Ah i see, tis true though you can get a really tidy one for not a lot of moolah at all.

So that must mean on the flip side there are some right snotters for peanuts.

I'd agree with a 700/900 option, get one with a locking rear diff and modify the diff counterweight so that the locker engages above 25mph, up the boost and you'll be fine in the dry! Cheaper than 300's as well :lol:

My 700 is incredibly stable sideways. Probably because it's so damn long and heavy. It's seriously a better slider than any 300 I've driven.
