To BillCA.Have you considered going japanese by the way of a Nissan Skyline or a toyata supra.The Reasons being are that they are ultra reliable,cheap to modify so that means more bang for your buck,great handling cars especially the Skyline R34 GTR.It is possibly one of the best drivers cars in the world with its highly advanced electronic systems on board that make it such a great car to drive.after you buy the car depending on what the spec is on the car you buy for 10k to 20k you could see 600hp or more.That means at 600hp a top speed of 200mph quite easily.0-60mph in about 3.5-4.0 seconds.I have the footage to prove it.A car like this will out accelerate and out handle any bmw or the majority of supercars available today for minimal amount of money spent taking into perspective the price of a BMW M3 and how much it costs to customise the engine,or look at it this way look at the price of a
lamborghini murchialago and the performance of that car and compare it to a Skyline.You know it makes sense.If you want supercar performance but japanese reliability that you can even use as an everyday car for BMW money or less go japanese.Just drive one then you will see what I mean,you won't be disapointed.
