    What do you prefer with the older ones to the newer ones.... curious as I have a p2 and never been in any others.
    Very nice car by the way, best in red or yellow imo.

    cheers again i prefer the older one skidmarks as you seem to feel the drive more if you understand that it's wierd you feel every bump but i think thats what driving a fast car is about you get the feeling of the speed i found with the p2 that the feel wasnt there yes you was going as fast but it was just to smooth and controlled proberly just me being weird lol thanks for the nice comments

    Nice car matey and I agree about the drive- I went from V70P1 T5 to 855 T-5R and the 855 is just a better "driver's" car; more feedback and not so soft and smooth
