Give me 5

[Richf]

You have a big wedge to put towards a gtr for sure

 

The A45 doesnt really float my boat at all

My budget is slightly more but I have a problem where I need a 2012+ car for work reasons. With that said I went to see the below last weekend:

 

981 Cayman S

E92 M3

Mustang V8

Evora S

 

The Cayman was the best all rounder by far and probably what I will get come summer but of course its the most expensive...

 

The 2012+ Boxster might fall into your budget now? Brilliant car.

Love the Cayman S 981, in my opinion the best looking Porsche ever .

Ditto. I was so close to buying one until I started to read the horror stories.

Horror stories? Isn't that with the old 987 one.

So many optional extras though. Buying second hand is going to be a nightmare!

 

So after a few months of BMW ownership, do you miss anything about the Z?

Do you know what, i do miss some things ........ The zed had real charactor and i know its sad to say ... I miss the admiring looks from people . My zed was just a cool looking car ! And people really did love it ! ( if i dont say so myself , hahaha )

 

 

I always new the m3 would need a few tweeks to make it how i wanted it . Spacers and the exhaust mod cost arounf £220 and boy does this make a difference to the m3 ..... Instant injection of soul and road presence . I love it

 

If i didnt want a 4 seater i would have 100% got a cayman 981 s ...... But again they start at 35k up for a good one.

Yeah I meant 987

[nissanman312]

OK so I know this doesn't fit my own brief but I drove a audi s3 today

What a lovely little motor

It left me thinking why do we need any more on the road

 

 

 

But there lies the problem that's all I thought! if the missus had one that would be nice to jump in any weather to go to sainsburys or long mundane journey's with a bit of fun thrown in! A lovely cabin and a genuine nice place to sit

 

Anyway enough ideas like that neeeèeeext

Similar wheels to my Octavia VRS , also as much car as you really need for the road and a great daily, but just not special enough

 

[sipar69]

If you were happy with your Z, there are examples of the Mk1 Nismo available for £25k now. It's a noticeably different look and drive to the standard car and you could put the rest of your max budget towards supercharging.

 

I'm not sure I agree with others that you're close to GTR money. I reckon you need another £10k for a decent example.

 

Sorry to hear about the accident. Is there a separate thread on it?

Drove my mates XKRS when he had it and it was a beast.

[davey_83]

Sound fantastic too, posh sport cars

Ignore this - I've seen your post now. Glad you are ok.

Yes I agree good way off a gtr

 

I'm just sitting back for now something that's right car will present itself soon

 

And if it doesn't I'll be ruffing it round Europe in June

At least I won't have to worry where

I park lol

 

Another z without the mods I had just wouldn't do it for me now I don't think

 

 

[sipar69]

Fair enough. I guess it might be good to have a change to something completely different. I don't think you'd need suspension mods with the Nismo - the handling is a big improvement, but I guess you'd still be looking at the cost of boosting, a new exhaust, remap etc.

S2 Exige S

[veilside z]

Hopefully the right one will appear now we are getting towards the summer. Always best to wait rather than jump straight in and regret it later.

[TT350]

I would never spend any mad money on an Audi. They're so dull and soulless. S1 Quattro and S2 not withstanding.

 

Driven a fair few Audi's. They all have the same 'character'.

 

C63. Awesome sound. Wild drive. My friend has one.

 

A good very low mileage e46 M3 would be on my list.

 

Honda NSX for exclusivity. This thing is beautiful. High mileage but, it's a Honda. And one at the peak of their engineering capabilities at the time.

I might be tempted to consider a Corvette. A lot for your money. 7 litre V8!

I'm sure you can haggle 5 grand off for the lack of handling.
