I'd like to compare one of these against my EP3, heard really good things about them from owners, especially the handling!

Nice. I think these look far better than their than the new/current turbo'd cars.

Seriously considered one when I was looking for a car. Ended up with its big brother (r26).

they look and sound like great cars and quite rapid. Only thing that put me off was they look a bit girly to me and I wanted a turbo for the tooning opportunities.

One of the downsides of the frenchies is the shocking build quality, mine has an astoundingly rattly interior. If you can look past this they are really fun and good value for money.

Any plans for the car? I used to own a 172 cup years ago but I've never driven a 197.

Have a completely standard red one as well that I use every now and then.

Quite nice to take it up through the gears as it loves to rev and really gets going at around 5k rpm. Makes quite a nice noise as standard too.

Have it up for sale at the minute but secretly hoping it doesn't sell as they're building a new track close to me in N. Ireland that I'd love to use it on.
