I drove one of these once, and it was freakin awesome.

Kept a 2000 GTV behind it in a straight line, and absolutely destroyed it in the corners.  Amazing car.

Not sure it's worth that much, but will be interesting to see what it goes for.

do they really go that hard ?
I would really love to see one in  real life
how did it differ to a stock GTA if such a thing can be said

Not sure what you mean by "how did it differ from a stock GTA"?  This one is a stock GTA Junior Stradale, as was the one I drove.

And yes, they really do go that hard.  They weigh bugger-all, and have a fantastic engine that revs out to 8000rpm.  They have no power down low, are very hard to get off the line, but at 7000rpm they just roar and take off.  I can only imagine what a 1600 version would be like.

Just saw in your sig that you had a couple of Moto Morinis.  God I love those bikes.  Did you have those in Australia?
