At least now I know what I want

Hi all,

Well, having read this post on the FTOOC forum as well as all your comments and my own research I have now decided on getting a GPX over a GPvR

http://www.ftooc.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5354

I thought my FTO had NO soundproofing cause of the road noise...turns out the GPvR has even less!! Plus, with the roads I drive on I can not justify limited slip diff and less comfort over nearly identical performance, more confort and 2K cheaper. And I would miss my Air Con to be honest

So, still checking the auctions every day for that illusive 1998/1999 manual silver, red or black GPX!!! Bring it on!

Yeah, theres *some* soundproofing on the floors, under the rear seat, the boot and the wheel arches.

I assume you drive on decent roads as an LSD is really useful on the twisties. Still prefer the GPvR myself though

No, not decent roads really but driving at speeds that would benifit from LSD would just be madness on the roads that I use going home I would imagine and around Dublin it's either the M50, M1 or slow roads round Beaumont. I don;t think I would have the surfaces to enjoy the LSD....or maybe I have it wrong...maybe you dont have to go flat out to enjoy it
