CSR260 Prices

Considering this - http://www.caterham.co.uk/assets/html/preowned/pre...

Does seem pricey but got a deal on race springs/dampers - pretty tempted... Gonna be used for mainly track work. Opinions?

260 will be huge fun, especially if you have the race dampers fitted as it'll be a little soft as standard.
I paid a little over for my car from CC but got a bit of a deal, the car will be well prepared and they will probably know the history and previous owners. Oh, and you'll get warranty. There are a few ropey CSR's around at the moment by all accounts so it's good piece of mind.
Dont know what you drive now but the CSR260 wont disappoint in the performance dept!!

CSR260 road manners....how does it differ from the dedion setup? does the IRS bring a bit more to the party? I have been looking at a CSR for the reasons of ride quality, I have now sold my dedion 7 R300 and I am itching for another 7.

HUGE difference. You can use much more of the power on offer more of the time due the IRS set up. Less fidgety and fussy around the straight ahead and more compliant over bad cambers and pot holes. Go for it!

Might be a little faster but I wonder whether this makes to the car less involving to drive. Quite a few mags came to this conclusion at first but they may not have had time to get to understand the car. Just wondering what the true owners view was.
