Nope not biased at all, seen the road tests, read the mags and driven 2 and they handle crap, they cannot handle or get the power down at all, arrive at a corner and go straight on.

If you got the money to buy the VXR, I'd spend it on a mk2 LCR and run rings round the VXR, even after both cars are mapped the LCR is a good mile ahead, with no torque steer etc. They are quite laggy cars the VXR, not the best handling compared to other cars you could get and over rated for the price IMO.

If the car was better I'd agree, not a biased view, however it is quicker than a mk4

but not by much.
