have to get one of these, wouldn't be this neat for $30k, but more likely a bit of a track hack for that money.

PORSCHE 928 1992 to 1995, bang for your buck i say, prestige, handling, performance, bells and whistles. Fal-coons are a great daily driver and workhorse. If want performance i don,t need to spend as much. Just outside the box, Suiziki GSXR1000 0 to 100 in about 2.5 second topspeed 300km+ (i,m not going there), and it will blow you away! What sort of coin do you spend to get that in a car?

Perfect way to de-stress, make it a bit more special by lowering it, maybe a Mountune Performance Upgrade. A nice white with blue stripe edition.

But I'd still be tempted to buy back my original Mk5 Fiesta Zetec. Miss that baby :(

I would get a Force8 if I could, but they were a latecomer to the B-Series FPV range...

So, I guess a GT is the next best thing...GT-Ps can be found for 30k, but if it's in crap nick, I'll stick with the GT.

OO nice thought.

928s4 or 928 GTS (although i think a GTS is too dear) genuine V8 super car ran low 13's and 270+ kmph 20 years ago. And real V8 noise oh yeah..

Next model VW Polo GTi due late this year with a 132kw 250nm 1.4 turbo and supercharged engine, if it can do 0-100 on 6.9 seconds imagine how quick it would be with an ECU flash to give 157kw and 326nm!

Not sure if i would get the 7 speed dual clutch transmission or 6 speed manual though, the 6 speed manual would be pretty fun i suppose!

Theirs no blitzing off the lights in evo's, by the time the turbo spools up they are at the next set of lights, I hate turbo lag.

Besides, their lack of features, kitchen hard plastics and annoying twin plate clutch in city driving, is enough to turn me away alone....
