Yeah it's is huge and that is one of the things I don't like so much about the car....

it's a necessary evil.
Does it take a lot of the rear view away?

DanRo, how about the sound of the engine, the ride and road noise. Any comments on those?

Nice video and love the split screen on this. Be interesting to see how quickly he can drive it round that round sticking to just one lane however!! ;) Looks blooming quick though!

Re: RCZ R test drive

What color? Big navigation?

Honestly there is not much options you have for the R. In regards of mechanic upgrades. You can remap the engine which always helps. But other than that there is not much on the market you can do.
And honestly? I never lacked anything on my R while smashing her from one corner to another :greetings-wavingblue:

Re: RCZ R test drive

The things I consider doing are :

- 20" inch wheels, but that's easy I will use the ones from my old RCZ
- remap 295 Bhp
- remap + exhaust + cat + air filter 305 Bhp (but very expensive)
- wrapped it

A remap to 295 (it is more like 280-285 in real world, you will see it :eusa-whistle: ) is the most reasonable upgrade you can do to the R.
Going beyond it will be very, very costly and the gains hardly noticeable. My personal opinion :greetings-wavingblue:
But you seem to be experienced with upgrading the RCZs :beer:

When it comes to the exhaust, the note changes the more you drive the car. The stock exhaust requires some serious burning before it starts to sound like it'd have been right from the factory. Then it sounds really nice with a deep note, some crackling and burps on gear changes.
Unfortunately I didn't make it to the last RCZ meet in Benelux area. But maybe next time I can show it to you on my R.
