My STI8 with 440bhp was fecking quick to be in and drive but couldnt neccessarily significantly out run or destroy my classic on UK roads, and my Audi S4 with 440bhp/500ftlb felt mental quick with enough torque to pull a house.
In terms of measuring fun the STI8 was most definately more FUN than my classic, but still to this day the twin turbo S4 was something special in the way it delivered the power and for Road use. I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear every time I pressed the loud pedal - So much torque at any gear, any revs and at any speed. 9/10 for fun factor.
That said the second most fun on wheels I have ever had was 240bhp MX5 turbo. Traction was a nightmare in pretty much any gear, and was bouncing off the redline at about 120mph. But 9/10 in the fun factor department.
Hence I am currently considering a turbo charged S1 elise with 220bhp, and coilovers. or another S4 with 460bhp/500ft/lb. Both of which I reckon should be about as much fun on wheels as you could possibly get on a budget.
