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!"

Smells german automobile in here
Poor puppy
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
