The cheap looking rear spoiler has the appearance of a Halfords 'off the shelf' add on, a bit like the RS Focus. Also £50k plus for 312/318 ?? They're having a laugh.

Perhaps acceleration, but am not sure it will hold the road and brake better.
They have done some mad stuff with the suspension on the S206 and the brakes which are the same as my R205 stop just as quick if not quicker then the alcons you have. I have a set of alcons all around on my S204.

I remember

The seats are amazing, but there beginning to **** me of a little. I have a back injury from my grappling days as a teenager and they seem to reignite the injury because am squished in.

You really need to have a 32 waist or below to fit in these seats.

They mentioned 2 reasons why they wont be exporting it, but there is a 3rd reason... they don't want you to have it!

... and, I'll swap seats with you Immy!

Looks impressive, except for the power figures, I'm sure they could squeeze more than that out of it

But its a road car. The spoilers ok on a car like that when driven round a track but on the road what exactly are you saying about yourself? It looks rubbish.

It's a "Road Legal" car.... there is a vast difference between that and a "Road Car".

It's no different to a Porsche GT3.

People who predominantly buy these types of cars don't use them with the intention of going down to the shops to buy a carton of milk.

That's what I'm saying.

A lot of people spend serrious money building their cars for their love of track days. This has been done by BMW so track day,s can be enjoyed staight away. Yes it,s very expensive and i for one would rather buy a GT3RS over it any day.
As for the S206 yes subaru could of given it more power but look how it sold out straight away, compared to the high powered CS400 that nobody wants..
