Different cars and markets, the GTS is more aimed at the GT3RS buyers

The GTS isn't a road car like the GTR either

difference is

any old chav will be driving a GTR before too long

in fact, I've only seen utter chavs in them so far!

there's a lot to be said for pricing cars out of the range of the many

having said that, the GTS does nothing for me whatsoever

Bit like a Cayman S and an Aston

Chavs with a fair old lick of disposable income then - which is a bit of a contradition in terms really

As for the BM - a bit short on facts there to make any assumption about it being a matt blacked up bewinged marketing ploy, just yet.

Not at all. Some people always stay true to their origins.

I'm not necessarily agreeing with Gads point about all GTR drivers being chavs though.

But a lot of people have bought a GTR as "bling" rather than a good car.

Which leads me nicely onto the question of what is a CHAV

As i've always understood it stood for council house and vulgar, you all know the white tracksuit wearing knuckle draggers that frequent bargin booze, have 3.5 childen and claim incapacity benefit. Not the interior of a £50k+ car (unless he had a particular good customer base for his white powder round)

Chav, or charva if you're from Newcastle, is a subculture.

A chav who's won the lottery (ie won some shite lawsuit) is still a chav.

You can take the chav out of the council house, but you can't take the council house out of the chav.

I agree on the early days comment as well.
I guess this is the new CSL
Lets see what the drivers think
