Very nice looking example you have there my freind, still undecided which I prefer in the RC's 16 or 17's?!?!

When its parked near the G60, the RC's look much bigger than Design 90 16's for some reason!

Ohhhh very nice.

 

So I am interested how you think it compares to you old g60.

 

I am thinking of getting a vr6 after selling my G60 (OPENS CAN OF WORMS)

It feels/drives completely different to the G60, but then its on a better suspension kit. It's alot smoother to drive whereas the G60's power was very jerky, off-on. There's not as much low down torque as a chipped/pullied G60 so you have to drive it differently, but it makes up for that higher up the rev range, the engine sound at 4000rpm plus is fantastic even with a quiet magnex exhaust!

 

Getting back in the G60 now is like getting into a go-kart, it does feel a bit lighter & more chuckable in tight corners but I prefer the VR overall.

 

All I can say Is go and test drive one!
