Nice, not that fast for what it is but nippy nevertheless. Would rather a Corrado Storm/Highline though

How not that fast though?? Any figures??
Am I right in thinking the highline has more power
Corrado storm would cost much more Marcus

do not under estimate these cars
Me and my mate (s3) raced our mates VR6 and they are a quick car and once over 100+ they really get into their stride
Not a slow car
My mate has the exact same colour as the one posted above

Once rolling they are yeah. Statistically, they're about the same as a 2.0 Corsa for the most part.
