well.. i don't know about jonk. myself.. i've driven a lot of different rides.. and while many of them boast ridiculous numbers, they often aren't that great to drive. of course this is purely subjective.. but i have found the cars that are most enjoyable have a balance of handling/power.. the more you sway to one end, the less enjoyable they are. somehow the m6 just has this perfect balance..
regarding the 288, your question implies that unless you have driven every car out there you never can really say what is best, and i agree. and even if one had driven every car, their choice would be subjective anyway. how is the 288? definitely a sick looking ride
and with equal drivers i'm sure the 430 would embarass the m6.
pops has driven and can afford almost anything (within reason) but he doesn't bother.. the m6 is his love. he says he is too old to care about cars/bikes now anyway.. he's lost the enthusiasm.
