Weight saving is 120kg without the exhaust.
Plastic rear windows, different shocks and springs, different wheels, carbon bucket seats, all insulation stripped, driver airbag only, different spoiler, manual mirrors, no Xeons.
There is always going to the the argument of "why not mod a R26" coz it's not the same as owning something that was purposefully built that way from factory.
Same argument as a mapped Evo MR340 vs FQ400 back in the day.
Or a M3 modded to be the same as a CSL.
Add the fact that I have never seen one, only 70 uk examples left, they keep getting deported to other country's, I have something unique and absolute hoot to drive, more fun than my standard Evo ;-)
Pretty sure I won't lose a penny either....
