Today I bought...
Their reputation as rear end lively is massively overstated. The rear is very planted, you have to do something stupid like lift mid corner to provoke it. As long as you enter the corner with a balanced car and remember the throttle response is amazing, you'll have no issues. My biggest comment would be watch out for people rear ending you. The brakes are the best brakes ever. But aren't overassisted therefore require a lot more force than you're probably used to.
Congrats, nice purchase, wrong colour.

I've only driven a Carrera Cup car, but I'm guessing this isn't too far off, so my thoughts....
Massive, massive traction out of corners. Far more than you think and way more than the Exige. It's by far the biggest thing to get used to, and the cars great strength. It's also the key to going quickly in one and not getting overtaken by some oik in a Clio

However, if the back does let go properly, it's got one hell of a momentum, but as chilled says you have to really provoke it. Slow in fast out is always the way with these. You'll have a lot of fun.
