Lol!
Not really. I had a decent drive, but the harnesses just wouldn't be practical for me driving in and out of Birmingham, and I still prefer high reving N/A engines, although the Megane pulls like a train from so low down and never lets up, where I prefer a bit of screaming and more action at the top of the rev range. The low speed ride is harsh. Oh and there's no stereo. It's a serious weapon, but not for me. Now if they applied the same changes to the Clio, I'd be first in line.
Plus there's a credit crunch on, and I can't afford one. lol
they look awesome!
The last car I drove on the road with full harnesses was y0z2a's Cup. Once I'd gotten used to them today they were great, but at one point I needed to join a dual carriageway and really wanted to look over my shoulder, but instead had to rely on the wing mirror. I have a ticket thing I have to use to get into the car park for work, I'd never be able to reach it. Also, you can see how dirty the rear of a Megane gets, but due to the rear screen and side windows being polycarbonate you can't have a rear wiper!! I couldn't see a thing out the rear window, and you need to see cars disappearing in the rear view mirror. lol Plus surely a criminal could just cut the windows with a blade now!! Even easier than using a brick. While I'm picking faults, the tyres make a LOT of noise at low speeds, and you can hear any stone pinging on the underside of the car.
I've got huge respect for anyone who's hardcore enough to drive the R26.R every day as a daily driver. I could be getting old though! lol And for all it's faults, I expect on track or a good B road it's truly amazing. I still can't believe just how focused that car is. Someone at Renault has huge balls to have put that into production.
I know a few people who added harnesses to the Trophy, but just pulled them back out the way for road driving. Once you get used to it, being strapped in so tightly is pretty cool.
Unfortunately there's no plans for an R27.R, the timing of the R26.R is massively unlucky, with the credit crunch. I thought they had all sold, but they haven't.
Don't worry, the Cup won't be getting a spoiler, I can't be having my bodywork drilled.
