Quite, it' still a darn good drivers car!

Im feeling alternative.......

Toyota Starlet 1.3 Turbo with the nuts tuned out of it.

Sunny GTiR with the nuts tuned out of it.

Porsche 944 Turbo - you can get some porsche owners club resellers for around the 8k mark and they are beautiful things.

Scoda Octavia VRS with a remap - my bro had one and its was just stupid.

Nissan Silvia also gets my vote. Rare and lovely looking.

Try an Audi too - one of the older quatro's are epic

Startlet (glanza) have **** handling and are apparently quite unreliable
Sunny. I've had one of these and they're **** handling and VERY unreliable
Porsche - no experience
Skoda - no way this is under 6 seconds 0-60
Nissan Silvia - same engine as the Sunny so I'd avoid
Audi - I'd be tempted

If you want the power and speed for that budget I'd go for the Subaru or an EVO.

ps. Avoid S2000's as the winter is coming and quite frankly they're crap (personal experience and personal opinion

)

The Skoda VRS with a map wouldn't be too shy of 6seconds would it?

Be nearly what 250bhp?

Always thought the VRS only had a K03s turbo but i could well be wrong.

A well looked after MR2 Turbo coupe should still crack 60 in under 6 seconds.

The revision 5 (95-2000 IIRC) cars suffer less from lift off over steer.

jigger · 24 Sep 2011 at 02:26

If I remember my Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec could hit 60 in under 5 back in the day.

The older pre-2005 1.8T was a 180 version so would have had the K03s I expect. Remap would be around 205BHP on those engines.

The newer 2.0T vRS will remap to somewhere around 265BHP according to Revo.

No, but I have noticed that Paul Walker has Vin Diesel's face, as Vin Diesel is "in his face"
