The Rex was loads of fun, brilliant around corners, in the wet, in the dirt etc etc but demanded more concentration and involvement than suited my lifestyle so I bought the T. In fact I just sold my last T a few days ago, picking up a new mkii on Fri. I wish I could have two cars though, my T for a daily driver, and something like a STi or Evo for weekend fun.

MaxPower Member 65 Member For: 20y 9m 29d Posted 27/02/05 08:57 AM Share Posted 27/02/05 08:57 AM Well I wouldnt be be suprised. 97-98 Rex's are super quick I had a Motor mag that clocked a 13.8 (98)There are some stock Auto T's that have done this but no manuals as far as im aware.On another note it all comes down to the driver with a rex. If they launch at 5500rpm then they will do areound 13.8 - 14.0.The T is not a supercar by any means in stock trim, but mod them and you have a winner that will out bang for buck almost any car that is new and in it price range.

But since phase II no rex has beaten me and now that I have phase III I don't know if they are trying cause they are that far behind me.
