They seem mint to me. Possibly spoilt by the amount or people that drive them.
But you do get a lot of power for the money you pay.

No need, I have enough evidence from track days and seeing them run up the strip that they are completely over rated.

been in one, didn't think much of it. didn't even feel as fast as a 325i bimmer (not M3).
plus same sort of thing as Ojc, seen them going round Outlon park racing & also videos / results from strips speak for themselves...

no it's a normal crapy 2.0L which revs to 9000rpm and uses very short ratios to make it fast

its not a big engine
220bhp or so is very easy to get from it..... but in reality.... my 165bhp corsa was still faster..... high BHP, fuck all torque
just has a high BHP due to its rev limit
