Why not have a word with Litchfields. They must know who insures the Type25.

Every time I see a test of the spec c it wipes the floor with everything (even Evo's which surprises me!).

Doubt much will change in lardy blob eye company

Skoobidude, friends in high places

Having re-read the whole article, not just the stats, the Type 25 is really the best. The WR1 is almost humiliated by the company. Let's face it, it is just a standard UK STi PPP with some aftermarket options thrown on and the DCCD-A. They really should have used a JDM STi (better engine and twin scroll) as the base and done more with the handling than Prodrive springs. The T25 has benefited from many hours of R&D at Powerstation (we all know how good they are) and has a fully adjustable set-up. The WR1 is good, and very nice, but it seems no more than a dealer special to boost sales by adding a few quids worth of toys. The T25 on the other hand looks to have been developed as a labour of love, with a true purpose at the end which has been achieved.

My 2p.
