Doing that research on real sports cars kind of nauseated with me with the corporate automotive structure and realize there's little to no balance in the car culture. The industry has no respect or integrity in the way of traditionalism. It's disheartening to know the only true AFFORDABLE sports cars are flimsy and underpowered. I've been debating going severely upmarket for a better driving experience but Porsche is a fancy computer and the lotus, well I saw a video where everything beat it, down to a modded elantra. I'm VERY dissatisfied with the car market. In 2 years I been pondering this moment. Which is fall of 2018. When I estimated my next car purchase. Nothing has satisfied my need. My Z has been the best balance between power handling and feedback.
As the tech junkies ogle over disconnected steering, braking and little to no feedback. I ponder and hope for a car that's a mix of several cars.
A Cayman sized car designed more like a 4c with an engine like either the 4c, Cayman or even a q60rs if possible. Hydraulic or no power steering that can weight about as much as a Cayman with at least 7cu.ft. of trunk.
Keep the car around $65k-90k. I'd be all over it...
Well since I can't really find what I want. I decided to just take one final look out in the world. N visually, the Q60 is the most striking to me. It's not my type of car. I'm usually about the DSC(dedicated sports car) but that Q60 stirred my soul in real life. If I were to go that route there would be some things I'd have to accomplish.
BBS wheels
Michelín or Pirelli tires
Brake upgrade.
Intake, downpipes, exhaust, tune.
Sound system enhancement.
And the big one, suspension-lowering... what happens when the Q has that dynamic suspension? Can you still put swifts and Koni in a Q RS?
At this juncture no car is really worth irs weight in performance so I'm thinking. Just buy what I like?!
A Q60RS without PS4 steering costs about $57,000. Not terrible. Almost half of what I intended to spend at first.
Any thoughts on going this route?
