Useful mass saving over standard, by ditching the luxuries & FREDs too!

I must have become accustomed to your writing Nick, as soon as I saw the comment on PH from 'Black S2K' I knew who was behind the moniker....

The car? Nice, but how much do they want for one?

Trouble is Mark, they have set a high price benchmark for the lukewarm one and don't have much space to move! I think any hot version is going to be 10k more. The one above, i'd dread to think.

The article doesn't mention how they got the 400 bhp. I'd cope SC rather than turbo.

It's sometimes funny to see the usual suspects turning up in other places!

Hopefully they are just using this one to cover some costs, and future models may come down a bit.

Risky strategy in these times though. Esp when most will opt for a 911 or GTR in it's place. Rightly or wrongly.
