....so one last fun motor and then it's over. So what's it to be? 458, Macca 12-4, 570-4 or maybe Balboni, SLS, GT3RS or old guy Bentley Supersports?

200k budget. Purely personal toy car for 60 year old streetkid. Slowing reactions, so past it for taking chases from coppers and streetracing with hoodies in hothatches, but have separate workbox so practicality not an issue. Not interested in mechanics, classics, trackdays, or sending the car abroad for a 20k service/tyrechange.

So far the favourite is 458 (currently in 430), but there's plenty of other coffin dodgers on this site whose opinions might be interesting.

A late LP640 roadster or LP670 SV the latter is 40k over the budget though according to the classifieds but wow what a car.

This Roadster is stunning:

I think you are right it should have a 6.5 if its a LP640,but its TH selling the car and never as described,no wonder the price is attractive.
