ChrisSZ Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Considering one of these - anyone had any experience or got any (worthwhile) opinions on them? (PS 2k posts:d ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I've only been a passenger in one but they are a nice place to be. What age are you thinking of? The S8 is quite affordable these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradoopa Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Whats the specs on them? would a bpu beat one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow man Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Watch the gearbox not the best!! but still nice car dito on the S8:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Looking to spend around £5k - S8s are still a little out of my range at the moment I think they're listed as around 300bhp and 1800kg so a BPU Supe would have no trouble seeing one off (unless it was wet/muddy/snowing LOL ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambertpig Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Whats the specs on them? would a bpu beat one? bpu supra is far faster than 300bhp 4.2 a8 ,the facelift 360bhp s8 may fair better but still not as fast.big big car huge 4 wheel drive transmission losses i liked mine a lot and great value for money .carefull though autoboxes need carefull inspection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Watch the gearbox not the best!! but still nice car dito on the S8:) Ah yes, same 'box as the one I destroyed on an A6, expensive to fix too Whats the specs on them? would a bpu beat one? Older S8 is 360bhp and 0-60 around 6 seconds, the current model is 5.2 litre V10, 450bhp and approx 5 seconds to 60 - the engine is similar to the Gallardo one but not a detuned version like a lot of people report. 20" alloys too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 LOL. If I could afford the new S8 I'd have one in a minute!! As it is my budget is somewhat limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
