Are yoy crazy
Go drive a stage 2+ eddie, i dont regret it at all, i didnt pay for my software and got bits at cost so is diffrent for me but one thing i will say is a stage 2+ eddie is great fun, it takes half a brain cell to learn when to plant and when not to plant it so the whole traction thing is bull imo
Ive had a bloke in a new RS6 stop me because he couldnt catch me and he wonderd what the hell my car was, granted he would do me top end but it isnt top trumps....
to me that makes it worth it, my eddie makes me smile and we mod our cars to make them faster than the competition...i can build a car that suits me for less than buying a GTR because is my eyes a GTR would be my next move, 45K for a gtr plus its running costs makes my eddie a bargain in my eyes...
Im dsg tho so didnt have to buy a clutch (yet!) And i got parts cheap and a deal on my software, so for me its a bargain but its all down to personal prefference, its what a car needs to be for YOU..if you want good fuel consumption and a nippy car then you have the wrong car and your modding the wrong car
Each to there own
