Does it feel noticeably quicker than the older VXR, or just feel better?

The power is delivered as it should be. Very smooth and torquey. Probs just how a stage 1/1.5 feels in terms of power.
It's stiffer and the steering is sharper but the suspension does not break your back

Shame the exhaust doesn't sound too good There's an arctic that goes around here all the time that sounds the tits. He's a bawbag though. Has the foot firmly to the floor until about 3k, then changes to get a pop or two

Dont get me wrong the exhaust is some good gear, Im quite sure a pre cat will bring out some effort a straight through and de-cat for constant pops and bangs but then you run the risk of it sounding farty

what you really need is a cage like the clios had fitted by motorsport vision, when MSV bought them for track day instructional stuff etc they needed a cage that would be approved, but that so it could be removed when the cars were sold with no visable trace
its a really clever system which uses the seat belt and set mounting points, yet no welding or cutting etc, KTEC racing now make a copy and IMO would be the bollocks for yours
also if you fit the cage you wont have a anti corrosion warrenty

The green looks much nicer on the website - how I would want it actually. Think I'd probably have been stuck between black and orange tbh.
