well coZ im getting on a bit and a child of the 80's its really the E30 M3 all the way, the R32 Skyline i like, Lancia Delta Integrale - basically cars from the Era when designers used to muse "hmm.. we need a wider track width, i know... " and then they just stick on a brutal wheelarch extension (a la the M3, Integrale, Skyline, Audi Quattro) - see the connection?
Modern cars - well because I cut my teeth in karting and raced up to Class B F3 I cant deal with Front wheel drive which is why i respect BMW so much for being one of the only manufacturers with Mercedes (which are no competiton as drivers cars) to stick with rear wheel drive
I did have a lush Scooby WRX Type R 2-door about 4 years ago, i bought it direct from auction in Japan and could have been one of 3 diffrent cars but when mine arrived it just happened to have about £10,000 of engine mods!!!! it was according to Scoobysport at the tiime the most powerful Impreza they had ever tested.... it was putting out 350 BHP at the flywheel, i loved that car but it cost £6000 in 12 months to keep on the road! the paddle clutch lasted 2000 miles, the gearbox 6000 miles, it ate tyres, i put so many new parts on it, it went through bushes like mad too... but it was awesome, 4.0 seconds to 60mph!!! I could hold a Honda CBR600 to about 80mph!!! Thats the only modern day car ive owned reeally, all the rest have been MCARS, ive had an M635csi, an E34 M5, an Alpina B7 turbo (6-series very rare), an Alpina B10, an E30 M3 Evo II and two E28 M535i's....
I would like to try a newer M3 but i think they are too big and mine i think will be more fun to be honst, no traction control and all that shit, Id love to do a Blown 4.4 V8 conversion of an E36 maybe... Phil at CPC is very keen on the 4.4 V8 and its potential, like those mad Fins who have that V8 E30 M3 which is putting out nearly 1000 BHP!!! It does 10 second 1/4 miles!!!
So i think i will stick with MCARS.... what about you? What car do you drive now? And whats the best car you have owned?
