sub 6 second car

if you want to be different you can get a Mustang V8 in your budget.

flibbage0 · 22 Sep 2011 at 18:54

If you have money for repairs (I know some of you will start moaning)

E46 M3?

or maybe E46 330i?

ZG002 · 22 Sep 2011 at 18:54

Nissan 350z gets my vote.

Gaijin · 22 Sep 2011 at 19:06

Scoobaru Impreza or a Honda S2000 would have my eye if I were you.

350Z suggestion is a good one too.

Supra TT

4th gen Camaro?

Depends what sort of car you like really, what do you drive at the moment?

For £7k?

Every time you recommend a car I'm left wondering on what basis you are doing so, do you know anything about whatever it is you suggest each time?

Do this and there is plenty of choice depending on how much fun you want.

Z4 3.0
S2000
VX220
Elise

If your looking at these the 986 boxster has to be in the mix at this price range

Edit: You can get a nice facelift 2.7 for this money or a proper shabby 3.2S

had a look at some of these, vx220 many bad things on forums body/paint, elise cool, was more feeling the z4 an s2000.

Get the z4, lots of toys in those!

mjt · 22 Sep 2011 at 22:22

If my tin-top Z3 can crack 60 in 6s then I can only assume that a rag-top Z4 will be in the 5s.
If you want a convertible, do it.
Alternatively, increase your budget and get a Coupe :cool:

Raymond Lin · 22 Sep 2011 at 22:26

I think the rag top z4 with the 3L can do it in 5.9 seconds.

ecksmen · 22 Sep 2011 at 22:43

I'm not recommending this car as such, but I did wonder about a Saab 9-3 2.8 V6.

£7k 0-60 around 6seconds - 275Bhp.... and only 30,000miles...

Fabia VRS and a remap.

Defcon5 · 22 Sep 2011 at 23:09

What cars have you had, and what did you like/dislike about them.

A Mountune'd Focus ST seems to meet all your criteria

Davefran · 22 Sep 2011 at 23:13

Something a bit different 5.5K spend the rest getting it sorted ;-)

B4 Blitzen

Was looking for the newer shaped one, I've only ever seen 2 both Black saloons. Just found this one, first time I've seen a newer shaped Estate with the Twin turbo

so far cars owned have been
1.1 mk3 fiesta (slow)
1.25 mk4 fiesta (also slow)
1.4 sri corsa c (standard vauxhall quality)
2.1zvh in a mk3 fiesta xr2i (would still have it sadly rust got the better of it)
2.0 sri astra turbo (no where near as quick as the xr2i but less rusty)

i have thought about the focus st, but the mk1 focus rs keeps tempting me... it is a rs after all

. also they've all been fwd, wouldnt mind some rwd action
