I think I would try to find a S15 RHD. I know some the prices are out-reach. But it is one of the best platforms for drifting.

Before i bought the evo i was about to buy a 350z or an STI as evo's are damn hard to find here. But i took the advice of some1 with a few evo's/sti's in his garage an he said if you want fun buy the evo

I would start looking into an RX7. FD preferably.

If i really had the time/money/patience i might consider finding an r32 or r33, but i don't have any of those 3 things so probably just look for the fd3s, lol.

If you can't get a new Evo X, you should get a IX! If you can't get either, change insurance companies and get an Evo X or IX. If you can't change insurance companies, move out of the country and get an Evo X or IX. If your broke get a skateboard. They have the same suspension as the GSR.

GT2, GT3 RS, C63 AMG, Exige S, '08 M3, F40, FXX, Zonda F ......

Realistically though, S2K, just because of the response it gives to the driver. I drove a 350z and didn't like it because it was just so unresponsive and uncommunicative.

Easy, I would go buy an 04 VW R32. Low milage and 0 mods. Then I would twin turbo it, throw some V3 coils under it and some BBS REs and to finish it off put the interior on a light diet (remove rear seats, replace fronts with lighter buckets that actually have harness holes) and call it a day.

I'm originally a VeeDubber, and always will be. Hell, I bought my wife a nice Jetta just so I could keep a VW in the drive way.
