Other cars to be tempted towards ....

[trackday addict]

Whilst i never ever intend to sell the GT2, there are a few potential stablemates i would love to have a closer look at ....
Currently have a 34 GTR Skyline that i'm thinking of selling & this looks absolutely fab to me !

Bit on the pricey side though !
Others i would love to have a much closer look at are the Noble GTR or a decent Ultima ...

So what floats peoples boats on here as the ideal non porsche spare car alternative ?

[SaucyBoy]

I'm looking to replace my 996 Turbo with the big Datsun next year. However, if I had the money, kept the porker and went looking for a stable mate it would have to be something totally different. I had a Noble for 3.5 years so would look at something as raw as you can't beat that intimate feeling between you, a powerful light car and sitting just a few inches from the road with no driver aids. If I'm honest I would absolutely love to have a Atom 300. The Porker for those typical british poor weather days and the Atom for a summers blast. I've been in one around Brunters and it was an absolute blast!!!!!

Good question. Probably a Ferrari 575 Maranello. Fantastic GT car so I am told

[Red 3]

an R400 to sit along side my GT3

or,

something vintage...

[Crimp a Length!]

A nice 73 911S 2.4 to sit next to my GT2.

I once had one of those, great car it was too. There's something about those early cars that was lost slightly on the impact bumper cars - despite the latter cars being better in almost every rational metric.

V6 Exige?

I had a 1986 328GTB back in the 90's, and like you said, were very limited as a driving experience, but absolutely beautiful to polish & admire.

The one car I do really regret selling is this totally restored Sunbeam Tiger Mk.2:



It sounded as good as it looks.

agreed

went to a big F meet recently with everything from enozs to F40s and 458s/scuds and the selection of 328's there more than held their own in the looks/presence dept.

Shame they are nails of the highest order with very limited capability.

I was a massive 328 fan as a schoolboy watching Magnum on the telly etc. But now as an engineer I can see that they are dogs of the highest order and look as dated as 80's white disco shoes. Not for me thanks!
