Great pictures Gene! Looks awesome. I see Mr Lapworth in the background smiling too 
Reano - may well be one report but its damn conclusive. Whatever the RB320 turned out to be, people would always want something more. Someone out there will be asking why it wasn't a Spec C or a T20... As I said, without a twin scroll getting much more than 320 is very difficult as a factory spec car, due to cats / emissions etc.
Just enjoy it, looks pretty special to me and dont get hung up on the numbers

I have to say it looks first class. They have even made an effort to smarten up the interior. The whole Richard Burns story makes me very sad so it is nice to see a final tribute to him. The price, however, does look a little shaky. As for residuals, when you come to sell your Newage STI stop and think how many months you had to work to earn the money to pay for the depreciation. Over two or three years you could have afforded a much more expensive car with better residuals.

Looks the dogs. Thought about ordering one long and hard and after sitting in the main dealers at the weekend the depreciation value tipped the balance (plus £30k).
So I brought the WR1 on the forecourt instead...
Yipeeee Im back after a year of selling my my00 PPP.
Pick it up Saturday. Maybe 2-3 years time a 320 is plausable.
RIP Richard Burns.

Also better residuals in percentage terms doesn't really help if it costs a lot more to buy in the first place.... all I'm interested in is performance for the money I'm going to lose
How about a SPEC C TYPE RA,should hold it's value really well,it has only dropped a grand in a year 
Will out perform the rb320,m3 and lancer evo with ease.
Theres only 3 in the country.
check out my stocklist Performance Centre Manchester

You'll find it much easier to sell an import especially the spec c and all major insurers will quote for jap cars.

? I referred to the 'whole' package but anyway wouldn't mind one of these in maybe 3 years but by then I think I may be turned to the dark side of the Evo X.
