How about a TVR? Check out this vid. 3 TVR's against an NSX-R.

That is a pretty bad video to convince me of TVRs, shows how diffcult it is to heel and toe and how a NSX-R would distroy them.

I'm well impressed by everyones support of the NSX! Such a pity more people didn't see beyond the Honda badge day 1... but there's alot of serious metal for the stg£60k it cost new.

And if in Kins position, given the money......  .... I'd be torn! 996 is such a sweet motor too.

I expected at least one TVR to calve on the BMI video! NSX-R destroyed them.... what a motor

Did you notice how, in the "seriously quick group" at the fahrerlehrgang, nearly everyone drove a CSL?

I'm sure the T-5 is fun but not following an M5 - the signature says it all (insert whatever emoticon that indicates that I mean my last remark in the friendliest way possible).

HaHa - now now Kin, I didn't mean like that...

It looks like it's a toss-up between the NSX, Exige and 996; what are you leaning towards?

E46 M3 SMG... I wanted to see what people would choose. In the end all good advice but I am going to go with the car I want.

Well, I'll probably be the last person on the board to knock that choice - good luck finding a good'un.

Yeah but they're going for dirt cheap now, around a third of what a well looked after E34 M5 would fetch. I'm just buoyest against Volvo as you would've guessed!

Why not go for a manual?? The SMG is less than perfect from what I hear.

Manual is better if you are driving on the roads as you can modulate the shifting better, SMG is better for the track. Just want to give it a go, I have always liked it when I have driven one. It is definately not to everyones taste but I am the exception.

The CSL SMG is much better than the M3 SMG.
