Good Points

- Amazing performance for very little $$$$
- Very easy to modify and extract massive power
- Faster than most mid range and some upper range falcons and holdens after just a few mods - exhaust, air filter
- Awesome cornering
- Very light car, would recommend SPEC S for better performance (only 1240 KG without all the extras of a SPEC R)
- 0 to 100 in under 5 seconds after these basic mods - turbo back exhaust system, air filter, intercooler, Apexi Boost Controller (under $3500 spent).
- Great looks, an absolute head turner


Bad Points

- a little thirsty (will travel on average 400 km if constantly on high revs)
- loud engine
- 1 second lag before takeoff, very annoying
- deadly in the wet, guaranteed to spin out if not cautious!!...
- Premium petrol only -> $$$$...
- rear wheel drive only -> power in excess of 180kw atw is pointless as you will have little control of the car...will fishtail at takeoff if not cautious


General Comments

Highly recommended, great sports car!
After spending under $3500 on a turbo back exhaust system, air filter, intercooler, Apexi Boost Controller I achieved 175 kw at the wheels...that translates to around 215 KW on the fly and under 5 seconds 0 to 100 km..she creams most standard Falcons, Holdens, rx8s, 350zs etc...
Don't do anything drastic to the exterior, apart from OK wheels its stunning as it is...you will be a cop magnet! I would recommend getting nice rims and lowering the car a little.
