There are still tons of new RD stuff on their way out though.

I think that RD2 Cadamuro kit is fairly new, and so are those black housing euros.

"I think that RD2 Cadamuro kit is fairly new"

Where do you pick one of them up? I tried the cadamuro site, but its all in some weird language, and I couldn't click any of the nav links.

Currently you can't. Do a search for Cadamuro on google and see who they have in the US or Canada that sells their stuff. There are places.

It's Ialian, and their kit has been around for some time.

Stock auto vs. stock GT V6, the RD does NOT have a chance. Our autos are very slow, especially off the line. In the higher gears they aren't that slow, but the 5spd was the transmission that was thoroughly advertised.

The RD though is a true Korean car, because it's small, and not a moving sofa like the GK. The RD weighs 2600 lbs, and the GK weighs in at 600 lbs MORE.

170hp in a V6 is not impressive either. I think we can achieve 170bhp N/A, am I right?
