General Comments
I have owned M3's, Audi Quattro Turbo, Integrales and a Mercedes Cosworth but still I had to get a GT Turbo as had great momories of a friends car.
It has lived up to expectations but was very hard to find a decent Raider edition so found one with good engine and completely restored the car meticulously and was worth the time and effort. I have the car as standard now and is so rewarding to drive even though does take a little effort with an up rated clutch and no power steering.
Sum it up: Great and most fun car for the money! I have had great fun from Lancia Delta Integrales and the Gt Turbo also is as much fun in its own way.
Oh yeah and once u have a decent sorted one then they are very reliable! Its a matter of maintenance.
