"slow" big engine car

[Mirinjawbro]

Hello

due to the temptation to plant the right foot too often ive decided i need to get rid of my car and have something that is "slow" so they'll be no temptation to speed.

am looking at big engine cars so at least i have the sound.

minimum 3.5 litre
budget 15k.
ideally coupe but saloon considered
as new as possible for that budget

thanks

Just use a bit of self restraint.

The accelerator goes both ways, even on a Ferrari.

A clean licence is a wonderful thing to have.

Pretty much everything, bar a Goggomobil, will have enough performance to get into trouble unless "you" show some restraint...
Leaving that aside, and maybe some of your intent has been lost in translation, if you mean a lazy big engine car rather than a performance car... take a look at some of the American offerings. Crude, by European standards, but often fun, different and maybe a completely different ambience - might be what you need.

I suspect it's having more than four cylinders that gives the better sound, rather than raw capacity.

Therefore if I were you I'd look towards some small sixes, like the 2.5L ones which were relatively common 15 years back.

The other thing is an aftermarket exhaust, can make it sound like you're doing the tonne when you're just breaching 40.

Audi S5 V8? Not particularly fast for the displacement, fairly modern and comfortably in budget.

I'm going to be so bold to suggest, I doubt it'll modify your behaviour. If you want to drive fast, you'll do it in anything. Ask me how I know

Anything with a big engine isn't going to be particularly slow when driven with intent anyway.

You need a Rolls

Silver Spirit should be in budget!

Get the thirstiest car you can find.

4mpg when you hoof it will moderate most people's behaviour.

P38 Range Rover. Delicious V8 burble, old, very comfortable and retro cool but in no way fast and likes a drink so you'll run out of money before you ever lose your license. Mine's £130 to fill up with unleaded. For feel good factor, neo classic cars are where it's at.
