    Oh dear...contrary opinion here. Looks to me like what happens when little girls break into mother's makeup cabinet. A little too much in some of the wrong places.

    Not sure if the dealer will, but if you hear an MA promise it, you'll know it's time to find another dealer. :D

    Actual numbers and price would be nice. Did I read that right? Adjustable suspension?

    Isn't "knicker twisting" and Olympic sport? If not it should be. :biggrin5:

    Looks good. Sounds like a track-day dandy! :D

    Does it have a mechanical LSD? That's a deal-killer if it doesn't.

    I'm guessing price point is $40k BEFORE bull-hooey dealer mark-up.

    It is a good looking car but 40k is just not worth it.

    If you gave me one would take it. The first things I would do is remove those ugly wheels, take off all the silly GP stickers and black out the rest of the car. They maybe put some S logos on and hit the track. Yeah it's just a stock S with a few aero mods wanna race ?

    :cornut: I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy, I thought that Margi(my 08 R56 MCS/JCWm) was flashy, she's not any more flashy than the 2013 JCW GP. The GP's flashiness is in very good taste though.:Thumbsup:

    I love that the article calls out 18in Khumo's 'developed' for the GP v2.0, but the photos clearly show a 17in wheel and tire combo...
