Her fisrt Rolling Road, very happy!!!! - 19/08/2008 16:41
Hi everyone!
Took the Coupe for her first Rolling Road today. Went down to Wallace Performance in Aberdeen to see if I could arrange one. Matty was on hand to guide me through everything and booked her in for 3.
Matty gave her a look over to see if she looked well and proper (needing a new radiator; was showing corrosion on the fins) and then he strapped her down.
First run was exciting to say the least. I’ve been told that on full chat, with the Pecco exhaust, she sounds like a demon but I've never had the chance to hear her from the outside myself. My my she’s a beast ha-ha!
Anyway, first run she made.....
Max power - Wheels 205.5 bhp @ 5942rpm
Max power - Engine 238.8 bhp @ 6109rpm
Max Torque- 245.5 lbft @ 3167
Second run
Max power - Wheels 205.9 bhp @ 5916rpm
Max power - Engine 238.4 bhp @ 6150rpm
Max Torque- 247.4 lbft @ 3152rpm
Fuelling was spot on; one of the best Matty had seen apparently (I bet he says that to all his customers )
So all in all I’m as happy as can be. Was a great experience and now I known that the Coupe is nice and healthy. Thanks goes to Matty. He was spot on, cool meeting you. Also good to know a coop professional is just down the road from me, touch wood ha-ha.
Sorry for the long post folks. Excitement got the better of me.
