Xkr-s gt review
Chris Harris test drives the XKR-S GT:
|
Thanks for posting. I really enjoy chris Harris' reviews.
|
Chris Harris is great... thanks for putting that up here. Is it ever just dry in England? Nice catch at 6:10 holy cow.
|
Looks like loads of fun for an experienced driver. It was, not surprisingly, skating in the wet but, more surprisingly it was nearly getting away from the driver at 6:10+ in the dry too. 7:40 at the Ring is rather decent for this big, heavy car. I could definitely live with one...
thanks for posting, Albert |
7:40 is a pretty good time for a gt car. The Xkr-s does 7:50, so 10 sec faster is quite a bit, but the GT has R compound tires, which may account for 3-5 sec (just guessing there). My old 996 turbo did 7:56, so it shows how far technology has come (and hp) since 2001.

You'll be glad to know Chris Harris personal car is a maroon XKR coupe. One of his videos shows that he hates to wash his cars.
I like him too! |

^ thanks!

Thx for posting...
He is by fare, in my humble oponion, the best current car reviewer... love watching his vids... looks a bit like Freddy Mercury though...:) |
Yes, the review was good. This was the review that sold me on the XKR, though (if I needed any selling)
|
Agreed!!!!! Love the 175!!
|
The reviewer said that the 175 has a higher top end, presumably just due to a modification of the electronic limiter, also different suspension tuning, but not sure what else. The S and S-GT versions have a retuned engine to up the HP to 550. Is this done on the 175? Hard for me to keep track of the subtle and not so subtle differences between stock XKR, 175, S and S-GT.

I like seeing the child seat in the back of Chris Harrison's xkr. Lol

Yep, a nice review... the GT really is something else.
