Garage List
RS... in white or blue though.

I read in Road and Track that part of the reason leaving it in FWD was to give the driver some involvement and some kick, as shown in the second video.

I can deal with torque steer all day; it's just massive understeer that I'd be trying to avoid in a FWD.

Is this one coming stateside? Might have to make an addition to my garage.

I only wish the RS would come here... My previous car was a ZX3... Loved it to death. Then I went out and tried an SVT... Amazing... Would love to have a go at the RS.

Would be a great tuner platform if they didn't ruin it by making it FWD...
