Interesting thread

I suppose this is a bit like one of the conflicts that will go on for ever without either side agreeing. Its just like marmite, you will not change somones mind by presenting facts.

Although...

Fact! They are all great cars, just different

I had 2 new ages which were every day cars. Now i have a classic as a track day car. Always prefered the looks of the classics and the fact they were lighter. I also like the rawness of the classic. I do find it much more fun on track. Although there is not much standard car left now. I think they are a better starting point for a track day car. Not sure if i would like to drive one every day though.

I wonder if evo owners fight about the 10 different evolutions of thier cars??????? That must get a bit out of hand.
