My choice is a 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 GT. I have been on a steep learning curve about these, over the past week and they were just £23K new as imports in 2005 and around £21K used now, so very little depreciation.
315 bhp as standard, with 420 bhp just £3,000 of tuning away.
Spending £36K on a new FQ360 seems a bit mad by comparison! (With apologies to Jet Black 81). Even et the current £28K used price, the 360 seems expensive.
The GT also has a stronger rear axle and better LSD!
high performance? unless you go to track days why bother ??

you have a point there, bet there aren't many cars that use more than 150bhp of their power @ any time even with a 300+ output - there's massive jumps in bhp needed for every 5mph jump in ultimate top speed after all

It's not ultimate top speed that matters on the road though, (even though i have reached some VERY high velocities in north Scotland, Germany and the USA). It's the acceleration and handling which matters most. But i agree it's pointless to have something like a Veyron, you can never use that on the highway anywhere near it's potential.

Why don't we all just give up on life now?
