We'll I'm coming from a 140 brake diesel, so prob best to ask one of the R owners that came from a Eddy/Gti.
For me it's something else, it just feels like it wants to be let go all the time  :smiley:

Lol, it still shocks me how much the needle moves not long after I drive out the Shell garage, think it starts moving from 4 miles onwards... All good fun though!

Haha I'll be coming from the same bhp car. Must feel so responsive compared to the diesels.

Always said the GT was very quick for a diesel, this is a different level
