Once you get over the buzz of being in one they're not really very nice to drive, at least on the roads anyway, visibility is crap because you're so low down and you can't razz it around like they do in videos because of either speed cameras, road conditions, traffic...or a lack of ability - I saw Chris Harris in a 911 drifting around bends on a road test in the UK as if that's just what you're supposed to do, if I tried that I'd end up backwards in a hedge and bemoaning 100k's worth of scrap metal.

IMHO most people would be faster and safer point to point in a hot hatch.
Many years ago I was driving up the A264 towards Crawley and it was wet, so much so there was a stream of water about a metre wide running across the dual carriage way on a bend, the van wobbled a bit at 70, a bit further up the road it bends the other way and sitting up the grass bank in bits was a yellow Lambo, the drivers door was half hanging open and the driver was looking rather shocked but appeared uninjured apart from his wallet and NCB. He must have been tanking it to get that out of shape (I'm guessing after hitting the streaming water) and that far up the bank.

Actually quite tempted be this:

https://www.revcomps.com/product/2022-t ... cuit-2000/

Looks like a boggo Toyota Yaris. Is a long way from a boggo Toyota Yaris! This a hot hatch done properly, modified at the factory - loads of really speci bits, one to keep. Bespoke 4 wheel drive system, different internal body structure, really trick dampers, different external body, carbon roof etc etc. The most special Toyota Yaris you're likely to see (not a big ask I know :D )

Almost certainly the only Yaris you'll find which has "Drift Mode".

Revcomps have 2 on the go for similar things, with better odds, if that kind of thing tickles your fancy.
