Indeed, I had .2GT3RS prior to the 4 and IMO the 4.0 kicks way way better than the 3.8

I couldn't tell the 4.0 was that much more potent when I have been on the track with them.

If you blind fold me in the passenger seat I would be hard pressed to tell the difference, but when I got back into the 3.8, it was like it just wouldn't go. Imagine the power difference with AC on and a 100f humid day VS no AC on a 30F day...

If you want to be an ******* in DE and park it in the corners you can do this with 200cc

Trakcar your in-car system is just amazing. What an incredible way to see where you are doing what when you review the video.

all the best...

Many people ask to help out on the shoots. Mooty I think what your seeing is a shadow. I'm always looking to stay busy.

check out Instagram joecoonanphoto

I do think the 3.8RS is a keeper.
