urrgh! well he did always have dodgy taste in cars.
You sure the M5 doesn't have a v8 ? An M5 is a decent motor, but a 740?? Whats he ON !? DV |
might be a 540i nice motor though,
|
M5 is a V8
|
V8 M5 should be quicker to 60 than 6.5.
But only a V8 in latest model. Sounds like 5/7 series BM...or possibly E class AMG Merc or a V8 S Class?? Or what about one of the V8 Jags? Think they are limited to 155 like the Germans. Last thought - Audi A8 ??? |
A sooped up Landrover http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif or anything else with 4 doors and a V8 engine in it. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

TWR Holden GTS? monster power V8 lunatic car. 4 doors....
astraboy. |
What about one of the Holder GTS/GTR (whatever) type cars?
They use Chevy V8 (I think) pretty rapid, and would guess limited to 155mph, plus they are four door. nice cars, and pretty rare. |
Has to be German or a Jag
6.5 to 60 sounds slowish for anything recent New M5's have V8 (400 BHP), so should be a touch under 6.5 Large 7 series or Audi A8 sound most likely |
Mate's just bought a car (2nd hand) and is feeding me clues as to what it is before he drives it up at the weekend.
V8 engine engine limiter set at 155mph 245 tyres 4 door 0-60 in 6.5 secs Any ideas anyone ? I thought it might be an M5 but I don't think these have V8's ? Anyway, looking forward to a good thrash in it. |
I'd go for a big ol' jag.
You know, the type that Clarkson tested at Millbrook against Tiff in the M5. |
Thanks lads - my money is on a BMW 540.
I thought I'd persuaded him to get something he could get his teeth into like a STI V or EVO V, but he's obviously plumped for the leather armchair on wheels (he spends most of his life on the motorway) |
Holdens are not electronically limited - well the current ones aren't. All German cars (except Porsche) are electronically limited to 155mph (250kmh) if they can go that fast. |
BMW 540i has 235 tyres and is 6.4 secs 0-62 Mercedes E430 has 245 tyres and is 6.6 secs 0-62 So the E430 seems like a more likely candidate. |
DazV
So what was it? |
AWD,
Like I said, he's coming up at the weekend - he won't divulge til then. I hope he doesn't think he's gonna park that German tank on my drive! |
Answer - Lexus
And very nice it is too. Sat nav, electronic everything. Smashing car, especially for clocking up lots of motorway miles. -DV |
|
Not sure about the 155mph bit, but it was a LOVELY drive. Its as smooth as any Merc or Jag I've driven.
|
If its an LS400 it should do the 155.
Quentin Wilson likes 'em. Says they make a very good 2nd hand investment too. |
Depreciation is horrendous - original cost £60k and this was bought for £25k - think it was a 'R' reg. (1998 ?)
