Just interested if anybody else feel overly-mechanically sympathetic...and any experiences of driving style to make me feel better (or worse !)

Assuming yours is a OEM UK Hawkeye (2.5) I wouldn't really bother reving much past 6k. The power normally dies around those revs. These cars are torquey, so change at 6k and drop back on to that acceleration again!

It all depends on what I'm racing or what mood I'm in!!! And as my hawkeye is not playing ball it's all or nothing at the mo;-)
