    I've got a 280 on my 854 and a 304 ECU, which is currently on loan to "Andyracer" on here.

    If you fancy a trip out to Stockport you can have a look at both.

    When I bought my 850 GLE 2.5 20v I thought, wow this is quick. After I bought my 850 T5 I thought the GLE was a slug. Now I have my RICA 850 R all I can say is - golly gosh! It will blow your mind - and is still completely pleasant to drive on a day to day basis but faster than weasel up a greased drainpipe whenever you wish...
