If you've driven a VXR, you'll understand why. Straight line speed amazing (if you can keep on top of the torque steer) but handling is not quite good enough for the power in my mind.

Maybe I'm not a good enough driver to deal with it, but it was things like the lift off. In Ruby I can lift a little to tighten the line gently if I'm into a bend not quite right, in the VXR, I nearly spun the b*gger on a roundabout when I lifted, it was like an old 205 (but not in a good way!)

Whenever I see a thread like this, I can't help thinking of Stromba's Kubelwagen pic. That had me in creases...

I got my issue last night but don't recall seeing the Trophy?

I may have glanced over it however as I quickly turned to the RS4 vs M3 CS vs C55 write up... :)
