjoyed not stuck in a garage. Unless of course you're a multi millionaire with a large selection of motors.
Just enjoy the bloody car.
