Grrrr... Too many choices!

OK - Has anyone ever been able to come up with a reasonable estimation in the difference in performance between an "average" 4.0, an "average" 4.0HC, and "average" 4.5 and an "average" 5.0.
At the moment there's a couple of private sale 450's and 500's around that are at the higher end of the allowable toy budget and the possibility of a 4.0HC which would leave enough budget for doing up the kitchen *AND* the bathroom!
Just trying to get a handle on whether I'd be dissapointed with the performance of a 4.0HC against a 450 (haven't driven a 500 yet).

shpub : You *REALLY* need to get out more! Yoo much Star Trek can make you blind...
raceboy : Well at the moment I have a Vulva V40 1.9Tdi estate but I used to have a *REALLY* quick pre-cat 200SX Nissan that used to turn in 7mpg at times! I've driven some fairly "exotic" stuff in my time though - Countach, F550 Maranello, Rally prepped Lancia Stratos.
jeremyc : I can really relate to what you're saying and that's one of my worries.
fullchat : The 450 that I took out at Fernies at the weekend I actually got out of and thought "F*ck that was quick" - hadn't thought that in any of the ones I drove before.
Ghhhhaaaaarrrrr!
Maybe I should just buy another Volvo? Oh no - I *HAVE* to get a Tiv now coz I have two of Valhallas stickers that would go to waste otherwise!

)

No that's what I would like to do but there is a limit to the amount of cars you can realistically try before Fernies get the hump and lob me out!
I'd love to get a few different ones "under the belt" but basically I don't like following up Chimps for sale unless I'm actually seriously contemplating it.
