it seems that you go up the "car" ladder and come to an abrupt halt at subaru, not that i am complaining or out but, after some think else, i have been toying with the idea of a tvr cerbra or a R34, yes i know two totaly different cars but who gives it my money.
so whats your thoughts on that next rung off the ladder.

 

Well, after my Scooby (not that I'm planning to sell yet!) I was thinking of an Evo 6 my self! Never really liked the TVR... dont think I'd suit one TBH!

 

M5 seems to be the Scooby way

 

thought about the m5 but its just not different enough for me, plus its almost a rep car!!!!! lol

 

R34 GTR deffo or a well sorted R33

 

Why not jump up the Subaru ladder? Spec C / RA / Type xx.

Other than that, it would be an Evo / Skyline for me.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

My thoughts exactly.

Spec C, or Spec C Type RA (if you want that little bit extra exclusivity).

 

you say try a different version(Spec C, or Spec C Type RA ) but its still a scubaru, dont get me wrong i do love the scub's but its not different if you get me drift..................

 

There is a moment when you've done the Subaru range to death and can go no further. I'm specifically coming from the classic shape here and not the new shape versions which I cannot stand, and TBH don't see as a step up anyway.

I was thinking along the lines of a BMW M3 E46.

 

had a m3 before liked it but its a bmw, i always said i would never buy the same car twice, and yes before mr pslewis opens up every type is a different drive but all said its still a sub and i am thinking of " DIFFERENT"

 

I've always wanted a 2CV

 

funk in hell never thought of one of them, job done of to the trusty old ****ron dealer

 

defo skyline R34 pure raw power from standard and can have a lot of mods put into it woohoo thats my next car

 

dont get a tvr my uncle had a tuscan for 3days set on fire i spoke to my mate who works on them. I didnt even explain 2 him at first just said my uncles cars a write off,didnt even let me finnish n said "what did it set on fire"

 

Porsche anyone???

 

house for me!

 

I was gonna say porsche too.

Similar ish charectaristics. Practical and easy to live with, querky engine, great handling (modern ones mostly, unless older one modified). Loads of tuning bits available. 4wd.

Like you said its your money.

 

What sort of budget are you thinking 10k, 20k, 30k

If your thinking porsches/tvr them it must be a good budget

 

if i had 30/5k id be out like shot for a rs6 total all rounder
performance
exclusivity
space
comfort
mmmmmmmmm slavering just thinking about 1

 

nah not a prosche, they are boring!!! Unless you get a GT3, in my opinion, porsche have been and gone (as far as looks goes).

R34's aren't too common and are as fit as a butchers dog...

 

With that sort of money why not go for something really different, with sublime performance, style and handling = noble Gto
Ive only ever seen 1 and fe*k me it sounded and looked the dogs boll*cks, no question (in my opinion) i would be grabing the keys to one of these bad boys with that budget
ok not the most practical car, but i could manage

bowler wildcat is my alltime lottery winning fantasy vehicle!!! How about one of them??? Faster than a vanquish, and tougher than a panzer!

 

I've had this discussion at work - what gives the same thrills, performance and point to point speed of a subaru - i really cant think of anything.

BMW M3 - Gutless low down and no faster than my Classic on Acceleration.
TVR Cerbera - great but just too unreliable.
Honda S2000 Again just gutless low down
Evo - servicing and higher running costs.
Focus ST 225/Astra VXR - FWD
Monaro - not as tight and chuckable through tight twisty roads.
Clio 182 - FWD and not as fast.

I'm at a loss

 

Damn that's tasty. Add that to my list too.

 

No faster, but no slower meeting your original criteria. My classic is also gutless until the big turbo cuts in.

For me it isn't a car that's faster that I'll want after this one, just one with similar performance, it'll be a car that's more grown up. Hard to describe.

I did think of a Noble, but I don't want to spend any more than 15k ish on a car nowadays and it isn't the most pratical of cars

Eons ago I was going to get a 993 turbo. I wish I had now instead of a new P1, I could have run it on the depreciation of the P1 alone.

I Know what you are saying as i supose they are a totally different driving machine - i have the TD04 Turbo so it spools really quick but.... runs out of ummphhh at 5.5-6k just as the M3 is hitting its stride.

I can only think of a 996 Turbo giving me the performance that i want - and one of those might as well be light years way for me

 

Had a Cerbera, was a love/hate thing loved bits hated it more, sold it.
Had a few Porkers(still have old one). Good but expensive.
Got an RS4 now.
It eats clutches for fun

Will buy a Skyline this year, wanted one for ages now.

 

i've had one when i was 19, group 1 insurance, used it to build my NCD, drove it for a week while my Ibiza Cupra was having a leather re-trim them put it in a garage for a year.

Next car if not a scoob would probably be an EVO 8 MR or would love an R34 GTR, but i'll probably stick with Subaru and get a Spec C

 

i went;
my99ppp
sti my03
Porsche 996 Carrera 2 but missed the turbo kick so now...
porsche 996 turbo

 

m8 get a Skyline
i went from my STI 4 to a skyline nothing mad stage 1 tune about 400 bhp totally reliable.
Cheaper insurance belive it or not.
Eats any m3 most Porsches and far nicer than any evo
Also had a E39 m5 not as quick as u might think and not as tuneable !!
Here is my old baby
