Hey yall...gonna start to build the Turbo in the next week or so if the dam thing doesnt blow another fuel pump... (gonna strip the entire car apart and re do everything.) So that means i need a new car to play with... Kinda wanna keep it under 60 or 50k and its gotta have some spice to it... I wouldnt even ask this question if i could fit into the lotus...but i was woundering if any of you got some ideas...New or Used... I really dont care...

THANKS YALL....have a great day...

P.S (please dont repost in the general forum...as well everyone is always in the Turbo Forum... LOL...thanks)

 

Hard to answer because there are so many options, the only requirement you list is "spice".
Some things that come to mind...
Cayman S
BMW e46 M3
BMW 335

 

M3 hands down, or even the Z4M roadster or coupe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yeah all i want is Spice and looks nice...no honda anything...

 

Z4M coupe man, im in love with it!

 

Easily the Cayman S, hands down. That is the best of all worlds over the other cars you can buy. Straight line, handling, looks, it has it ALL! Possibly an audi RS4 or S4 though if you want a 4 door, but Cayman S if you dont need the extra room.

 

yep...just went through this myself. Hands down the cayman S. Go test drive one, you'll be done. and you can't beat the current discounts.

toss up between the z4M coupe and the Cayman S.

 

get an old f car they sound sooooo good until they break.. trs are very cheap now days

 

yeah F car sounds nice...but i dont think you can get a testa for under 100k... I am thinking the Cayman now sine i seen the TechArt Body kit for it... thats sexy...but i just dont think it has the stock zest i am seeking... i am looking for a 12 second car... that tosses the M3 and the cayman out the window... as at the ends day if i have to modd the car then i still wanna keep it under 60 or maybe even 70...as i am about to dump about 100k into the turbo.

 

97 + Viper Gts

 

What are you doing to the turbo, for 100K?

 

well the only thing that will remain are the block, spacer and head and thats after being modified... I am going to do it all... I want the bad boy on the street corner... i am applying years of japaness and american muscle building into the german market... The intake system will be redone, the tranny, diff, and ecu will all be in house custom work.... i want to have the car to race in the silver stakes race next november... lets put it this way... i figure i am almost done with the wish list...and when i am done in the next week or so i will start to tear down the car... i am going to use one of my spare garages and start to see the entire car as is... gonnna strip it down....replace the doors with the kevlar carbon doors...have a set of fenders made and so fourth... i figure over 60k in motor work and about 40k in making the car run better with the motor i use... I figure full boost should come on at 3200 and stay constant till 8k or so... keeping its use as a track car and making it a better 1/4...

I figure this...the old saying is "There will always be someone faster and better than you..."

I figure i be the "someone" and everyone else can be the "you" ...

 

Well there is only one new 12sec or better car stock for around $70k.
So that kind of narrows it down to a C6 Z06.

 

you should just buy a very used up 996TT Coupe for this project and sell the Cab. The money you make from the difference between selling the cab and buying the coupe will pay for most of if not all the motorwork alone! As for what car to get, in the mean time, I'd look at an M3 and mod it a bit. Throw a supercharger on it which wont take too long and it'll be putting down 12's easily with very little down time.
