450+bhp scoob too slow?
 

Lookinng to buy 2nd hand Porsche GT2 and modify
and alternatives?
Wife wants a fast car so it must do minimum 0-100 in undr 9 secs

and comments - must be reasonably practical!

and yes I have owned previous modded 450- bhp Cossie so NO

Practical and fast? Don't often go together. I wouldn't call a 996 practical personally.

try an audi RS4 or RS6 practical and powerful and reasonably easy to mod:D

A 996 is a reasonably practical car for a couple. It has enough luggage space for a weekend, possibly even a week away, and regular stuff such as weekly shopping is not a problem. A stock 996TT with X50 pack though is probably a better bet if you want all-weather practicality and occasional rear seats.

Is it just getting to 100 your interested in?

GT2, GT3 RS, Cerbera, Westy Megabusa?

I suppose it's more practical that a caterham or suchlike.

Are you seriously going to get your wife a tuned GT2? She must have really pi55ed you off

I'm not sure it would be that easy to get an RS6 to do 0-100mph in under 9secs. As standard it's about 11.5secs, and upgrading pst 550bhp - which you'd probably need to do - gets very expensive. Anyway the 996 is a better drivers car, so unless you need the rear seats and massive luggage space would be a better bet than the RS6.

New M5 or RS6 Avant modded to over 500 bhp of course

RS6 is too heavy
Wifey wants faster
I'm in RSA and a lttle pissed!

Seiously though

Wife drives faster than i do! (I drive fast - ask Bob Rawle)
And she has been over 200 mph in a car (no I am not kidding She has been at 240mph in Swedish car!!)
and this is serious for anyone that knows me
I have been in a 400bhp Evo and a 600 bhp Skyline - and you do not want to know what the wife thought..............
Budget 80k

try a r34 skyline

btw wife not pissed but educated
GT3 TOO SLOW

Seious - not wanting race car - just prcastical Very fast car - think we have deciddoD modded Porsche GT2 AT 600 B HP
With race fuel my sti5 would be 550bhp=- but wife says this is a chav car now!!!

r34 sKY TOO SLOW

get a plane.

nothing it would appear will be fast enough for her with 4 wheels.

there is a 600 bhp type R for sale in the for sale section:D

F*** me an RS6 would dink dank doo for me.

Ok 80K a deresticted BMW M6

A Brabus K55 (tuned SL55 Merc)

Bin her out, and get a women who is alot easier to please!! :D

are you and your wife looking for a quick or fast car? or combination of both?

I'm sure Bob Rawle has a "widowmaker" GT2 on his drive at the moment.......standard spec looked pretty scarey to me !!!!

Midlife.....

Since when?... ;)

M5 and M6 new ones...
993 TURBO ;) oh yes!! ;)
Skyline the New one.. i think Nismo thingy!! arnd 60K i think
how about a Maranello? best handling car every made or so i heard.

how about the noble m400 0-60 3.5 secs cant be much more to hundred

then its that still too slow spend 20k tuning it :)

Get a hayabusa ;)

Get an Ultima! 0-100 in 5.5 and will do around 230mph. Plus you'll have plenty change to spend on a trailer so it's nice and practical :-)

what i was going to suggest, or the m14:D:D:D

Must do a tonne in less than 9 seconds......hmmmmm

Is your wife some serious track day driver ? I really can't understand why an earth you would require that a specific performance time......

to me on a public road, it is obscene if you really require that performance stat.

btw what was she driving at 240 mph then ? a Koenigsegg ? :)

Steve,

You wanna be spending your money on developing your driving skills for yourself and your misses.

A good driver in a 450-550bhp is gonna hammer most of the cars mentioned above anyway.

oh barabus merc! good choice! its gotta have 600bhp what ever it is minimum.so ur best off getting car u are comfy in then tuning it!

Arial Atom 300 0-100 in 6.8
one will be on my drive next year...:)
