You haven't included the optima's latest offspring in your list .... that is what I am going to from a BJ4WE as I find that car just doesn't suit me.

YES and by the sounds of it you would be the first to complain if you purchased an inferior product because it wasnt tested enough

true i probably would but from what i ve heard for club chat (schumacker drivers ) the car will be more balanced than anything else out on the market like the d4 bj 4 and b44 ,i was heard it has had everything thrown at it and that they really have taken their time SO i dont think it will be inferior plus the new mi3 is proving to be good hmmm is this a shue come back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!the proof is in the pudding but the pudding is nt cooked yet

the car will be very different and is picking up where the cat left off, it will be good and schuey have a few very quick drivers working on it, i think andy wallace will be working on it with phil booth so its bound to be great.


I got my xmas card from schuey today

the original Mi3 was not a 'great' car and a lot of top team drivers are running cars far from stock. If Schumacher take the same aproach it will have whacky design features.... and a spring release... dam, will that mean they miss the start of the season.
