If I get some time today I'll see if I can get some numbers for you.

Thanks NZ_M3

I would appreciate that....

I just used the calculator quickly to show the maximum speed difference - as you can see from the chart below - quite a big margin of difference:



When I get some more time I'll sit down and try and make sense of it all.
(theoratical speeds are in miles per hour)

I'm actually running 275/30/19 tyres, i guess that will change things...

Interesting to hear about not very good in Auto mode, i'll let you know what i find.

Cheers fella - looking forward to your first impressions.

What is this so-called 'Auto mode' you all talk of though? Does the CSL even have one? I thought that 'Auto' was the exclusive preserve of old men in their Volvo/Mercedes cruising/bimbling barges...!

although i have to say Auto mode 5/6 on track is pretty good, you should try it, i nearly keep getting overtaken by someone who uses it all the time!
