Why have a 6 when a 10 is less than 37k?

Because this is a 6 with a 2.4litre 700bhp engine, sequential box, massive brakes and proper suspension, etc etc etc, rahter than a bog standard 10?

Dunno what its worth, but if anyone wanted to build a mega spec Evo like many seem to, youd save a fucking fortune just buying Shanes one here. Bet it cost that mad bastard about twice that to build, prob more.

Stav does this type of car/engine need proper maintance? Could this car do well in the Time Attack compared to say Warrens Escort Cosworth?

By maintanance i mean between rebuilds.

I saw this a week a go at the Bolton cruise, I knew of the car already but it looks exceptional in the flesh! The blue is very vibrant and the car sounds awesome!

I've sat in a different RC Developments car as someone I knew owned one and they are all top notch

Well worth the money IMO

nice car, but if I had 45k burning a hole in my pocket i personally would not be looking at an EVO. Its worth the money if your looking for a great spec evo though

Just change the rear lights, but yes, I would rather have this than a standard X.

sounds like a lot but wasnt yum supposedly up for 35k with 580ish bhp?

so this has another 100 bhp, 0.4L more, proper gearbox and a fair amount more work done to it plus its a newer car.

Sounds the absolute bollocks but who has 40-odd grand to spend on a car ffs?
Times like this I wish I was rich and temporarily insane.
