I second the Z! Go Megatron!

You have a couple of choices in that sub-70k mark... 2010 Evo, 2009 Caterham 7, 2009 Elfin, 2010 Elise S 111

mmmmmmmm evo......

Evo - no thanks... not particularly keen spending that sort of money for a car based on a $25k shopping trolley

Caterham 7 - great for the track, but it's not something I could drive every day.

Elise - $70k for a Proton wrapped in fibreglass and powered by a Celica motor? Awesome performance, but a bit too much of a kit car for my liking.

Seems like the Zed is the only one on the list at the moment, unless I want to go back to another Rx-8.

Not had good experiences with the RX8 then? That was going to be my suggestion.

Or you could grab a VE SS Commodore and strap a big mother supercharger on it. That'll get you 400KW and lots of opposite lock.....

EDIT: 44k for an ss, plus 12k for stage two supercharger and tuning.
$56k for 500kw

my mate did that..... except it was a VT GTS..... and it wasnt a supercharger, but a turbo
still puts out 800hp at the flywheel......

Not so much a bad experience (although the crappy fuel economy and constant engine oil top ups did annoy me a bit ), more rather a case of 'been there, done that'.

I was an early adopter and picked up my Rx8 back in 2k3 when they launched. I kept it for a bit over 3 yrs... they haven't done any significant upgrades (besides the improved styling) since then to make me want to go back and get another one.

Hahaha.... nice, but not my cup of tea... not a fan of V8s unless they rev beyond 6k and are fitted inside something European.

Looks like 370Z is the way to go, please don't get a yellow one.

Funny you should say that... what's wrong with yellow?



Seems like the Zed is the car... just doing some final sums and insurance quotes and such...
