JamieS Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Barring any lottery wins. Noble M14, Caterham R500, 996 GT3RS, track prepared RX7, Ultima or Radical. Any of those. Although to be honest, I'd probably just go for a massive power single Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 In a sense I don't see the F360 as a step up. Drove one once. I prefer mine. I'd like to have a go in the F430 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 pocket change for some one who paints his car with hamrite sorry man dont me no offence Its cool:d You'll be stuck with your Supra forever anyhow Great news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Not sure if it's classed as a step up in a lot of people's opinion as it's plastic like Gaz said, but Corvette Z06/ZR1 and twin turbo the bugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main problem with the F430 is getting out, you always have to eventually. I agree on the 360, very compotent car, but lacking a little something. And not quite as fast as I expected. Still has the magic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Well in my case I am a big fan of driving holidays where by a trip out and about touring parts of Europe is what I enjoy......BUT also with a number of laps around the Nurburgring on each venture across the channel. So a car that can take in long distance travel and also perform well on track and also have the practicality to carry a couple of week's luggage is my criteria. The Supra has done this very well in the past and still does to be honest. I'm guessing the next level up with a very optimistic approach to affordability could be a 2nd hand Ferrari 550 or Maserati as mentioned already. Also a Corvette, but how reliable and practical are these? If trading the GT/practical side for something a bit more track focussed then a Noble M12 (or M400 if prices fall). Or even a F360, (good on track but could I live with it on a daily basis - probably no). I'd have to have a lottery win really to get the type of cars that I am really after in terms of 'step up'.... that being Gallardo, F458, F599, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 a 1972 cuda that would be the ultimate upgrade for me (Lottery win maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 GT-R r35 would be my choice. Plus lots of tuning possiblities makes it even more appealling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 For me I reckon it would have to be a 997 turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 ultima gtr for a weekend car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Realistically but with the effort of saving money, and R35 or a new style mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I reckon a Porsche 993 Turbo. Just as good looking but also classy and understated I consider very little else to be a step up, certainly not a TVR. (though I would like a Cerbera ) GTRs aren't a step up, NSX are nice but again wouldn't say a step up. In the US, Supras are very highly regarded, certainly more so than over here.

JamieS Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Ohhhh that's lovely. There's a bloke down the road from me who has one (or atleast a replica), and it makes me drool everytime it's out of the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Porsches have never done anything for me. Pretty put off by their looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlliRR Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 exterior wise yeah I also like the 993, the interior is dated beyond belief now though, plus you can get a 996/997 turbo for the same or less ££ which atleast has some modern luxury. For 993 turbo money I'd defo still have an Ultima GTR, or a TVR Sagaris - since I've got a soft spot for an orange one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcc42uk Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Has anyone driven a F355? My favourite looking car of all time but afraid it might be a bit slow compared to the Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 V10 R8 Perfect balance of practicality, price, and performance! http://www.4ringblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/audi-r8-lms_1.jpg Maybe do this do it later : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp9876 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Theres a company that refits the 993 interior to a modern standard and upgrades the brakes etc. Classic shape and modern fittings, perfect. Not a step up from the Supra though, just different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopra Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 i'd go for something like this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Jonathanc - yep they are quality cars. This would have to be a lottery win for one of those in my case. Soopra - do them cars do corners or just motorways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopra Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 tbh i have no idea - i'm going purely on looks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
