Interesting ;) see told you auto's are slow :lol: ;)

Interesting the Coupe is now the fastest JCW and as John in the Factory said should handle better because of the rear section we all seen supporting across the rear of the car to stiffen it.

[Mon the fish]

^^ this is because the roof isn't structural, unlike the hatch - so it needs the stiffening to compensate for that.

It's the extra weight over the front axle that makes the coupe a tiny bit faster to 60 - gives it a smidgen more traction on a launch, but won't affect more representative 30-70 times

It's a universal standard of measurement though. Given that the new JCW engines have just been launched, and presumably the spec of the 'new' GP will be imminent, it makes sense to look at what each model is offering.

i have taken 3 orders on JCW in the past week, and i cant order the cars yet because the old one is out of production now, i would anticipate the change over will add about 4 weeks to the lead time on these, and ill probably need to take the hit if there is an increase on price.

[JC Mike]

One of the only things i have heard is that they are putting a new JCW engine out because they are planning on bringing out an Auto version.

[JC Mike]

Yeah thats what i had heard, should have increased torque too.
