        When I tested a 09 G8 2 years ago it felt quite slow and sluggish compared to the 6, at least in the acceleration from 0 to maybe 75.
        Dunno if it was because I was having too much expectations from it, or because the car is so well made that you cant feel the speed.
        At least when I drove a GTO, the fun factor was thrilling and the acceleration spectacular.. this was before my drive on the G8

        DoD should be selectable, hell, I a, buying a 6.0 V8....I know what I am getting into in terms of MPG so DoD should become active at speeds over 50, light throttle, low load conditions.... not at a pesky 35 mph!!!

                unforunately no. money is very tight. helping out my girlfriend and my mother has put a halt to my savings and my spending. So slowly but surely it will pay off.
                I might not make the event on the 16th because i have just taken on a new job position at brus room.
