Well it is a French car.

[SHIFTY]

hey french cars are good fun.. especially working on them!

I like these for some reason, this one is extra appealing to me for some reason

maybe its the cage, race seats, semi's and red wheels

Car definitely looks quirky, but i love it!

Anyone know what a DC2R does around the ring? i think i read somewhere that the DC5R does 8.25??

it would also depend on the driver.... consdiering the tegs are very similar in power to weight (especially the dc5) a combination of different drivers would make it an interesting competition.

man the 8.16 time is really impressive, im still very surprised and impressed.

Check out this list (link below), look at the cars below and above it, eye opener?? only 4 secs slower then the current M5.

over 20seconds faster then an NSX, S2000 and Civic Type-R

Ok this car is pretty hot.
But on the flipside you modify a DC2R, DC5R etc to the equivilent of this cage, etc.
Id be interested to see the times.

I wonder how a mugen built honda would go on it.

awesome car... anything with a Renualt Sport badge on it is sure to be VERY quick around the twisties... and look weird in the process.

But in saying that... i don't think i could ever bring myself to purchasing a FWD turbo car... even though i'm sure Renualt have gone to amazing measures to ensure the car dosn't have an tourque steer, i just don't think it could be as much fun as say a Audi S3.

A major service on your average Honda is around $1500 and a CL9 won't do Nurburgring anywhere close to under 9 minutes.
