CTR obvious option here
But the FL5 is the size of a GTR, most people don't realize. Necessary to shave off a few seconds on the ring for marketing blitz but a royal PITA on a daily basis. Honda has been dead inside for decades (may change but not holding my breath), only Toyota seems to have something going on with GR, mazda a little bit and the crazy folks at suzuki. A custom-made EK9 could be fun and would cost about as much as an FL5 CTR but it's getting hard to find them in good condition even here.
Basic instinct
The sun is out, I must go out. Any excuse is good for a drive with the top down to bask in the natural light, especially on colder days. Have a nice weekend! This message has been edited by KMII on 2025-12-07 08:43:22 ...

Alpine is a no go, stick only for me, I can drive a slush box when my knees fall off.
So my memory is not completely gone? 😂
Anything else you would be looking at right now?
Sadly not much
Not too heavy (1300kg max), not to big (185cm width max), stick, avail in right hand drive, FWD or RWD (not a fan of 4WD). If you add convertible it gets even more difficult. So I'm waiting, Japanese makers are supposed to come up with quite a few models ...
I take it the Civic Type R is too large / heavy then? 🤷🏻♂️
I have for a long time been a big fan of Japanese cars but lately it’s getting increasingly difficult to get enthusiastic about most what comes from there 🤷🏻♂️ Twice I got close to one of the icons (a friend of mine was offering me the 2002 NSX but we ha...

Indeed I did not realize that it had grown so much 😱😱😱
Been conversing with ChatGPT on some neo vintage conversions and engine swaps. A couple of fun ideas on the Italian front, with the 156 Q4 reengined with the Fiat 2 liter inline 5 turbo being an idea for a completely stealthy sleeper Alpine carver 😂 Paper...
