I'd like to see something with the 7.5 body shell. Custom BBS wheels, go to town on the suspension and steering feel to optimise handling. Maybe give it a little more power. Play with the ratios, add a short shift to the gearbox. Wishful thinking but you did ask! 
I like your thinking there, wishful indeed though!
It’s interesting that you mention how Porsche stage manage who and how customers are allowed to buy their cars. It’s something clubsport has touched on before too. An enviable position for a manufacturer to be in.
Exonian has owned all three and has reviewed them a few times. I'm sure he'll be along sometime soon!
Lucky mofo!
Financially hammered mofo after that little period of my life!
Everyone should own a 7R at some point in their life. They’re very very good cars.
Some say they’re dull but they’re not, it’s just hard to get the best out of them on public roads.
Utterly planted and very rapid, or sedate and solid. They can do it all. Not great on fuel though.
The Ed40 Clubsport much lighter on its toes, has the most character of any of the mk7’s.
TCR was the perfect swansong. It’s like everything VW learned about the mk7’s and everything they wanted to hone ready for the mk8 Clubsport was put into that model. For me it was the most aesthetically pleasing of all the mk7 generation along with the best GTI engine tune with the full fat 290 PS permanently available.
Just a shame it was DSG only.
