We all want one, but the question should really be "who's got £50k then?"
I doubt it's much better than a second hand Litchfield at half the price. Still, I'd happily have one.

400 bhp after they had to rain it in, was running just over 500 but cosworth were worried that normal dealers wouldn't be able to work on it.

30k for standard STI
10k for parts and development
10k for the badge
Would not say No but it would be a long way down the list if I had 50k to play with!
As above a secondhand T25 or an S204 and still enough in the bank for a FRS!

It might buy you a GTR but you won't be able to run it, not even on the 2k you save!
You seen how much the tyres cost for one of those GTR's!

R32 GTR in white, MMMmmm so sweet, with some nice mods. I never liked the R33 or the the R34. At least the R32 was all mechanical very little electronics to assist your driving. Also I like that ubderstated "could be a japnese Taxi" look about the R32. I had one and its the best car ive owned.
Thats a badass cosworth Impreza, looks sweet and the powers nice but much like I feel about the Audi R8, why have an R8 made by a manufacurer who has one of the most common brands of car on the roads today when the same money can buy you a Ferrari. Yes, known for their dodge build Quility and sometimes reliability issues but allways known for producing a drivers car.
That 50K can get you a lot, or it could get you a car which lets face it spends a lot of time doing circiuts of towns and burnouts in retail parks up and down the county. Controversal............. maybe, but its true. Not that that makes a difference to me, mates of mine have said in the past "nah not an impreza, too common" when looking to buy a new car, and I say "yeah, but why are they common?"
Those Cosworth Scoobs will still sell no bother, but not sure I would have one for the money.

Not much compared to a set of discs and pads all round

Running costs on the GTR are frightening. Great car but not for me thanks.
The CS400 seems to be taking an eternity to find it's way onto the streets. It's way overpriced IMHO and nothing like the value for money you would get with a Litchco car or the R205.

So the CS 400 is finally about to land. What a long long wait it has been.
There have been rumours that the car was held back due to "issues". Anyone know more ?
