VXR8 will be my next one. If I win Lotto and it's a big sum, Buggati Veyron! :norty:

JonMc 01 August 2007 09:45 PM

As it is my toy it'll be one of this lot:

E46 M3
Hawkeye STi (In black)
Lotus Exige

or at the other end of the scale

Mk 1 or 2 Escort RS with a cossie lump in it

See how the mood swings when I change it in 18 months time or so

Maybe biased towards Subaru, but it doesn`t get much quicker till you are spending supercar money.

Ant.

Ant, I can categorically confirm that a GT3 is significantly quicker than a STi PPP in the dry but that the difference in speed was pretty much reversed when it rained!

My choices, RS6 Avant, Noble M400, Type25/EvoX

collierm 01 August 2007 10:12 PM

If I had the money, probably a V8 Vantage Aston.

Being more realistic, a VXR Monaro or an S204. ..edited.. can I add the Type 25 to that list. Can't believe I forgot that!

Cheers

out of all the nice cars ive had the scoob is gona be the hardest to replace, but i would definatly be looking at the supra TT, depending if the kids can saftley be seated.

NAY93WRX 01 August 2007 10:31 PM

Im thinking.....

Skyline R32 GTR or

Mazda RX7 or

Toyota Corolla AE86:luvlove: for a bit of old school drifty fun!

Allan 01 August 2007 11:03 PM

Probably another Scoob for me, although my dream car would be a 993 C4S........one day.

Scoobs are irreplaceable! Havin been in quite a few so called supercars can honestly say that a well sorted STI takes some beating. Its not necessarily the speed of them. Its the whole thing i.e sound, handling, tunability and sheer fun factor. Would love obviously anice Ferrari, Lambo, GT3 or Aston but in real world could poss afford Type 25 maybe in few years if I am lucky. My mates just bought a 450bhp TVR which is frighteningly quick but its not for me! Crashed my STI over a year ago and bought a Merc S500 which is a far superior car in most ways but I would swap it tomorrow for an STI8....

stuh1981 01 August 2007 11:57 PM

Will not be changing for a good couple of years (says the wife) but would consider

BMW M3
Volvo S60R
Impreza WR1
EVO 8

I wanted a scoob from when I was about 20 (1994) and I saw one for the first time in Burscough and my mate pointed it out proclaiming it could keep up with a cosworth...
Intrigued, I yearned for one until 2003 when I bought my nicely modded 99 UK Turbo :notworthy
2 years later and it was time to change to a slower but more solid 2002 UK WRX...
A few weeks ago that changed to a 2004 Xtype diesel :luvlove: I still love scoobies but grew weary of insurance, petrol and road tax expense along with all the chav attention and vandalism etc and decided I had to change. I miss the performance sometimes, but not often enough to justify the £100 a month I am saving just as I'm about to buy my new pad :D

So to answer the question, there was only one car I would change my scooby for and that was a torquey posh ford :lol1:

Had money have been no object it would have been an RS6 Audi though :luxhello:

jaytc2003 02 August 2007 08:29 AM

evo 6 for its rawness
new m3 just look class and go well
audi rs6 fast as anything and plenty of space for fishing tackle and the dog

scoobystiv8 02 August 2007 09:08 AM

I am on my 3rd Impreza, after the second one I went to different brands for nearly 2 years, then got bad withdrawel symptoms and had to buy another MY03 STi. Even the wife ended up converted and had the Forester S-Turbo.
I have owned both saphire and escort cossies, it really would be a step the wrong way after a subaru. Reliability on the saphire was appauling and the escort wasnt that much better. Very dated now. I will be sticking with subaru.

Jay m A 02 August 2007 09:10 AM

I doubt I'll get rid of this one, so when it becomes an weekend / trackday / sprint car I'll probably plump for the VXR8, however I'm liking the idea of supercharging the Rover 75 ZTT V8 estate

movi-star 02 August 2007 03:17 PM

Its a good question, having owned mine for 3 years im finding it hard to find a car that could tick all the boxes the Scoob does, its a total hoot to drive.

With my 1st baby just arrived my thoughts lean towards a E39 M5 or a B10 Alpina, something I could still tune a bit. A few mods to a E39 M5 would see 450BHP.............thou Im in no hurry to change just yet!!

Abx 02 August 2007 03:28 PM

My wife tells me I've got the scoob for a few more years yet but on the list so far is:

RS4
Foz STI if not too dated by then
Range Sport

SRT-4 ... wouldn't bother importing one, my friend has got one and its nothing but wheelspin and no handling , and maintenance is a bitc... well I dont like those cars and they're not so powerfull either at least he didn't have a change at my scooby

DazW 02 August 2007 04:10 PM

Having done the rally rep thing ...Gralé, GT-Four & now a 555 i quite fancy a change ...been looking at Exige's & Clio V6's ...but tbh I will probably be ditching the 'car' scene & be buying a Kart

wrx300si 02 August 2007 04:58 PM

Just p/x'd my WRX300 for my (current) ideal car ...a 3 year old Audi S4 (4.2 V8) tiptronic, v fast, 4wd and more understated in a stealth bomber kind of way....although I do miss the feeling of the scoobs turbo kicking in and it's fuel consumption was better !:eek:

you think you miss your scooby now? wait till it's time to pay for a service and some consumables! MUAAAHAHAHAHAHA.

(I had an Audi 4 series)

The pain.....the pain!

billyray911 02 August 2007 06:25 PM

Hmm-decisions,decisions!
An RS4 Avant for the hounds would be nice and a RB320 for the supermarket.Oh and a kit car (HMC?) supercharged Austin Healey for Sundays...or maybe one of those scooby based kit cars-mmm:norty:

***Jonesy*** 02 August 2007 06:52 PM

Still been thinking about it and, for the first time in my driving life, im convinced i have the perfect car for my needs. the scoob really ticks all the boxes! And I have plenty of room for the puppy rottweiler in the back! And when im not carting the dog around its got plenty of performance to keep me happy.

The only way I could ever change would be to do the whole 2 car ything again, buy a van for dog and work, and have a toy for weekends, probs a new age sti. But thats a long way away, with this car theres no need to change. Once I get my 300 bhp i'll be sorted !

RRH 02 August 2007 08:28 PM

Gallardo

mervil 02 August 2007 08:43 PM

My next car will definately be another Scoob, got a MY05 STi now, so

MY06 Spec C or Type 25 next then an
RS4 looking further on, then when middle age kicks in.....
TVR Sagaris or a Noble :D

Terminator X 02 August 2007 10:56 PM

Mikkel 02 August 2007 10:59 PM

RB320 a Monaro or a new GTR (if I win the lottery next year)

Scoobyslammed 03 August 2007 06:44 AM

Well, as the Type R is up forsale...
Gonna put some money into my first house I've just got with the girlfriend...
Car wise, I'm gonna buy a 306 HDi estate... it will come in handy for odd jobs, and cheap to run...
I've also got a MK2 Orion I plan to 2litre zetec turbo... Hopefully will be ready for next years show season...

Once i'm back on my feet and a couple of years go by OK with the house... I might be tempted to go back to a Scooby... Pocket depending...

RB5_245 03 August 2007 08:04 AM

My Rb5 went just a while back, I'm thinking..

Exige S
Noble M12
911 3.2 carrera
996 C2
TVR of some description
New Spec C... :D

spec-cie 03 August 2007 08:08 AM

Gonna keep my spec C until it dies ... saving up to buy one of these too: The Ariel Atom
