John, on paper I think its the same the M5 is 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and the WR1 is very similiar IIRC, Quarter mile in the WR1 is about 13.2 ? M5 is about 12.6

Robin, I would be absolutley amazed if its a better car than an M5 how many times have Jag and Audi and Merc tried to take down the King of saloon car's the bench mark ? Many many times, and they have never managed it, and I dont think they have done it hear.

However it sounds one hell of a car, I would never buy it though because it just doesnt carry any credibility with it for me, its an old mans car, more a limo than a sports saloon to me atleast.

I shall be following the press and reviews with interest :D

Bro, I dont think you should sell the WR1 for anything ! Keep it, enjoy it and just expand your fleet :D

If I did a lot of motorway miles id be looking at an M3/M5/RS4 for comfort. Luckily I dont do a lot of motorway driving and I live on the doorstep to the yorkshire dales so the scoob is the ideal car for me. Both great cars though. So when ya gonna take me for a spin in it? bbigman2000? ;)
