After having owned nowt but superdubs for the past 15 years,I feel the need to have a go with something a bit different,but I need to sell the Golf first!
I've narrowed it down to this small list;
Mercedes CL55 AMG
Nissan 350Z Nismo
Skyline GTR R32
V8 Range/Land Rover
Classic Mini Cooper
The first three wouldn't be the daily drivers,so I would have to budget for a cheap old hackabout,but what do you reckon?
My first choice would be the Merc,as the used prices have dropped like a stone-you can buy a 2001 model for around 8-12k now.
Thats a lot of bang for the buck. :driver:
-
It's got to be the Merc.
The Nissan's would be nice but they are very Max Power :wink:
-
You seen parts price list and servicing costs for the merc? :scared:
-
Got to be the Mercedes, that engine is a beast. But as Jules says the parts are not cheap even though the car may be.
-
AMG FTW!!! :drool: :drool: :drool:
The CL55 AMG is a very sexy car indeed. :happy2:
A Brabus bullit would be my no.1 choice if I ever won the lottery!
-
As Jules said the Merc will cost a fortune to run/maintain.
Old school mini is awesome but imagine crashing in 1?
Would be the 350Z for me from that list. Probably be the newest and least mileage of the bunch.
-
none of them if im honest, but if i had to LR
-
I would get a decent M3 for £13k :happy2:
-
All of those are slower than a stage 2 plus k04 car.
Whats your budget mate and what exactly do you want out of a car?

A CL55 AMG is a rocket!
500bhp, 0-60 in 4.5 secs, 0-100 in 9.35 and a 1/4 mile in low 12's

If its not going to be a daily driver, Lotus Elise it up :party:
Not sure if the lad I have on facebook comes on here anymore but hes recently uploaded a video of an Elise with a 2.0TFSI fitted. :jumping:

the CL55 is like over 2 tonnes though.
Me and wayne have had numerous plays with a cls 55AMG and that was only a teeny weeny bit quicker.

Fair play :smiley:
-
Well,just spent the weekend doing some costing up on the CL55....the cheapest insurance qoute I got was £715! :scared:
Thats more than twice what I pay for the Golf now.
I could have gone for an M3,but I've never been keen on Beemers.I just fancied something that was V8 and rear wheel drive for a change...oh,and was uber-sleazy!
Think I might just get a Bluefin for the time being.

Ditto, drove one on track last week and it was awesome. Needs bigger (better) brakes mind.
-
V8 LR anyday! :happy2:
