Love my R53 GP works which I've had since last July. Plan on doing a few track days in the spring and may make a few mods. I assume its best to get shot of the runflats.

I would stick with a MCS and mod it, the 18s kill the handling.

But they are a fun drive
Ive had a 200bhp mcs with standard suspension, a GP running 17s and a 240bhp MCS with meister r coilovers, whiteline rear arb, adjustable RCAs, etc etc. The GP was a far better car than the current MCS will ever be, handling was epic, short ratio box & diff fantastic. It was truly special.

The latest one is just a highly modified MCS - the mods to get it to the current spec are considerably more than the depreciation i had on the GP as well, so if you have £10k, just get the GP.
