Looks very nice. I wouldn’t want the matte paint even though I like it, for reasons I’ve mentioned before elsewhere on the forum. I could live without the side graphics too. Apart from that, it’s great and it’s very pleasing to see a set of alloys on a performance car that aren’t diamond cut

I do think I’ll need to be sitting down though when the price is revealed

Looks great and will be a real weapon i should imagine and reminds me of the Clubsport s from a few years ago ..... I expect its expensive but should hold its money down the line.... I think I might nick the copper tailpipe idea and get mine booked in lol , looks like the same brake set up but would Interesting to see if its the same shocks but just different springs.....unless the suspension is epic I expect its to harsh for the rd but let's see...
Well whilst I would not buy a new car, with regards to the power output my MK3 has more power than this motor and I love/enjoy it.
I would agree on the road most of the time you don't use the power simply because you don't want the police to stop you and give you a fine / points on the license. However out on the track (where mine spends most of its time) the front wheel drive does very well against the 4wheel drive motors. And on the odd occasion I need to get out of the way quickly it does the job, also (as against the big audi's) I get decent fuel economy when using it as a normal car so thats a win win for me.
Less weight against the 4 wheel drive, but these cars are Drivers cars, you have to handle the power its not just put your foot on the floor and go.
Manuals I am afraid are a dying breed but i use the paddles on the track and it feels like a manual without the heavy clutch to handle the power.
But that is my opinion and there is no one size fits all in regards to this sort of issue.

I quite like that idea as well.
Just wondering if the TCR will be blighted by the fake four pipe set up as per the MK4.5 VZ3. It really irks me and I'm designing a work around so that, at the very least, you can't see the floor at certain angles though the tailpipes.
Unfortunately, with four years three months of warranty remaining an aftermarket exhaust, backbox at least, isn't possible.
Id say its the same looking at the copper tail pipes.....
Just noticed that the racing seatbelts look like they are offering three point and shoulder straps are attached to the floor.
I am no expert in these matters but my understanding was safe installation of a harness requires the shoulder straps to be level (never higher) or up to -40 (although -20 degree in some motor sport rules) degree angle as this sort of setup can cause damage to the occupant in a serious accident.
I also don't like the 3 point harness as everytime I went to look at them (online, shop and garage) the experts told me they are not as safe as 5 or 6 point one's
But very happy to be wrong.
