Well done David, for getting out there and giving it a go. These cars were meant to do exactly that and not sit jacked up in a garage.

Yes, you are correct Justin. The owner was enjoying himself but at the same time very aware of what could go wrong if things went a bit pear shaped....

No throttle blip on the down shift into the chase causing compression lock up, a must have skill if you want to drive on the track.

So my wife just asked if I could watch this video, at the end she says to me why can’t you be this cool teaching me to drive a manual, I had to remind her that she almost crashed my vf SS into a fence hence the fact she now drives a Toyota rav 4.

Pretty hard to push the limits when it's your car and cash on the line in case of an accident, but it did seem like a bit of a Sunday drive... Owning a fast performance car is obviously different from being able to drive a performance car fast. But one hell of an opportunity.

cant believe you could not turn into the corner, changed gear as well before the turn @ the 4:57 mark yet could not turn into the corner, why the tyres could handle it, plus they are hot as well, just not concentrating that's why ? Still to think how fast and strong the W1 is, make sure you change the oil after each run ,with Mobil one or prenrite oils. :)

Would of been good had there been no music. I guess, it would of been embarrassing if we heard the sound of 2 blokes farting as confusion with the Commodore's exhaust noises.
