Hahaha

You want to have 9 lives to take a Celsior onto the track.

It's like berthing the Queen Mary mate. Big softarse barge that it is.





Haha, Your not wrong Rob, they are like very much barges. I really noticed in the one I test drove. This is really what seperates the two cars practically - the celsiors just dont belong on the track. Unless you spend a lota cash on Suspension/Handling upgrades and weight reduction - but that would just totally ruin what the cars all about so forget that idea!! So yeah this is where the celsior looses out a bit.:-(

Soarer, grouse. No house should be without one. Sleek, sexy, sporty and quick.

You got kids? If so, get a Celsior. Soarer's are two people cars generally




Yeah theres another good point. Im only single so dont need the extra space, Unless Im carting my buddies around in the best comfort possible for the price. What attracts me to the celsior is also the fact that it has so many more goodies than the soarer like the rear seat functions. But i dont need them! I cant use them at all as Ill aways be driving and never be in the back while the cars driving

For the majority of my driving time - Ill be alone and take one of my pals around occasionally so really I would need 2 seats at most.

Considering my needs the Soarer seems to be the way to go.

Firstly Its a proven decent car on the track.
Secondly its Sleek and sporty standard (Infact one of the best looking cars around IMO :-)) In comparison the average stock Celsior is a bit more dull unless they have larger wheels etc.
Thirdly - I only need 2 seats most of the time.
And of corse - I have to pick one as I sadly cant afford both currently!!

haha - This is the second or 3rd time Ive gone back to looking at a soarer against a celsior! Gosh I hope Ill stick with this choice and wont change! Soarer is number one on my list, followed by the celsior of corse. :-)

Looks very nice, especially the dark colour and clear front indicators. The stock orange ones dont really work do on the celsior... they make it look cheap for some reason - perhaps since they are quite a bright orange...

I think it will be most wise to test drive a couple of the celsiors/soarers just to see which one I feels the best. Its really the only way! :-)

So true. At a track like sandown after 1 lap you will be heading into the kitty litter at the end of the main straight when you go to hit the anchors and the pedal goes straight to the floor, that is if you have made it around the rest of the track without hitting the wall or coming off

David, did you end up getting the indicators from Japan?
I'm looking for a set.
BTW don't worry about Denham, he won't be needing them
