Enormous fun, but still couldn't quite bring myself to take it right up to the Red-Line yet. Guess I'm still worried the engine will come out of the car over my left shoulder (UK). 
Gentle driving in Auto is giving me around 26MPG, driving like last night probably around 21MPG.....but hell, its only fuel!!  |
Ahh silly Europeans and your different MPG measuring and fuel octanes. Us in America can manage maybe 22 MPG on the combined cycle if we drive like grandma's.
Do it when you're ready, but building trust with your car often requires for you to explore its limits.
