They're lovely: nice to know that some Scooby owners don't only hanker after 911 GT3's or Turbos. The stereotypical S-Netter's dream cars seem to be M3, 911, Gallardo, Veyron.

Had a Gran Turismo drive past me a while back, the exhaust crackled on over run. You know it'll scream like a Banshee when let loose. Maserati get my vote for the best sounding cars and this one looks fantastic as well.

Depends what you want out of it? Posing or playing?

If you still want to do the track days then the Masa is a bit soft. It's more of a GT than a trackable car. I've driven the 430, Masa, 911 turbo, Gallardo, 360 etc. The best car for real driving though was a TVR Sagaris. Haven;t been lucky enough to drive a Noble though so it the Sagaris may have a bit of competition there.

Go for the Sagaris. Your driving skills will do it justice. Although I think I'd wimp out of going round Paddock Hill bend in it with you. The scoob was quite scary enough ta.

Get one with proper gearbox though instead of the flappy paddle. The flappy paddle is shocking at slow speeds ie when reversing. All imho of course.
