Default Want something RWD with some fun factor on the side

Keep toying with the idea of selling the EVO to make way for something a little more on the edge before the GTR arrives next year. Had a few offers last time i tested the water but this time i am seriously looking

Looking at the options i'm thinking maybe a 350z or a M3, something with RWD and enough TQ to spin the rears to have some fun is the criteria. Anyone know of any good examples or can suggest another route to have a look at?

Are you looking to sell the evo Andy or swap/px it.

You of all people will know if you sell it, you'll make a horrible loss.

But I personally would go with a TVR or an M3.

As an after thought, I would also consider a new model Mustang or Dodge Charger/Challenger, but I am going through a 'muscle car' worship stage currently. My doctor says I will ok, just ride it out and all that

If you want something RWD for some fun I'd go for a MK V Cortina!

Think I would rather have a Lotus Elise over an Impreza Sport (first car btw, so I can judge on that one).

Me and Andy were looking on P/heads last night at Mustangs. Seems he's struggling to get bad thoughts out his head too.
