WRONG!! The transmission certainly isn't Bombproof. Gary's 20,000 mile 51 plate car has had to have a Gearbox rebuild and is on the second competition clutch is around 18 months. The first was an Exedy Hyper Single (worth around £800) and only lasted for 3000 miles the current one is a Hyper Twin and cost around £1200.

No-one is disputing what is the 'better' car, but its neat when an 18 year-old Ford that rolled out of the factory with 132bhp can waste a 350bhp car such as an Evo. It's just for novelty value. As said originally, I wouldn't race him for log books around any track in the UK, however, I would have a wager if we were to race down a runway.
