Hi Guys
As above the chance came my way today to test drive a Redline manual with the w407 upgrade. My series 2 with w375 was in getting serviced, and the new car sales manager Andrew had the Redline as his drive car. Andrew being a good guy that helped me buy my car a year ago was there while i was waiting for mine. I was asking him about its road manners because i really want to get the w407. Andrew said just take it for a drive.
My impressions are that i liked it, was nice on the road, and nothing like i thought it would be, though it does need more revs at low speeds in car parks. Being brand new i didnt put the boot into it, but at 3.500 rpm it becomes a rocket, Andrew said hes getting 14.5 litres per 100 too. not bad. It also had the Walkinshaw short shifter (Rip Shifter) and really loved that. So the end result is its booked in at Formula Tech Dyno Centre on Wednesday. Just a big thanks to Andrew and Stephen at Rockingham Holden who made time for me when im sure they had better things to do
