Whilst my CX is in for a warranty rad & a few other things Krazy Horse have lent me an auto WRP4. This is a 2020 with just the ECU chip so only 316 bhp & 461 Nm of torque.
This goes quite well and without traction control I would worry in the wet & prefer a manual. Floor it & the speed climbs v quickly in any gear.
With a normal cat & exhaust it is civilised noise wise as well which HO likes.
Being a 2020 car the seats are rock hard & the suspension rougher than my 22 car.
The old hood you realise is far simpler.
This car has low temp race pads so the brake response takes a while to get used to.
