Yes it has a fast engine, but thats all its got going for it these days IMO
but its 16 year olds and still puts out the figures of much more modern and girly WRC replica cars, im sure people wpuld agree the evo 1 looks boxy now, and thats not as old

Thats not what im talking about though, 16 years ago, maybe it did have the looks. But not anymore, its dated.
As previously said, it has a good engine. But that power can be made much easier these days, more reliably and more balanced

I have my opinion you have yours
Yes I would like a ferrari or a zonda but at the moment I am being realistic and I have more chance owning a lotus carlton at some point in my life than any of these, plus there is just something about them that really appeals to me

The idea of a dream is to be unrealistic, hence its a dream

true, but theres not 1 new car though i would have over this, power might be made easier, and it may be more relable (these were good anyway as the engines is well whitin its reach so runs understressed) but there boring, this is proper enginering from the heyday of real world performance cars

i have never looked at a car thinking "oh that will pull women" TBH if thats the type of thing you think about dave, why dont you go and buy a MR2 kitted up as a 355, all the girls will be impressed that you own a ferarri and think you have a really big cock
