my experience (for what it's worth)...
integrale (especially the 16v and hf evo)
- fantastic driveability
- more nervous than quattro, but also more nimble
- dreadful range
- very poor maintenance/reliability
conclusion - if you can't overtake one in your ur-q (and he shouldn't be able
to overtake you either), just wait for it to stop for gas, or pull over in a
cloud of (electrical) smoke.
ferrari
- just follow behind a f355 and listen to the sound of the motor. that is the
reason for the car, and is pure automotive lust.
conclusion - totally impractical and slower than you'd think, in day-to-day
conditions. wouldn't own one until i could afford a car to drive on the
week-ends without the wife....
