im a little bit suprised after reading a lot of peoples comments, i get enough of the age thing here in the uk, reason i posted this on here is i know americans are not as stuck up as us british in terms of ages etc

i dont see how my age matters at all, i have owned performance cars since i learned to drive i am a responsible driver and i just came on here to see the opinions of others who may have been in the same position.

i am not trying to wind anyone up, im sorry if some feel that way, and i do value everyones comments/experiences.

with regards to the tvr sagaris, iv driven one and love it however i do a lot of driving so it has to be a daily runner and i dont think the tvr is fit for that purpose.

As far as the age comments go all i can say is to me age is irrelevant and i cant see how everyone jumps on me coz of it? i do agree that mommy or daddy paying for your car is immiture to say the least but my family doesnt even stay in the same country as me let alone house and i have got to the position im in now with a lot of hard work, took me over a year to just get a financial services authority regulation license to sell residential mortgages so please understand i work very hard and its not a case of parents helping out like some.

Honestly I would say keep the EVO, with a little modding and tuning you can make the evo a super car as well

age doesnt mean crap at all. i got stalked all the way to my house by a 45 year old man a few days ago because i flipped him off after he nearly ran me off the road turning when he didnt have the right of way. maturity > age

ROFL get an aston
Hang in what sort of motoring event? Do you even have ANY idea what you are talking about? I realize this is an Evolution forum, but give credit where it is due.

I would consider the safety features of whatever car you end up getting but I'll assume that you are a very responsible young man or you wouldnt have the opportunity to purchase the cars that you mentioned. I dont really know alot about the exotics but the F430 is very sexy. OR... Keep the Evo for 4dr adventures and get a Z06.

Uh huh, and? Hot laps in a closed environment don't exactly prove anything. At the end there are still lots of cars faster than the Evo, and 4 of them were Ferraris.

yes. by a second here and a second there. thats my point. a FACTORY modded evo hangs with factory ferarri's maybe a second or so off and way over 100k less expensive? im sure for 100k you could upgrade the suspension...

My age i suppose has a huge factor in my decision too, im 19 gonna turn 20 in few months, i feel i might be too young for something like a 911 or aston?

any advice/throughts from people who have been in a similar situation and what they deicided in the end would be muchly appriciated

no offense, but if you are talking about getting one of them cars, why not just one and keep the evo. You obviously got money, so why play games and sell the evo..

Only car on that list for me is the 360... will look like a super car for the next 20 years from now...
