I needed a closed face for use with the Mono. Going to sell my Stand21 Ivos Double-Duty, which is great but wanted integrated coms/hydration.
Of course you got the zero......dammit out of my W-2 range

Cup is still cheaper
Cup is not cheaper then 3.8RS and 4.0RS remains to be seen.
But maybe the CUP lets you pleasure the steering wheel less and you keep hitting walls on half worn exploding slicks. At least you will be safe.

If you have an RS 4.0, there's no way your pride of ownership comes from its resale value ... unless you're an ***-clown ... which brings me back to my first point ...

What's the current import regulations and private vehicle tariff law?

It used to be 100% (give or take) ... you know ... to protect the local Aussie industry for building and selling high performance rear-engined cars ... um ... Giacottalo ... that's a major employer in the auto industry still, right? ... whoops ... mid-engine ... anyway ... just a little gallows humor from a fellow "why?!" import sports car enthusiast ...

Last I checked there were loopholes for owning a car overseas long enough before bringing it home as a private vehicle, them some registration nonsense like "LEFT HAND VEHICLE" stickers on the windows. Seems to me, careful study of the letter of the law could uncover ways to get interesting track cars with limited road use.

haven't checked it at all lately, as it's not really viable.
easier to move to the car, then move the car to you.
