[@PlatinumNath]

@@ryanshaw3268 For the Renault 5 Turbo, it's normal to not have many on the road anymore. It's an 80s car what do you expect, a homologation rally car no less. Years have passed and many are either used for racing by privateers or driven by people. You can say the same thing on how there's not a shit load of Golf R32's and not quite alot of Sierra RS500's on the road too now but oh you wouldn't bash them as much cause they're VW or Ford. It simply became rare just like most old car that isn't an affordable econobox. Not fair anyway to compare to a Golf GTi which is not even a homologation special. As for the Clio V6, it's production number isn't quite as much, adding to that it cost a pretty money back then, now it cost _quite alot of money_ now because people are treating it like a collectible car instead. (You can still occasionally find the Trophy version for cheap though, but they're not road legal and for racing only). Reportedly it's very nice to drive too but at the limit it's as scary as the original "widowmaker" Porsche 911 Turbo. It's production units is also limited
