Allegedly one was dropped off a transporter by Renault as well and written off.

Yea, hence the names, 230 and 255 But if you race two side by side from a standing start there would be nothing in it in reality heh. 255 is a much safer handler and has more toys. It's also more lardy. Pays your money. I'm not listing the Ph1 vs Ph2 comparison again as it's been done to death

Some good info here for you.

Build your own, you just need a Laguna v6 a 172 cup and some fibre glass matting.

You do us 230 boys proud dan, those extra toys and the safe handling is for those show offs, we the real men

I 'convoyed' with 2 255s back from FCS hehe - there was nothing in it in a straight line - but this was all dual carriageway stuff and the speed didn't get to really, really high figures... much Allegedly. There was no real cornering comparisons to speak of really. According to reviews the 255 will understeer a lot more than the 230 at the limit, but I suppose you'll probably never get to the limits properly on a road without ending in a ditch heh. Really should get myself to an airfield day and see where the limits are exactly. And as for the toys, well, cruise might be handy on long runs, although the Vee isn't really a long distance cruiser hehe. And climate, a lot of people like I guess - I always turn it off and use it as manual air when I'm in cars with climate though as I'm not really a fan hehe.

Clarkson said the wheel base is to short to compensate the rear wheel drive, i personally think hes full of s**t

 

[Scaggeh]

"Clarkson said.." is never a good way to start a sentence
