Driver was an optional extra? Sounds like all that Topgear type hype "they drive themselfs" They are more RWD than any 4WD car and have no other handling extras that a GTST hasnt, so dont really get how you feel an "optional extra"

My mates got a 500bhp RWD R32 and even tho its got silky smooth power delivery, a drag spec rear diff and suspension (TopSecret japan built drag car), it still has horrendous traction, going nowhere till 3rd or usually 4th in the dry, and nowhere till 5th in the wet, even on a 3ish mile race round bristol ring road in the rain we got caned by std civic typeRs even tho we got twice the power just cause they had traction

I was sick of billy-no-traction in the Cossie, thats only reason i got rid.

Sounds like a good car, lightweight boot n bonets not a bad plan.

A 25/30 turbo seems a bit small to bother upgrading to tho 3037S is smallest I ever seen bothered with
