I bought the V8 version and so far damn happy with it, I pondered about a TT as an alternative but the 2.5L capacity put me off when theres no boost especially in a 1.5 Tonne car! This wouldnt be a problem on the high boost but still.. So I stuck with buying a 4.0GT V8 in the base spec which is my pick of the bunch IMO.

No complaints with it at all, with my tune ups power would be around 275BHP or more (need to dyno it really I suspect at least 140rwkw would be surprised if it was lower!)

Ive timed it to 62mph and got in the lower to mid 6 seconds on the crap stock wheels with low grip, looking much forward to further tune ups hopefully into the high 5s one day. You never know... :-)

Still I recommend just test a few V8s and TTs and see what you like more - Go for the TT if you want big top end power for a decent cost.
