dont think its a hot hatch really...205gti, clio williams, mk1 gti etc are hot hatches.....mk3 vr6 is a fabulous car but it is a heavy cruiser and ropey in the corners

Having been in one and 'shrugging away' an r8 id say they are fast.... er at breaking down  :grin:

Yeah more power doesnt mean hot hatch. Great car but its like a V12 Aston. Easily eats up the miles as quick as it does the ££££'s
