Default Perks of the "Mugen" Job!

Picked this up last week, its going on display in one of our showrooms for a month or so. I had it for a few days, nice perk!

Very impressed to be honest, shame about the price tag!

Its one of the Mugen 20 limited editons, with the rebored 2.2 engine.

I was filling up my Milano DC5 in a petrol station here in Aberdeen and a Mugen CTR like this pulled up behind me to fill up aswell (i would guess its not one of the 2.2's) he commented on my car and mentioned how rare the red DC5's are, he mentioned that his car gets alot of attention but he did not like it as much as he thought he would.

He probably had that sinking feeling of realising he'd just spent a huge amount of cash on something that really wasn't worth it.

Thats possible, but he did mention that his brother in law or something sourced him the car and he only ended up paying about 24k or something. whether thats true or not i don't know.

It could be that he had the Mugen-Lite version (Mugen 200), all the show but nowhere near as much go as the full fat Mugen.

Has anyone ever done a head to head comparison between the FN2 Mugen and the FD2 Mugen RR? I'm intrigued to know which would be the better/more fun car.
