And then there were some properly brilliant drivers cars. Cars like the Golf GTI, the 205 GTI, the M3, the 190E Cosworth and many others.

Yes, I love the 80's.

That is true, but y'all didn't have the crash saftey and emissions crackdowns right then. Still, little jealous.

I'd enjoy a spirited drive through some mountain twisties on a sunny day a lot more. So, that said, I'd want the Ferrari. If I were to ever even own a track car, I'd probably just buy a Honda S2K and do some work to it. I'd start to feel pretty guilty if I began thrashing anything more high end than that.

I'd still drive the Scud hard, but I'd prefer to have something else a little more crazy for really driving. And something like a GT3RS is still far short of a Caterham Superlight R500 for extremeness.
