And it's not a Courtney turbo, it's been mapped by Courtney. Mine was mapped by a bluefin so no rr printout for mine yet.

People seem to think the Nurburgring Edition is some sort of super car compared to the other VXR's

Mine was running 290bhp and I could manage an average 30mpg with mixed driving. Not to shabby.

You think that's bad people who used to buy the motorsport Calibras thought (and advertised) that they where 240bhp not 204bhp.

People on CC would come on saying they had driven both and the motorsport one defiantly felt quicker
