Enjoy
I'm now bored with the Nissan - I need something safer where the back end doesnt freak out when you load in too much power, unless your in a straight line!
Will see what the Scoob is like once I get back (and probably £30k lighter on my bank balance once everything is sorted).. otherwise I'll see what there is out there again.. though suspect I'll be paying a lot of money for something
Ah well, its only money ;-)

Thanks mate - I am sure you would like one of these - shame they managed to **** you off.
By all accounts it is a super stable car - unless you choose for it not to be!

I find it oversteers a bit more than I like too, but that is in the wet with Dunlop or Bridgestone runflats that don't like standing water. However, the only things with similar performance I can think of that oversteer less would be an Audi RS6 (5.0 V10 twin turbo), but I've not tried a Lambo, Bentley or other fast AWD stuff. Surely all RWD stuff will oversteer more?
A few get bored because they want more oversteer once they master the stock power level, and that is easily sorted by tuning.
Or are we saying if we dump 700lbft through a suitable gear to the rear tyres of a tuned GT2 that it will oversteer less because of the rear engine?
Most of the stuff with more torque split to the front in AWD have small engines.

John off that list you've not mentioned the Audi R8 V10, not that I've driven it but by all accounts very neutral and less numb than the RS6

I drove an Audi R8 V10 at Snetterton a few months ago
Not that impressed, too boring
I thought it was a V8 until the owner told me it cost him £115k..still it had the practicality of the tow in eye like the Nissan
Certainly more comfortable with more room and head-height than a GTR35 Nissan
Thats my biggest bug-bear in that with a helmet on in the Nissan its just too painful on the headheight.. - I'm 6ft 2.. but with a long back it seems
