After much looking into tuning my V6 S, I have bit the bullet and bought a V8 R. I guess that solves my power fetish 😁

Arrgh!

Was going off the tuning route too, as insurance was denting the value of the extra horses - and having watched the value of the V8 getting better and better I've been trying not to look lately!

I actually prefer the more "tuned" sound of the V6 to the V8 growl - so I keep telling myself...

I know what you mean, I love the howl of the V6 at full chat. But after driving the V8 it is very smooth and it bloody takes off when prodded. I guess I will just have to get used to the noise ;)

Oh and when I checked my insurance, it was another £50 😊

You will never get used to the noise - it's very addictive. ;)

Once you’ve had that supercharged V8 engine in your life, you can’t live without it!
