i agree with you ben.

thinking rationally the likes of 200SX's and early EVO's would make sense.

but the only one i "really" want out of my list is a skyline :(

having 2 cars like yourself and more than likely being the R33 or R32 GTS-T it might be more frugal?

the M3 is still on my list too

and the mitsubishi legnum

It comes down to driving style I reckon ... i.e. RWD, FWD or a 4WD, i'd say you were more your RWD type man ...

I'd say nice S14 and look to APT for advice on suspension mods, brake mods and some extra Oomph. This is based on my ride in Kev's car - it's an ANIMAL ...

Practicality goes out the window with a second car ... only other thing i'd say is if it's too nice, it makes it hard to abuse it on the track for fear of binning it .. where do you draw the line ... are you better off with a nice modded track slag or nice minter machine

If you go the S14 route then you've got a great trackcar that can double as a drifty machine
