is there really a big difference?
Yeah. My GT would cost me £600 @ 21, 3NCD and 6pts this year. Because of my coilovers it costs me £800 this year. Last year it was £700 but ive got an extra years NCD and they put the price up. Next quote up was £1000.
An R27 would cost me about £1300, FN2 CTR £1500, and tbh im not willing to pay prices like that.
Also, £11,500 for a stock GT with £500 malta paintwork was what i paid, brand new, 59 plate.
200 Cup retails at £15,500, thats an extra £4,000, which i didnt have, and what do i get? f**king poverty spec bog standard car with a 200bhp engine, good chassis and suspension, with no luxuries what so ever. Great. Or a supposedly s**t slow GT with a few toys as standard which will be a bit of a laugh, not too much to insure, cheaper to run and still fun to belt around twisty country roads, especially with coilovers. I also despise the looks of the 200. I know my GT isnt stunning but f**k me the 200 is butt ugly.
It was my desicion. I know people cant seem to understand why i bought a brand new 1.6 GT over a second hand 182 or even a 197 too, but I have my reasons.
Oh and 42mpg is as low as it gets. It builds up to about 50mpg. Im sure the 2L's will do that too.
Same.
