    Better than any GT in every way imaginable.

    They have one of the best 6 speed gearboxes ever made. Still competative with the current crop of hot-hatches, despite being N/A. Handle like a dream. Revvy engine which is good fun. Faster than a SEB4 GT >100mph, faster than a SEB2 GT full stop. Put a supercharger on one, and Pulsar's go backwards Put a turbo on one and Ferrari's go backwards.

    Future hot-hatch hall of famer

    Re-read, the symbol means past 100mph

    See the picture in the centre of my sig anyway...

    Besides, you're comparing a modded car vs a standard. I'm sure a Civic like Barry's with a K-Pro and a few other mods (running 225/230hp) will out run a SEB4 from the start line. F/I, forget about it

    No, not reversing.. but they go backwards so fast it would be an easy observational mistake to make, thinking that it was stuck in reverse.

    Jog on back to your chocolate gearbox anyway. He wanted opinions on CTR's, and since you don't own one - how can you comment?

    because i had one for a week after selling the punto to potter around in. It did seem alot quicker compared to my seb0. If it come with a turbo it would be spot on but i cant stand n/a,more of a turbo person now
