I must say that I am quite surprised at the proportion of stage 2+ cars.

Stage 2+ or more is now 'only' 40%. Looks like the higher tuned cars are probably frequenting this section more often.

still amazed at the number of stage2+ cars !

personally im surprised at the amount of stage 2 cars, The + makes such a difference, i saw stage 2 as a bad state of tune hence why they developed 2+ the flat spot drove me mad!

I'm at Stage 1 (314BHP on Edition 30) and probably won't go any higher as I'll no doubt need new clutch, brakes, etc etc, and I'm happy with the performance I now have,

I'll probably add a Catback but nothing else, I'd rather sort handling and suspension
