I recently got in a 200 and it felt like a much better built vehicle.
The down-side was that on track, the refinement made it feel slower than the Mk2. I'm sure this wasn't the case in reality. In short, it FELT like a much more grown-up car.
The more I play, the more I realise that it's far, far deeper and more rewarding than CoD...
Something I noticed earlier, whilst playing hardcore mode is that it seems more of a free for all and people seem less inclined to work as a team. Shame.

My issue is that the f*cking nut only has thread at the top of it - the threads on OE dampers are about 1cm too short!
Arghhhh!!

I've had no adverse effects on road or track as a result!
As has been said, rears do f*ck all...

All this balls about how it could have been better with:
- Unique paint (LOL)
- Better Back seats (LOL)
- Black seat belts (ROFL)
- Better suspension
- Xenons
- Different spoiler
- etc.
With all of the above, except the suspension comment, it wouldn't have been 'dynamically' better. It was £12k...
