      It acts in the same way as a rev counter. The closer you get to the rev limit the more dashes appear and eventually they flash I believe. Looks nice from my view 👍

    So to give some advice, I would spend the extra money and step into an 8R. It supercedes the 7/7.5 in most areas but in particular performance and handling. I agree the 8.5 is going to be too high a premium but I don't think there's much more offered over the 8R. Good luck with whatever you choose and cool video

    • @SamAustin
      @SamAustin День тому

      I often go back and forth with this over the last 7 years. Today I am in the same state that my car is great as it is in MK7 form. I love the unique quad front lights, the reduction of tech and a few neat features which sets it apart for me. I could see myself owning it for another 7 years no problem. Thank you for the advice and the positive feedback towards the video. Plenty more to exciting videos to come 👍

    • @sleepwalker31
      @sleepwalker31 День тому

      @SamAustin oh Just to clarify, I wasn't saying get rid of the mk7 I was however saying of you were looking to upgrade then the 8R would be a much smarter move than the 7.5. Keep the content coming

    Great video mate. About to pull a trigger on one here in Australia with the exact same spec and colour! How are you finding the power build up without the turbo? I’ve always ever owned turbo charged cars and I’m coming from an F87 BMW M2.

    • @SamAustin
      @SamAustin День тому

      Thank you for the positive feedback. The power build up is wonderful! I love the linear nature of the naturally aspirated engine and it sings too! A turbo car is more spikey once it hits a certain RPM for the turbo to kick in. They are likely faster and offer more torque delivery but this is one of the last old school sports cars. I love it! I can only recommend the car and many congrats should you go ahead with the GTS 981 🎉

      @SamAustin 3 дні тому

      It is a great question. My understanding is this was the case in the past but I am unsure if the collab is now present. It would be one to check with mountune and Ford to understand the warranty side of things. The packages which Mountune offer are great on the plus side 👍

Anyway awesome channel and very hard work you put in you have got yourself another subscriber and i hope your channel will seriously take off buddy and again thanks for the reply much appreciated 👍 hoping to buy 1 full spec in the not too distant future if they are still making them by then that is.

    Sam I thought the higher tax rate was for cars £40,000.00 plus at manufacturer and the base golf gti is under 40 k so the higher tax rate comes in if you put options on it. I built one it came in at 47 k better to go for the golf R.
