Interesting see told you auto's are slow

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.

^^ 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
