[dave289]

how about a second hand fg xr6t.

[JC807]

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.

Thats sweet Matt. I want!!!!

[Psi-Pop]

1988 Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth

Have to take the 4 door option as the 3 Door RS's are still over 30k.

[tezxr8man]

TS50 no question

[ZDI-970]

xp coupe would be my first choice... and for 30k it would be a v8 and in good condition!

[Bushbasher]

.




T2 TL50




.

[SSD-85]

30 grand you say? 1963 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop. No question.

[MexicanBatman]

motorbikes

bugger the car, i'd get me some more bikes

[drew`SEVNT5]

Alfa 147GTA with Q2 LSD upgrade and coilovers.

Or.

A Ducati 1198 or Streetfighter

[TUF_302]

Id try and get a very nice XD/E with a 351 clevo in it, or maybe an EB/EL GT, thats if there is any left under 30g lol, or a later model 4WD, like a Patrol with all the bells and whistles

[Spudz27]

I would buy an 93/94 ED Futura like this one I am looking at now

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...spx?R=8566508&

[bernadette86]

quite easy decision F6 TYPHOON.

[Elks]

T2 TL50 in Meteorite to sit with the other Garage queen..

[FGX-351]

T3 TS50 in blueprint.

[DJM83]

Plenty of T Series lovers in here good to see.

[Pis-ton broke]

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?

[bangm001]

F6 typhoon anyday!

A used MK6 Fiesta XR4. The perfect partner in crime for my MK7 Fiesta Zetec. The Zetec would be the daily drive, it's got all the gadgets to carry out normal daily duties, but the XR4 would be my little weekend weapon. 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'm with you...

[uranium_death]

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..

[234FPV]

XA Coupe.

[Stoney!]

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!

Stoney!

[ajxr8]

evo 8 no doubt mate if u want a car to carry family and friends and blitz most from the lights and through the twisties

[Stoney!]

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....

Stoney!
