Neutral Newbie

According to SE at Regent, it will be brought in to replace the ST. Same engine as the ST, 2.5L, but instead of producing 225bhp, it will instead be tuned to produce 300bhp, if I'm not mistaken. Either 300 or 280... fuel consumption is another issue... :) will be priced around the GTI price range...

This kinda car has to come with a Manual, IMHO.

Just like the Civic Type-R (standard), Mazda MX-5 (option), Mini Cooper S (option), Nissan 350Z (option) and the Renault Clio Sport R27 (standard). Nothing less.

 

One of the reasons why the R32 was struck out of my list for consideration - even though a DSG is the closest thing to an automated manual ... but it just cannot do proper downshift blips as a manual could - cos after all, DSG is still sequential.

 

Too bad too, for the VW Golf GTi (though VAG did carry manuals when it was first launched) ... now gotta go to PI.

 

I guess there would still be manual die-hards and no end to this argument.

Supercharged

you only have 3A license ah? tongue.gif

 

although Ford has got a new twin-clutch trans but currently only mated to diesel engine.

 

RS is for the hardcore, almost a street-legal track car, so don't expect auto.
