NSX. I probably would have gone Lotus if I was smaller, and, as TJ said, you've already had one. Had one blitz past me earlier on today. |

If your budget will allow a 964 RS or if you can stretch it further a 993RS.... both zero depreciation cars infact they are both going up in money, a friend brought a 993RS in March '07 from H&S cost £43K plus picking it up and registering it in UK, last week he was offered £50K by a German buyer unseen..... best bit, both cars are track ready.

Bit more than I want to spend, and I will be sh*tting it on a track as I would not want to crash it. |

NSX - you won't park next to another in a car park unless its a club meet. A great balance of capabilities and a a car that could be driven every day as well as on track. A local chap down here has an early one (part of a fleet incl Maser 4 door, RS4 Conv, etc.). Have always loved to hear it on the move. The S2k is rare and a bit special but you'd need to keep a run around. I've had a run in a friends one and to me it just doesn't feel right to rev a car to 9k but it does fly like poo off a shovel when you press on a bit. |

@ Kin: that NSX lives in Cork, a couple of miles down the road from me. Forgot you had been out in it. the sound from it is savage, isn't it? Especially from outside.

In which case my vote goes to NSX. Edit......in the absense of E30 M3. Edited by Sporty1 |

I was looking at one that Plum Tyndall had as a press car recently. Impressive in a big sort of way, you could sit one Elise on the bonnet and another on the boot |

I'd have the Lotus exige, or a Westfield Megabusa or Ariel Atom for the track only. All are relatively expensive if all you are using them for is a couple of track days a year. A cheaper alternative would be a stripped out rice rocket like a Nissan 200sx (great sideways fun).

Hi Kin, i would be asking myself am i going to be just doing mondello? if so something like a lotus or an E46 would be best bet mind you the lotus is not forgiving! if your doing more high speed tracks consider the nsx, but i think its prob too big for mondello |

From what I figure your criteria seems to be, personally from your list the NSX would be my first choice but another to consider would be a Z3/4 M Coupe. Always comes out fairly well on track tests and is a nice weekend car with room for the 5.10 model. Plus you can still go to BMW meets

A MkII Clio V6 would also figure heavily in here I think. Or a TVR? Or a Noble? Edited by T.J. |

FWD is a no no... It is now down to a Porsche 911 or BMW E46 M3 SMG, Porsche with no modding(yeah right) or BMW and I get to mod it. Edited by Kin Mak |

you are down to two from your wishlist.
NSX or Porker? I can only echo what has been said here about the Honda.. it truly is one of the great cars. One that you can use properly, not just as a toy.. but it can really cut the mustard when you want it to.. but lets be realistic here.. the Porker has more going for it in the real world as there are many more to choose from.. whoever it was that said "focus your choice on one particular car but don't buy the first one you see" was obviously not shopping for an NSX. If you are a 'detailer' you wont want the Jap.. they are just too shabby.. a porker will look like a new one every time you give it a wash. Tough choice, but I'm afraid if it were my money I'd get the Porsche. |
