Lee,
But it makes sense though.

Oranoco,

If you have the better power to weight then it dont matter mate what it is you drive mate ......... unless as you say, you approach a corner!

Doctay,
I really dont understand people that say they are expensive..... do you mean to buy or to maintain? Sure they can be expensive to buy, but that is only the case if you cant afford it! To run...... no more expensive than a cossie nowadays. If your bottom end rumbles (which was a problem on some of the earlier ones), you can replace it with a brand new 2.5ltr bottom end for about £1500! Tuning bits are also as expensive/resonable as comparative cossie bits. You just have to know where to go as there are so many more people supplying and dealing in parts nowadays...... the market has now exploded and matured so prices have been slashed to what they used to be.
