    Drove my fist Trophy - couple of questions

    Cue: I guess i was comparing it against my RX8 (which has nothing under 5K), it just seemed to get noiser above 4k but not actually faster :) Will hunt out another to try and test drive :)

    Drove my fist Trophy - couple of questions

    Thanks for the quick reply, it was kind of the catch 22 situation as well where i didn't want to rag the chaps car but it didn't feel as well as it should have. I'll keep looking and see if I can get a drive in another.

    Drove my fist Trophy - couple of questions

    Great, thanks for the input. My RX is a Prodrive edition which has different from stock dampers and springs which are track biased. It really is spot on for track but a bit crashy on roads. Just really want to get in a Trophy and see what all the fuss is about :mrgreen:

    Hi guys, thanks for the replies. This is my current steed: I love it to bits but me and the Mrs are stretching ourselves fairly thin with the new house so any spare money would be a bonus.

    Hello all, Just registered with the forum to do a little research on the Trophy. I currently need to free up a little cash for a new house so need to sell my car. I love driving and trackdays so want something fun and exciting to park in the garage for when the mood takes me. I don't do many...
