Anyone any first hand experience of these? Looking at a phase 1
Thanks
they sound good! but dont think id want to own one!
A friend of mine has a Series 1. It can be EXCITING in the wet being short wheel base with that big engine. Series 2 is slightly less exciting!
Driving it back to back with my GTM Libra VVC 170bhp there was very little in it in terms of performance though the Libra was better in the twisty
bits being 2/3 the weight.
I think their reputation as being lairy comes from people driving them like a FWD. Drive it properly and they are brilliant! I would love to have one.
I heard the word Brutal used in a chat wit an owner a few years ago. He said that they could break tracktion, I think they had one on Top Gear and it had the arse ragged off it by Clarkson If I recall correctly he loved the experience
Ok thanks,
Currently I'm running a vx220 but wanted something more civil but still rare and fun
I know the same car as Roger. Probably not as nimble as the VX220. Wasn't close to the Fury when going for it but respectably quick and nice rarity value... Drifts very nicely as well.

Don't suppose either of your friends still have them and would be willing to let me have a look at one and a chat about them?
There rare and the one I want to buy is 6 hours away that the problem
And being as nimble as the vx doesn't bother me got the kit car for that!
The one I drove doesn't. The other I think he does but lives in Croyden.
I have wondered for a while why I dont see more of these at track days. 182 but with more power and RWD sounds like a weapon. The chasis is well proven and Renault can build engines. I would of thought these would be good cars on track. Especially if some weight was lost.
