Aston is probably the sweetest looking British car these days, I wouldn't mind having one, but it's way too pricey...

Oh the 3.5sec 0-105 200+mph 1.3 is the Nissan Skyline (also named by Clarkson as probably the best car in the world. For what thats worth(you can guess what I think of him) :wink: ).

Which Skyline has a 1.3 L engine and goes 200 mph?? The latest and fastest "Skyline", the GTR, has a 3.8 L TT V6. I hope you're talking about production cars... if I have money to spend I can have just about anything built that can go a lot faster than the Skyline with the smallest engine! Forced induction will get me there no problem, but there's always reliability issues when you're trying to make so much power out of a small engine... F1 cars were making crazy power out of 1.5 L or 2.0 L engines, but again, we're not talking production cars here.

And if you still think the Vette is just a "muscle car", lap times don't lie, 7:26 at the Nurburgring on stock run-flats tires.

Any sports car that had a Wankel rotary engine would have to be either an NSU or Mazda which I believe isn't a true Wankel rotary but built by Mazda under licence from Wankel.

Some people get annoyed at someone smashing a guitar!

This is just wrong.. if the guy has so much money, why not just sell off the car and give the proceeds to a charity.. or donate the money it to the red cross for helping the people affected by the japan tsunami.... Karma catches up with people like this....

TA TA will take over the whole Automotive industry. Mark my words. Think GM, FORD, BMW, Mercedes and shortly in the same breath will come TA TA.

In truth, I'm considering this as a runaround for work.

All I'd need is a couple of hounds and a shotgun in the back.
I'd be complete then.

Guys... German cars are the way to go.
We got about 6 german cars. They never had a single issue.
