Now I didnt watch this series but I knew they used a C5. Looks awesome but your not really getting the full benefit of the car with a stripped out interior are you. Definitely track days only for this one!

Hmmmm... No thanks

Didn't this blow the gearbox?

Anyway, I'd buy it and then break it as thats the only way you'd make your money back!

PS Loved the bit in the ad - "the interior ripped out to make it ultra lightweight" - LOLOLOLOL - plus, using the words "ripped out" in an advert

knock 10k of it and i think we might be in the ball park

Ripped out plastic dash parts and carbon / plastic inlays vs. Steel roll cage hmmm.

I though it was a 1:18 model at first glance.

Then I thought it was an Allroad.

Now I just think it's overpriced junk.

even worse, I'm pretty sure this was a clean plus model in its past life

600bhp?! LOL no. not that car. Not even with the nos as it just makes the box slip as we saw in the program.
Apparently uprated wheels brakes and tyres too, even though they are all standard. Bloody idiots!

I've had mine on track a few times... they don't do too well lol. It manges ok on the nurburgring but goodwood and silverstone were a bit of a fail! (Although i had people coming up and telling me how good it sounded lol)
Edit: to elaborate on that, they're just faarrrr too heavy so you put it into a tight bend and it just wants to slide, which is amusing as hell until you see the tyres!!

Yeah, I meant that's all its relegated to now. No days out with a family in tow or the dogs. I have seen a couple of your charity track day vids Si and I know I won't be going near one unless I want a new set of brakes and tyres, not that its anything to do with your driving it just not engineered for that. Its a real shame that this car will probably now get broken.

But it's got an injector seat!!!! I've seen the red switch!!! Surely it's an injector seat! It is isn't it?

Yeah, I hear what you're saying. Poor car Has no purpose now.

I wonder how much weight was saved. The MTM club sport was quite "light" IIRC. If you could remove 300 kg from the RS6 then you'd be in M3 e46 territory weight wise and it might be amusing on the track. I can't see it getting anywhere near 300kg though.

Still looks like a shed though.

Would still get lapped by the Beemer.

Quote of the month. A beautiful mixture of facts, first impressions and nuance.

This sold very recently, for the £24995 asking price!...
