Would you sell your soul to the Devil for one of these?

Haha okaaaaay then!
Then I got nothing!

There’s a new American car out, was on top gear recently.
Can’t recall what it was tho, sure they said it was the fastest production car available.
Cheap too, in comparison anyway.

Demon or Hellcat I think.

It's not about absolute power. About 450-500 hp is the most that can ever realistically be enjoyed (and even that's a lot) above that you need to be on track or runways which doesn't do much for me.

So this isn't about absolute performance or 0-60 times it's about something fast an enjoyable to drive about 3000 miles a year (the doesn't depreciate horrendously). It's my hobby really.

I work a lot (I run ATS from home) and Mrs ATS is disabled and I care for her so I don't really have any hobbies other than nice cars.

Alan, you can rationalise it in any way you like, and if that means coming here and saying it out loud, then that’s ok by us!

Personally tho, way I look at it,
it’s your money and if that’s how you enjoy spending it, then more power to you I say!
Dig deep Alan, dig very deep! Haha
But please come back and show us a photo one day!

What did you test drive

May have to go for the Aston v12 then

I drove a Ferrari FF.

We did look at Astons about two months ago, we could even get the wife's wheelchair in the boot of a Vanquish volante. I can't stomach the depreciation on one of those, even a used one.

You’re obviously ripping us off Alan!

But, fair play, lovely hobby to have.

Yeah it's a bit of a double edge sword posting stuff like this and I do think about it before I post.

We sell a lot of wholesale product (to resellers - branded for them) we don't just sell to end users. It's the volume that makes the difference.

Haha Alan, don’t you dare justify your business success to us!
You have absolutely no obligation to do so, and personally I don’t care.
In fact, I applaud you, given the opportunity I’d do exactly the same and be proud of it too.
Well done you!

Thanks it is appreciated.

Thanks.

So Alan Tessler?

Oooh, no thanks they do little for me (despite the fact I find the technology interesting). Noise is very important part of a car, particularly if it's going to be a special occasion car that I intend to keep for a while/for ever.

Realistically it will be something like a 550 or 575 Maranello. Something that isn't going to lose lots of value, won't cost an arm and a leg to run and has an outside chance of going up in value.

I doubt I'll be buying something new again as a second car.

I got opportunity to drive this, and I can’t deny, I enjoyed it very much.
Handling was breathtaking, as obviously was the performance.
More of a Maserati person myself.

I prefer gas guzzling American muscle cars myself. Bloody awful handling but that sound....

 

[Adam_Clap_1983]

Definitely not! I most likely prefer some Audi or Porshe sport car

One of my favourite sounds is the 5 cylinder Audi Quattro only to be surpassed by the sound of freedom , The rolls Royce Merlin
