Except for back seats, NVH, and a few other practicality things.. but yeah, on the track I wouldn't question for a moment which one is the alpha!

I was partially curious what the difference in cost between a regular Megane (the hotter end of their spectrum) and this full out track edition was. If it was 65K, what is a regular megane 265 or RS300 at the time (40K?).

I wouldn't get too riled up about someone not appreciating the artistry in a true track car and the boldness of a manufacturer offering something of that caliber and dedication. That's a hell of a car you have!

Edit: I priced out a Megane RS Trophy on the australian website and it came out at 65k and the article that was linked in here said the Trophy R was 75K. So seems like you got a good deal on the Trophy R! A 10k markup over the top regular Megane also doesn't seem bad at all for the level of changes.
