I hate to say it - but I am bored with my 996 Turbo.

Had it 5 months - bloody quick etc etc but preferred the 993 turbo I had before.

Reckon will get about £50K in part exchange.

Not sure what to replace it with - want something well made, very quick, raw and most of all exciting. Something with an "edge".Thought about GT3. Any other ideas??

 

Sell it and buy a proper 911

(i.e pre1990's )

Preferably an old Carrera RS, not as quick, but certainly more raw and hell of alot more in touch with the road.

 

get the GT3 and prepare to **** your pants evertime you take it out in the wet lol

 

his and her STis.....

seriously why are you coming on SN to talk about a car probably 10 times worth more than most of the carp here....

of course you are entitled to but IMO you would get a more intelligble response on piston head or a board like that

 

There's obviously lots of choice if you can go up to or over 50k. How much can you afford/do you want to spend - that may dictate what the best car for you actually is? Buy EVO magazine and read the EVO knowledge at the back and then compile a shortlist. Anything worth buying from recent years will be covered in there and I've got every issue, so could give you some good info from their past tests to help you decide. Me, I'd be looking at something like a Ferrari F430 if I could afford it...

 

R34 GTR, and plenty of change.

Other than that, an Exige S is on my want list, as is a Sagaris. dont think either would bore you too much!

I quite fancy that Bugatti Veyron myself. Next months wage should see it sat on my drive

 

Good ideas.

What about a 993 RS - very rare but prices are going up.

Fancy a evo MR360 as well.

Had a scooby years ago and then a evo 300 3-4 years ago - most fun car I ever owned.

 

360?

 

Ariel Atom with the Supercharger - bit of a trackday special, but pretty raw and exciting!

 

MY06 T25

New Noble

GT3

GT3 RS

993 RS is fabulous but also fabulously expensive (prices continue to rise)

Personally would not bother with either Lotus or TVR at this level. Indeed TVR seem to have all but stopped making cars now.

Or get a decent coupe for the road and something special for the weekend, SR3 and take it on track

 

Nissan : R34 GTR V-spec YOU WONT FIND BETTER..!

check out the bhp, and I'm watching damien omen right now

 

964rs clubsport
993rs clubsport

..and buy something else to get you to work.

 

It's the latest addition to the FQ range

 

no, i'm thinking ferrari imo, if you're bored of a porker, the only way is up

gumpert apollo. Audi engined, 1100kg rwd, as much downforce as a DTM racer, 0-62 in 2.9 secs with a top speed of 233mph.

 

and of course within budget

 

How about a Marcos TSO?

I saw and most importantly heard one in Berlin recently....what a sound!!!!

Marcos : Marcos TSO

 

if people are suggesting ferrari's and hes had a 996 turbo I dont think 100k is OTT for what hes getting.

 

How about one of the last NSXs? World class engine note, top notch build and reliabily and relatively practical. You don't see many off them and, while you will have to work the engine a little more than the porker, it should provide the combination of performance/comfort/edge that you are looking for. I have done the STI thing and they definitely don't have the edge you are looking for so don't even think about going there!

 

FQ360 tune the ***** off it 500+bhp/ferrari 355/360/456./viper/supra/gt3/radical/nobleM12. want me to carry on lol

 

Being an NSX owner, I think if he gets board of the 996T he'll get bored of an NSX. As its relatively the same without the oomph, unless he gets a more hardcore import version. Great car to live with, but its just too easy - like the 996.

However a 1973 RS isn't easy to live with, but being 500kg lighter than a 996 or NSX for that, it's alot more edgy, especially if the engine has been tweeked.

 

Thats it..... Im going to apply for a job at NASA to test their rockets and keep my licence clean

 

Personaly, I'd go for the new Audi R8.

Just the best looking car you can buy. Pretty quick too. Best in Black.

 

 

New Audi without doubt

 

Not sure that there is much to that criteria that isn't German (and isn't Porsche).

What are RUF like?

 

Get a 996 GT2. More power, RWD, much scarier

One here for £50k New Page 1

 

Ok, how about going in the other direction. Everyone has suggested spending his entire budget and a bit more. Why not spend less? How about a supercharged Elise with loads of fancy options, an Z4M Coupe or maybe a supercharged 350Z? The only difficulty with taking this kind of action is that you don't have the posh key fob to impress people in the pub. Think different - don't be a sheep.

 

How about a Noble of some description or a reality check !

My 2001 Saab 9-3 LPT with nearly 90,000 miles on is available for disolusioned supercar owners on the very reasonable basis of a straight swap for a week, if you dont feel better about your 911 turbo after a week your money back.

Or, perhaps a brand new Kia Rio and give the rest to charity ?
