Simples - V10 R8

Maybe we need a set of requirements then. Passengers? Load carrying capacity?

[RIV]

V10 r8 I'd love, but got 2 kids.. someone's going to be left on the drive crying

Ah, that pretty much rules out Cayman and 911's then.

Three cars I've driven recently that bought a big smile to my face. Ftype 400 sport awd, the V8 r awd and the M2. The 400 sport and M2 were just brilliant fun. I also drove the M2 in the rain and it was a bit scary but dare say I'd get used to it. I also drove a manual M4 but did absolutely nothing for me although it was a non competition equipped version!
Both the jag and m2 I kept driving faster and faster and they were brilliant fun.

[MikeFish]

So Jag F type, R8 and fun Porsches are out. Cayenne is not a car you can chuck about.
M2 is rear wheel drive.
So back to your original suggestion of an RS3. I reckon the facelift 400ps version should be a good laugh. Lighter at the front and more powerful than the pre facelift. And although the photos ice seen so far of the saloon have been a little underwhelming, I reckon with some spacers springs and decent wheels it'll be a good looker.

Golf R is meant to be fun.

C63 S!

C7 PE

I must say that once mine was lowered then aligned properly it transformed the handling. Note that lowering alone didn't make much difference.

[Ian_C]

Yep. Tyres and alignment make all the difference. You've posted some key alignment info Mike in previous threads - super handy for any potential owners. And I'd definitely recommend winding the nanny-state, understeer-inducing rear toe-in back to zero!

SQ5. And I've proved it's "Ok" on track.

Pork is OK with kids under ten. Borrow one to see how it works.

Mazzer?

Sabine Schmitz proved that a Transit Van could do a 10min lap around the Nurburgring. Doesn't make it a good vehicle though

I actually quite like the M2.. tbh I don't really want to be forking out 70k for a car, rs3 sounds great but is a little wooden to drive.. if I splash out more it would have to be on the Rs6 as I think it offers a lot more for the money than say going pork.. M2 on the the road looks beefy!!!!
I'd give it a drop and some spacers too finish it off...hmm watch this space, maybe I will get flamed for going to the dark side.
