hmm, I personally would say a Lotus Elise is a drivers car, a Porsche 911 is a hairdresser's car, a Mitsubishi Evo however, is not. It does everything for you.

Yes its a fast car, but its fast with no real skill needed - which IMHO is the opposite of a drivers car.

there, thats more like it

They don't get much more beautiful and iconic that this:



Was taken for a ride in one when I was 13 by a friend of the family and was totally smitten.

I can't sort out a picture from here, but don't forget the Alfasud. Fabulous little motor.

There you go

To give yourself perspective, it's probably a good idea to own one of these at least once (or something similar).

Stop being a tiny lying baby baby.
Ive owned and Evo and a 911 and I was bemoaning the fact just yesterday that the 911 fails to thrill in the same way that the Evo did. And it does nothing for you.#If you turn the Steering wheel the car goes that way, if you press the accelerator etc etc

[Jag-D]

I can't be arsed digging out photos at the moment, but my list agrees with most on here:


Porsche 944
Porsche 911

BMW M5 E34/E39

Ford Escort RS1800 Mk2
Ford Fiesta Supersport (retro goodness)

VW Golf Mk1 GTi & Mk2 GTi

Dodge Charger & Challenger 440RT

Plymouth Barracuda/Hemi Cuda

Jaguar XJR

Lancia Delta Integrale

Volvo 142/242 with B234 Turbo

Bentley Arnage T/Brooklands

Chevrolet Camaro 1969 SS/RS

Probably more, can't be arsed to think

because its a 996 or because its a C4

[sleep envy]

C4

[blindswelledrat]

Possibly. Its just I cant live with the noise of the older ones and didnt want to get a better one until I knew I liked them generally. Im hoping it will grow on me

sorry, you called who a baby baby?

[blindswelledrat]

C4

As opposed to a C2?
Barely any difference. Ive driven enough c2's, and perhaps on a track you might notice a slight difference but not on the road as a day to day driver
