Apparently you haven't heard about the Kawasaki Ninja H2..

Hah as an MR2 Spyder owner, I will tell you that a 2GR-FE is probably too much power for that chassis, from a sane person perspective. A tuned K20 in that car would already be insanely fast (Porsche 981 Cayman S speed), that would be my dream setup or approximately so. But I guess the ability to destroy the rear tires is pretty neat in itself.

In an Evora though it's about right, 3.5L is a healthy engine size for that porker. If you build it to match a Porsche 911's output it would suit the exotic looks pretty well.

Numerous other cars I'd consider but without goping overboard on price, I'd definitely shoot for a '15 STI.

If I was looking into other stuff with a more hefty price tag, I'd look into a new M3 or the Alfa 4C. Just to try something different.

acro · 09-30-2014, 08:14 AM

I'd. Stay with the toyabaru nothing else in the price range is like it.

stonenewt · 09-30-2014, 08:54 AM

Well as my car hasn't been delivered yet I'd be expecting Subaru to fulfil my order if they managed to kill my car during production/shipping.

Yeah I just looked at it yesterday and Yamaha is releasing a new "Z" model to compete with it but no word from Honda or Suzuki yet I would love to see what they do to stay in the running with the new litre bikes

wbradley · 10-01-2014, 06:20 PM

Used Boxster S or Cayman, or maybe M3. No doubt the maintenance costs would eventually make them uneconomical. A long shot, but maybe a Z4M coupe

I would also be very tempted to replace it with this...

Polaris Slingshot.
