Would I lose my shirt on this GT in 9 months time ?

For sure. Need to keep an eye on private for sale ads to see how they compare to the independent dealers. I assume the likes of pistonheads and auto trader show the most ads for GT's ?

Re speed etc, not too worried about it. Much rather a car with some drama at legal speeds, which this cars seems to have in abundance

Definitely ... You have nailed it. Drama at low speeds.

Again I have another car for high speed and to lose my license.

Where are you based? I would love to see and experience your xbow as I am considering one.

The thing I loved about the Mc was that it wasn't a license loser.

Frankly, after an Atom and Xbow everything (except - few HyperCars) will feel slow.

You can poodle around at 30 with the exhaust rebounding off everything, enjoying downshifts etc and it sounds like you're doing 100+. Totally addictive.

^^^ What Wattie said. 'cept the bit about not being a license-loser. It's no Xbow or hypercar but it's plenty quick enough. That said, it was the sound that sold it to me rather than the performance. There are plenty of faster cars for less money but they don't compare in terms of feel-good factor.

Sounds perfect.

Takes a special car to make you smile at 30mph. Had a 911 GT3 which was great when "on it" but left me cold at normal speeds. Last car was a Lotus Evora S which managed to still feel special at low speeds.

Ah bugger may pop out to local dealer for a browse
