309 GTi6?

I know of a couple, but they're swaps. You sure it's not 306 GTi6?

Also pretty sure this was an online poll, and there was a clear winner...

[Black Frog]

It's the one with the 6 speed box I believe. And yep, Car did do an online poll a couple of months ago..this is however a group road test, on road and judging by the preview pictures, on track as well..

My money's on the R26.R.

when is this mag out?

[Black Frog]

Actually just received my copy - rather disappointing as they ducked a direct comparison between all models and just ranked the front engined, front wheel drive models...bit of a cop out...and torquemada was wrong...BF

Seriously not 4wd!!!! So why is it so much more expensive than the ST??

Sorry I should rephrase my earlier post:

"Is anyone surprised the RS won?"

Wonder where all the Ford haters have gone today anyway?
