Cheers Carl, appreciate that mate.
Would love to see some of your dc5 track videos, are they on YouTube?
To be honest I’d imagine a dc5 may not be as quick in a straight line, but as it’s lighter I’m sure it’ll handle better and probably carry more corner speed, personally I like being quick in corners as opposed to having massive bhp and just being quicker then everyone on the straights only but then holding everyone up as soon as you hit a corner. Obviously there’s fuckers out there that have both
My mini r53 I had sounds similar to a vtec where as you have to keep it in that power band otherwise it feels gutless, but it was great fun, that engine seemed bulletproof. The focus on the other hand has so much torque you never need to go lower then 3rd gear on any corner on track.
I know some people will be put off a car that gets tracked but with my lot and I’m sure alot of trackdayer’s are the same, these cars tend to be over serviced to try prevent any issues so I wouldn’t have an issue with buying a car that’s been tracked as long as it had some history with it.
