thanks guys...

[sameerrao]

For approx $50K you can get

4 doors - Mitsubishi Evo, M3, Cadillac CTS-V, 2001 BMW M5 apart from those mentioned above

2 doors - 2000 Porsche 996 or earlier 993s, Porsche Boxster S, Z06 Vette, Ferrari 308/328, M3, Lotus Elise

Depends on what you are looking for in your next ride ...

[MercedeSChink]

speed...luxury comes second, plus i can add the luxury after i finish the engine modding...

[Daggernite]

how bout a RX8, S2000? there meant to be alright

[twboy1999]

m3
c55 amg

btw
75000 inckluding tax,, or before tax

[sameerrao]

If you are into modding buy the Evo or STi or V6 S4 - they are a modders dream. RC45 tells me that there is a lot of modding potential in the Z06 as well.

All will give you an ultra fast ride

[RC45]

75,000 will buy an aweful lot of neon.. :P

[T-Bird]

well first off we have to find a car that is easy to get under to install the neons :wink:
but seriously for 75,000 I would buy a vette and mod the living hell out of it. 25k after the price of the car will get you one fast ass car and it would still be reliable and driveable. seriously now but since you seem to be the one who goes by the badge and a status symbol an M3 might be a nice choice, as long as you don't go down the MB path again.

[MercedeSChink]

not likin the vettes, sorry rc...

the rx8 sounds good, but the s2000 is a lil bit too small for my size

btw, its including tax

[5vz-fe]

STi would be the fastest tho it's short gearing will means u won't be winning in highway races.....

It is prolly more reliable when modded compared to 350z, G35...coz they have tranny issues even without mods. C32, it's fast, but auto, so no fun....and the new S4 has no turbo so the moddablity is not so good, and that the car itself is not that fast either.

[T-Bird]

well if you want to mod a car than the RX8 isn't the best choice.

Well I guess American cars are out of the equation aswell, Because for around $50k you could build one fast ass fuckin Focus RS8

Build-it-Yourself Ford Racing Focus RS8
2004 Focus ZX3 Premium $16,055
Focus RS front fenders (pair) $549
Focus RS rear quarter panels (pair) $699

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires (set) $1,138
Focus RS shift knob $54.95
Focus RS emergency-brake handle $62.99
Focus RS steering wheel $140
Ford Racing A-pillar gauges $75
Focus RS Brake and suspension kit $2,500
5.0L Cammer Engine $14,995
Kugel Komponents rear-drive conversion kit $6,000

T-5 transmission bell-housing $195
T-5 5-speed manual transmission $1,395
Hurst shifter $180
T-5 leather shift boot $75
T-5 leather shift knob $45
V-8 clutch Linkage $49
Heavy-duty clutch kit $260
Focus RS seats (pair) $1,500
15-gallon racing fuel cell $1,500
Roll-cage and racing harnesses $850
High-output stereo system and sub-woofer $3,000
subtotal, parts $39,681
Labor $10,000
Grand Total: $65,737

If you skimp on the Body Kit and other non-needed parts you could get it done for around $50k and If you have any knowledge in building cars you can save a little on labor aswell but I would guess you don't have the necessary skills involved in such a task.

hell that is the best sleeper car you could ever make and I've seen some that have done Cobra Motors instead and some TT versions aswell and they are even crazier.
I've seen a TT one before and the guy said he has trouble racing people off the line because he has to ease at the start just to get traction.

buy a 67 mustang or 69 Camaro for about $20k for a good one and buy a $10k crate motor and pour $20k into it making it into a G-machine or a straight line burner hell Banks makes nice TT 350 crate motors for GM's just throw that into a Camaro.
But once again I get the feeling you'd rather have a status symbol car with neons and wings.

[twboy1999]

c32/c55 75000... impossible

u could get sti, and the mods are cheap.. + very effective

also 350z... get greddy twin turbo.
that would be awsome

[blah]

M-Roadster! :P :P :P

[vexor]

M-Roadster! :P :P :P

I think that goes over 75,000.

[T-Bird]

Nope they aren't that much especially considering it would have to be used unless for some odd reason one hasn't been sold yet.
You can find them for about $26k USD

I see you still haven't figured it out.

LOL@how it will be a Benz.

[SilviaEvo]

M3 would be a great choice maybe a EVO or STI for great bang for your buck

[MercedeSChink]

evo is out of the question cuz its really hard to get it here in canada because of its dumbass law about how the intercooler has a 3mph crash resistant issue...

i could get a c32 right now for 78g cdn, which also includes tax...but once again, its auto=no fun...

people have been naggin at me because the sti has been played out already and also how the 350z has crappy interior and would break easily...

the s4 also would break easily supposedly...also, i thought it was a 4.2L turbo engine!? whoa! i gotta do more research i guess...

M3 is a lil way off the price if we're talkin about a new one, cuz base price i think is at 82g CDN...

I think i'm leanin towards the Z though...i'm gonna head out now and test drive, see you all later...

[Vansquish]

god, modenas sound awful. like a damn fly buzzing around in your ear. leave the shitty torque machines to two wheels. unless its a roadster such as an elise, that by definition needs a small engine.


The previous generation Audi S4 had a 2.7L twin turbo V6 with 265bhp, the new car has a naturally aspirated V8 (no turbos) with 344bhp. I think I'd go for the RX8 and tune it (I'm getting one in a few months, black with black and red interior--unless plans change)

[possessed_beaver]

[quote="sameerrao"]4 doors - Mitsubishi Evo, M3, Cadillac CTS-V, 2001 BMW M5 apart from those mentioned above[quote]

thats a rare M3 indeed,

the m copue was a good idea from before,

my advice drive them all and let you're heart decide.

[MercedeSChink]

fuk!? i just dropped by the nissan dealership and there's no more track package for the 350z...

anyways i test drove the 350 and the sti today...i really like the two, can't really decide...sti does have 4wd though...

[T-Bird]

the STi does not have 4WD. :roll:
it has AWD.
fuck them anyway seriously the best bang for buck for under $50k is the Vette(but you hate them) then I would go pick up a last year Camaro or Mustang and pour the extra $20k into it and have a car that can rape the shit out of most STi's and 350's etc... but I guess you don't like American cars.

[mindgam3]

I'd go for a high specced STI, maybe from a tuning company, not sure what kind of models you get out there.... or an EVO. Maybe an M3 or S4 if you want a bit more style and luxury.

[T-Bird]

well on this side of the pond we get the STi as the top model that's it. And from what I understand the EVO isn't official in Canada becuse of Intercooler issues or something.(a country more anal than the US about safety laws and cars) I get the impression that he wants new so the M3 is out of the equation unless he trades in the truck.

toronto, next time use tinyurl.com ;)

[Toronto]

sorry TT

[KaBlookie]

there are several Ferraris you could get within your price range, but something that nobody has pointed out yet is insurance, which for a car like that (and ESPECIALY because of your age), will be ridiculously expensive.

I say go for an STI or a Certified Pre-owned M3...trust me, those CPO BMWs really are a good deal...they're practically used cars in new-car condition with new-car warranties.

[corvette97]

EVO 8

8)

[MercedeSChink]

evo 8 not available in CAN

[SilviaEvo]

I think I'd go for the RX8 and tune it (I'm getting one in a few months, black with black and red interior--unless plans change)

RX7 is way better than RX8 :wink:

the 350z is a piece of crap. terrible interior, awful ride...not even fast. since getting "chipped"..i've been handing them their asses on silver plates

i quite agree 350Zs are pieces of shit basically what you stated and much more plus my head touches the ceiling and im really short

[noliebro]

you might be able to buy an alright Ferrari 355, thats what i would do 8)

[noliebro]

wow nevermind, didn't see the CDN

[corvette97]

buy a 348 then, u can find those for around 65k, + you can add a tubi style exhaust and so on :D

[twboy1999]

get a preownd m3
well equipt. u are looking around like 69000-75000

new one starts at 73000 base price i belive.

[topgeartom]

yep. Go for a used M3. Im not sure what prices are like, but i think you will be able to get a fairly new one for your budget. You get badge cred, luxury and pace, all in one, rather good looking car.

[oldsnail]

The Mitsu Evo doesnt exist in canada.. like stated...

how abt ACura TL or Lexus GS ...luxury and power.. , ff vs fr though..

[hemi_fan]

evo 8 not available in CAN

WRONG... available in Canada since April 04... went to a Mitsu dealership in March... they had one from the states there, but not allowed to sell it... told me Canadian versions are available in April... since April ive seen 2 in Toronto, and i never saw any before in this counrty in my life... so look into it bro.

[mindgam3]

RX8 is another alternative - good looks n great handling

[st-anger]

350Z... 8)
