Same power output as the C6! Glad they are making a saloon too.

Call me sad but this is going to be closer to twice as economical as the V10 for the same power output.

C6 or C7? I've never once seen 30 on the S4 DIS, that would be unbelievable on the V10!

edit - closest I got was coming home from the old Ace Cafe Sunday meets, had been parked for just over two hours, DIS reset, oil still warm, 40 cruise around north circ', was something like 29.9 as I got to the A1 link turn off, thats only about four or five miles though!
