Already coffin shaped so they could just bury me in it.

Meets all the OP criteria then!The car was a retirement present and the only reason for sale is that the current owner has a heart condition and his medical advisers have suggested that this car is not good for his health!
I recently did some high end cylinder head work for an old 2.2ltr MR2, the owner put the engine and car together and it's putting out around 600bhp.
This in itself is terrifying to me and there is no way I would go in it or anywhere near it, the worst part of it is that the power output is quite low for the specification of the engine and much more is on the way.
Once it's got some hotter cams and race fuel in it it's going to either grip and wheelie or simply slide and spin round.
And round and round.....

Get soft enough tyres, you will just flip over and land ont he roof maybe?This in itself is terrifying to me and there is no way I would go in it or anywhere near it, the worst part of it is that the power output is quite low for the specification of the engine and much more is on the way.

I'd nominate something from these guys:

Not questioning their workmanship or anything, but they just strike me as the sort of car that'd find diesel/ black ice from half a mile away...

Nah. They're very, very good - predictable, neutral and responsive. Just because it's extremely fast doesn't make it terrifying or dangerous, you want something with inherent flaws. You'd have to be an idiot to kill yourself in an Atom, and you could just as well do it in a fast saloon.Leaving £60k for petrol for the month or until death, whichever happens first.
That Cobra, on the other hand.. That's exactly what we're after, and gorgeous to boot
don't like 427 badges on it though.
Always thought this would wake you up on a sunday morning.

He's talking about putting bags of sand in the front, but I think some kind of wheelie bars would be a better option...
I reckon I would last about 2 weeks in this
