It says in the ad that he used to have a RS500 so you would have hoped he was used to RWD.





There is a blue supercharged VXR8 up for sale now as well

Prices are going up I think, not many for sale all adds to the increase, really good spec motor and has been done very well, bargain I think with very low mileage and a known car with all the mods done and sorted, I know you can buy a VXR8 standard car for say 15k but if you want a car that has had 20k spent on it then 25k is a bargain with under 8k miles, definitely the best option on the market in my opinion.

That explains it then lol, it was another reason for me getting the GTS as my other car is RWD.
