Its a luxury car, with only the finest materials...no one denies that.
I switched my '008 for a cyclone, so im aware of the amazing xray quality. But because i had one i also know some of that quality stuff is pointless. The Xray multi diff for example , although beautfull is expensive, eats blades like there is no tomorrow (i run modified) and too heavy. I rather have the V3 spoll any day. Hell, the steel cups cost just a litle more than the xray blades, and far more durable...
All considered, i dont find the cyclone more expensive to run, and i seem to like its road manners a litle better
