I'd like to hear people opinions on what they expect as good street manners for Hi performance cars.
Drivability??
Fuel Economy??
Amounts of Maintenence required??
Expected performance??
Handling expectations??
I'm sure there's a lot of varied opinions on this, Some people don't car if it only gets 5mpg and handles like a pig on the street as long as it's quick on the track. Others have more expectations of Hi performance street cars and what they are prepared to sacrifice in the name of performance.

One driving question is the car used to drive to work or just a weekend warrior.
I keep one car that handles one that goes in a straight line.

I like to have a good all-round combo - go around corners quick as well as in a straight line.
I think around 200kw/1500kg is about the minimum power to weight you'd want, plus shorter gears.

ozchevy, not sure if we are related!
The plates on my old AMC Jeep read "DR LOVE" (my surname). Might have to change them in case I get spotted drawling over school girls and get locked away! The wife wants the plates, she's thinking about doing her ph
