WHAT'S NEXT ??????????????????????
it seems that you go up the "car" ladder and come to an abrupt halt at subaru, not that i am complaining or out but, after some think else, i have been toying with the idea of a tvr cerbra or a R34, yes i know two totaly different cars but who gives it my money.
so whats your thoughts on that next rung off the ladder.

There is a moment when you've done the Subaru range to death and can go no further. I'm specifically coming from the classic shape here and not the new shape versions which I cannot stand, and TBH don't see as a step up anyway.
I was thinking along the lines of a BMW M3 E46.

I was gonna say porsche too.
Similar ish charectaristics. Practical and easy to live with, querky engine, great handling (modern ones mostly, unless older one modified). Loads of tuning bits available. 4wd.
Like you said its your money.

What sort of budget are you thinking 10k, 20k, 30k
If your thinking porsches/tvr them it must be a good budget

nah not a prosche, they are boring!!! Unless you get a GT3, in my opinion, porsche have been and gone (as far as looks goes).
R34's aren't too common and are as fit as a butchers dog...

I've had this discussion at work - what gives the same thrills, performance and point to point speed of a subaru - i really cant think of anything.
BMW M3 - Gutless low down and no faster than my Classic on Acceleration.
TVR Cerbera - great but just too unreliable.
Honda S2000 Again just gutless low down
Evo - servicing and higher running costs.
Focus ST 225/Astra VXR - FWD
Monaro - not as tight and chuckable through tight twisty roads.
Clio 182 - FWD and not as fast.
I'm at a loss

For me it isn't a car that's faster that I'll want after this one, just one with similar performance, it'll be a car that's more grown up. Hard to describe.
I did think of a Noble, but I don't want to spend any more than 15k ish on a car nowadays and it isn't the most pratical of cars
Eons ago I was going to get a 993 turbo. I wish I had now instead of a new P1, I could have run it on the depreciation of the P1 alone.

[quote=scoobynutta555]No faster, but no slower meeting your original criteria. My classic is also gutless until the big turbo cuts in.

I Know what you are saying as i supose they are a totally different driving machine - i have the TD04 Turbo so it spools really quick but.... runs out of ummphhh at 5.5-6k just as the M3 is hitting its stride.
I can only think of a 996 Turbo giving me the performance that i want - and one of those might as well be light years way for me

Had a Cerbera, was a love/hate thing loved bits hated it more, sold it.
Had a few Porkers(still have old one). Good but expensive.
Got an RS4 now.
It eats clutches for fun
Will buy a Skyline this year, wanted one for ages now.
