I'm after a fast road car, that may once or twice a year see the track. I don't want anything striped bare, and it must have all the creature comforts of air con, eletric this and that etc...
At the moment it sounds like a spec D with a bit of body mods to make it more in your face, and there was me saying a would modify it. Not even bought the car and I'm planning the mods.
I do like the sound of the Type 25 400+bhp. What other models come close to that sort of power as standard?

looked at various models and specs
nothing new out of the box did it for me
tested a type 25 but £45K
then out of the blue i found just the right thing
(see profile)looking forward to some track use next year
if i were still looking i think it would have to be S204
and some deep pockets

I think with 18" wheels you need a spoiler, but with the standard silver 17" wheels it looked a bit odd to me.

Finally found someone with a Typre 25. Took it for a little test drive today, a reslly nice car. But too extreme for road use. I was really tempted though.

Sounds like you want an S204 . It feels like an rs4 on the inside with the matt black dash and bespoke carbon fibre recaro leather seats ,but has that impreza buzz factor that no other car can offer.

Spec C Type RA
ST204
RA-R
In that order but the above are extremely rare which is why I think the best package on the market is/was the Type 25, you got a great car to start with and then Litchfield/Powerstation took the car to another level.
If the others above were more accessible then I would probably say the RA-R as the ultimate.. imagine tuning that even further - ballistic

The handling and Comfort on the Hawkeyed T25's is much improved over the MY05's. The Spec C is slightly more hard core by nature
I did test a RA-R with Jap Coilovers on it. On a UK B roads I couldn't get over 50mph as the wheels wern't on the deck long enough to get any grip
IMHO

Just been out in a RB320, and I think I'm in love. What a smooth car, loads of pwoer as standard, really diriverable and comfortable ride to boot. I just may have to get my wallet out.
