Sure is.

Not sure about a step backwards though, 450bhp V8 with an 8500rpm redline, I should imagine it's still fun.

A real shame you didn't get any video footage Nigel, go-pros are perfect for such an event.

It was a little joke, hope this one lands intact!

You'll have to post up next time youre out on display Nigel, you might get a few mod requests once people see what you've created!

Nigel is your Coop the most powerful/fastest one in the UK?

No - not by a long shot - there's at least half a dozen, maybe ten with more power. Several are at well over 500bhp and two or three cars are over 600bhp

In the words of a rubber tyre "Power is nothing without control" and that's where Nigel's coupe (and Nigel's driving) wins hands down.

Fantastic, sounds like the perfect trackday!

I also seem to surprise AMG owners etc, not to mention myself. I think the relative low weight of the Coupe, with the very broad powerband just makes it very competative still.
Agree with the MTEC's, seem to withstand a lot of abuse! I use Performance Friction 08 pads, which are mental.

Just filled the Coupe with V-Power - including the 120 miles cruising to and from Bruntingthorpe, it averaged just 17.7mpg....

Having had it on the ramps at Motormech to investigate the clunking, it also appears to have trashed the offside bottom balljoint and the shoulder of the offside tyre.

Still good fun though

Good work Nigel and a great showing for the Coupe...... I love this kind of David and Goliath battering

Lol - breaking little bits is always OK.
