Some pics of both cars in the my garage link. Re tyres depends on the length of time on track. On an open pit lane day you could kill a set if you spent a few hours on track, it's a heavy car and the tyres take some stick.

Here's a picture of front tyre after a couple of 20 minute sessions on 26th Oct. Not too bad mostly wear on edges but plenty of meat left.

Wow I can give the scoob a lot of stick on a full session and they wouldn't look like that!!
I guess something has to give with all that power and grip

On the 26th Oct my dad was sitting passenger and recons I was hitting 157 at the end of hanger straight (just before redline in 5th gear). Not sure what the cornering speeds around stowe were that day, I managed about 62mph entry in the wet the other day so a dry lap would be loads more force on tyres.
