Whats the best car for a trans continental road trip in; england to prague via the 'ring in germany?

Question

Next summer im planning to go on a bit of a roadtrip to prague via the nurburgring in germany. If i was being sensible and mean id take something economical and dull, but that would be pointless.

Ive got about 3 grand to spend and am thinking of....a porsche 928, a W126 SEC mercedes or a E24 635....

anybody got any opinions?

Answer 1

porsche

Answer 2

You can STILL go to the Ring and drive an Alfa Romeo 75 you hire there from the racing school.  The gearbox is on the back-axle, as it is on the Porsche 924/944 and 928, so the weight is carried 50:50.  The 2litre TwinSpark should be quicker than your 325 convertible.  Not sure about being a comfy cruiser, but the Alfa sure engages you, demands your attention.  Strip the interior and fit buckets and harnesses, and a cage when you can find one, or have one made.  Very little turns in as well as the 75, and the 3 litre V6 models are a little quicker than the 2 litre (which came with as much BHP per litre as the Lamborghini Countach of the day).  I am prepping my 75 for fast road adn track-days, and loving it!

Answer 3

Get a BMW - Mercs don't handle & aren't that reliable, and a 928 for £3,000 will be a wreck.

Be a devil & find a 750i with M-Tec suspension.

Answer 4

all 3 of them for less than 3 grand doin all that mileage sounds like ur asking for trouble...i would take the old shape 325i bmw  fast and that engine is bullet proof.

spend the 3 grand on ur e30 325i they are gorgeous cars you can get some serious horse power out of it. if i was you i would not go in anything else.. my mate has a 928s its quite fast but not reliable.
