I think after owning a TTRS he is going to be disappointed with anything less than a Veyron. TTRS' are the fastest cars on the planet after a remap .

That would be my choice anyways

Edit..

Just watched Jason Plato driving one. It's actually 415bhp standard.

The impreza has reputation of being quick cars as they are... Which is nice

An in some motoring circles around the globe, one of the quickest point to point cars ever made (that's debatable lol).

But as far as the Type 25 is concerned. Super car performance. Japanese reliability. 4 doors an a big boot....

Mr Lambo would never see it coming
As Plato said and Ian Litchfield told me, people with Lambo's and Ferrari's have bought these and liked them more than their exotica.

The Type 25 is good but a Litchfield LM450 Turbo on a Hawkeye Spec C would be a better proposition.

If an M5 has 101bhp/tonne then it weighs five tonnes...

F1 derived V10 or heavily chooned up four pot. Hmmm, a tough one...
