Takes big balls to track an RS A couple of our local club members have these, they say they are very, very uncomfortable to drive on the road for any period of time, so perhaps best suited to shorter track sessions.... I've been offered a drive of one before he sells it, probably should take up that offer. BTW what is the pricing on this car??

How bad are your roads? "Very, very uncomfortable" I feel is a tad of an overstatement. I drove a MK1 GT3 CS from QLD to Vic, via country (+ dirt) roads - wouldn't have it any other way.

Big call for a private sale… may live to regret that .. Looks like a super nice car but the market has softened all over. Sometime first offers are the best ones. Its not as if you will get moved 10-15k when you cant see it in the flesh without effort , occasionally people get swept up in the moment and wallet happy when they are in a show room ..for that extra 10k but not over the internet is my experience Top dollar cars sell at that price because of the accessibilty ..hence the CTS and Dutton benchmark prices and disbelief we all show when they close at high prices… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
