$50K budget...what would you get?

[razr390]

Or you could go for the GNX and that 911, or a nice Cayman.

997 Targa 4S

Sure tagra is amazing but 4s is no bueno for porsche, rwd or go home on those

996 TT
e9x M3
1M if you can find one for $50k
C6 Z06
Boss 302
Shelby GT500
Camaro ZL1

IF you want to triple your budget M6 Gran Coupe

^ after owning a 996 Carrera4, I have to agree.


OP, I'd also consider 997 S, or if you can squeeze out some extra cash, a newer Cayman S.

B7 RS4 at 8250 RPM isn't boring, it's glorious.

...and has a superior interior :wub:

stock dyno #'s are poop, doe.

My uncle has a 996 911 c4 now, awd would kill the fun in that car, he came from an evo mr which he regretted after totaling his z3 3.0i coupe at the track, he finds awd/fwd boring and i have to agree although that evo was fun pulling on highway, which is why im considering either to switch 370z or stang gt, but my gti does my needs better, hopefully ill get a raise soon and get a used wrangler and trade the gti to a used 370z

Dyno numbers are for track cars.

Wow, I didn't realize that car had been released in the USA - any pics? Overall driving impression?

Flat as a pancake in the corners.

accelerates like a bat outta hell.

Exhaust note is deep and growlly.

Interior is immaculate. Steering is tight and dead on. I took it pretty hard into some curves and I gave up before the car did.

We're working the deal now.

If keeping your GTI, and getting a 2nd 50K car, I would suggest something along the lines of a 1999 Viper GTS.
