So, which one do you prefer driving - the V8 or the mapped Turbo?

danbmx_69 · 17th June 2014, 12:02

That's a very hard question to answer as evan though they are both in essence the same car they both are worlds apart, the turbo seams alot more lighter on its feet so to speak and alot more willing to rev but that's only because the k is a revy little lump, where as the v8 is alot smoother to drive naturally and has loads more low end grunt so you never need to rev it so it is more relaxed drive in that respect, but that's not saying it can't be fun, but I would say for practical performance and evey day driveing with fuel consumption in mind it has to be the turbo for me

By the cringe, remind me not to use Snow Foam, it appears to have removed the top coat of paint from your car

I think that Zt-t V8 in XPower Grey looks stunning
