Chip, i agree and disagree if that makes sense..

yes what Mark and co have done with/to Rods saff is a great achievement, but where and how could 745/575lb/ft really be used as a road car?? i'm pretty sure it'd be a pig to drive, i'm not talking about lag either, just general power terms.
I've always thought a PROPER stage 3 cossie is just dead on for a road car imo, nice strong 360/360 is a good package and tbh there's not that many cars that'd trouble you, Evos, odd scooby etc.
Just my 2 penneth..
