    My neighbor has two Sierras! One is the RS500, winged wonder (2 door) and the other is the 4 door cozzy turbo version, he uses it to tow his wifes horse float I am forever trying to convince him to bring the RS500 down to the track so I can chase him round the paddock for a few laps, but he's just not taking the bait. Seems he'd rather polish the damn thing.

    Whats the point in having a monster in the shed if you're not going to drive the wheels off it?

    I think that's what Greg has, the RS500. But he believes cars are for driving. His E55 AMG and his Maserati are often filthy. He's a good driver, too!
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
    Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

    The very car that popped up in conversation a couple of days ago. Many moons ago in the UK a mate had one & "chipped" it for performance. Not sure how true this is, it was a big deal at the time, but could just have been boy racer bollocks.

    He has enough... You can't begrudge this guy though, he's worked very hard for a long time to earn it. No silver spoon for him. He's one of the nicest blokes you could meet, too.

    The 2lt turbo was 400hp in the RS as far as I know. Not sure what he's aiming for but knowing Greg it will be too much because enough is not enough.
