of this today
By far the fastest thing i've ever driven.
Gets to 3k rpm then just pulls and pulls.
Some fancy clutch on it, again never driven a car with anything but a standard clutch, I was expecting it to slip or something between gears but it just bangs on as soon as you move your foot and starts pulling again.
I'm not the biggest fan of jap crap but the smiles per £ ratio is amazingly high.

It's running about 340bhp, I couldn't tell you the spec but it's quite good iirc.
It's got racelogic traction control, which I only know because it's got a wee display on the dash

is it not a bit worrying when the dashboard informs you that youve been to the toilet?

I'd probably have been to the toilet if it didn't have the traction tbh.

We passed another 200 when we had that out today, he says he can never find another one of them, I can't remember seeing many about here either.

I always wanted one of them till i had a go of one round Elvington Airfield a few years ago. Had fancy coilovers and similar power but still felt like a bit of a barge. Prob just crap setup on suspension but was still dissapointing. Hell of a lot of car for the money these days though

He went a blast with an n/a vx220, dc2 and a 911(gt3 i think) and said he couldn't keep up with them, the vx would handle much better I think.
I was just trying to keep it straight today, didn't go near a corner.
