very good. It reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson talking about when he first drove the Jaguar XJ220 he said "the first time i drove it i floored the throttle and the torque on boost was so ferocious that the sterio shot out of it's slot in the dashboard, hit the back of the cabin...and Broke!" :lol:

^^^ I saw a clip ages ago of him demonstrating that, and he says something like "I don't care, I can always buy another radio". "POWER" etc

Smells german automobile in here :shock:

Poor puppy :cry:

My test drive with D24 was bit similar, when I floored it I did noticed that seatbelt grabbed me quite harshly, it was as I did lean forward to compensate acceleration, which just never did happened, it is that slow :roll:
