The V8 is able to reach 760hp reliably (to some reliably means 150K miles, to me it's more like 50K miles)

 

While I agree that the cost is certainly not justifiable (I have close to 50K into the car besides the 108K purchase price), I like it, as stupid as it may sound, anyone can just buy an SVR, I am proud that I was able to dedicate some of the time that I would otherwise be bored out of my mind due to retirement to this project instead.Keeps me busy doing what I truly enjoy. Contrary to what you mentioned, the car is very good on the road, I just hit 10k miles this past weekend. The block was deck honed,

 

That is the most incredible and convincing argument you have made.
You would be my ideal customer.
Folks dont realize what it cost to buy back passion and enthusiasm, and how priceless and inexpensive it is in the scheme of things.
Indeed, a SVR (to you) would be worthless in comparison.

Change your wheels, sure it looks tuff in person, but just looks like a dark blob on your publicity photo.

 

Sounds like a great car!
I'm confused, tho (still :-)). You say time it until it hits 3rd gear for 0-60 timing. I have a Base, in which 2nd gear goes to 55 mph, and I understand that the S is geared shorter than the Base. Is yours a manual, or have you played with gearing, or...

BTW, what tires did you use to get 0-60 in 3.1? Must had some grip!

 

Unfortunately, it hits 60 in 3rd gear almost instantly when it kicks in. I think that Jaguar should have kept the taller gearing for the car. My car's rev limiter is at 7100rpm.
I have AWD and it helps greatly at launch. I am testing the Falken FK510 right now and I am impressed, especially on the wet. I am a PZero fan otherwise

 

Actually, neither of these things are true. Q&C, I'm not sure where that information came from but it certainly didn't come from us, we would never claim to have taught Viezu anything. For one, I'm not a file writer or tuner so I haven't taught anybody anything. Chris does all our files and he's a factory trained JLR, Aston, & Bentley technician as well, plus all the tuning stuff.

Going back to over 6 or 7 years ago, we were a client of Viezu, before we got into doing all our own tuning in house. We were not happy with a number of aspects of the products we were receiving, and a couple of particularly difficult instances switched us off from that relationship completely.

However, it's 100% untrue that it is 'the other way around.' We never learned one iota of information about how to tune a car from Viezu, nor would I have any interest in 'learning' anything from them, based on my past dealings with them.

Be very careful what you say. The insinuation that Viezu taught VelocityAP is a very risky statement to make and most likely Libellous.

No interest in this blowing up again and I wish you guys well and no ill will, but please refrain from posting statements like this about our company.

 

Pretty ironic that you speak of libel... Unlike you I will skip the legal threats as this thread is about picking a tune and if you take a moment to read I was a gentleman endorsing both all while I am a competitor so this speaks volumes about the differences between the two companies and owners....

Besides you admitted yourself: "Going back to over 6 or 7 years ago, we were a client of Viezu, before we got into doing all our own tuning in house"... making what I wrote accurate by your own admission.

 

 

Did I ever mention who was teaching whom? No, not me. Perhaps the one that said that is the one you want to correct. I also never said I had a problem with their stuff...I never used it and if you read around I have suggested using their downpipes etc.

 

What reaction do you anticipate in response to threats of frivolous litigation? Way to throw away the position of being the reasonable party.

 

Skip? Or you mean refrain from making them again. Let's not forget that you threatened to sue me for Libel just a few weeks ago.

 

Looks like this thread has run it's course.
