Ok, so im in the market for a new car. My budget has been greatly increased due to my promotion a month or so ago. So now im looking for a car thats $40,000 and under, so of course my first choice was a brand new Evolution IX, sounds good, looks nice, drives like a mad man. So I get on the Evo forums and do my research, and I hear that they have alot of problems with there transmission, gear box, ect. So then I look into the '06 WRX STi, it looks pretty decent has some potential, but the inside is just butt ugly and it also has a few problems such as engine syncros. And it also does not have a sunroof or leather :-( Then I poked around at the 350z touring edition. Leather, dvd navigation, but its a 2 seater, which isnt THAT bad but I was really pushing for a 4. Is there no car that is ungodly fast, under $40,000 and wont break down after only 15k miles? Im also leaning more towards the 350z than the other 2 since girls love a nice 2 seater with rims. It also passed my mind a few times to see if I cant get my hands on a skyline, but after all the numbers came out I was short quite a bit :-/

Easy answer.
a 2000-2002 Audi S4. Four Doors, AWD, and a twin turbo V6. Cranks out 250bhp. You can find one for 20-30k. The 2004s and up have V8's, which are more potent out of the box, but aren't very upgradable. The twin turbo V6 can easily handle 500bhp on the stock block with upgraded fuel delivery and better turbos. Drawbacks--insurance, upgrades are expensive, and expensive to fix if it breaks. Or get an AMC Eagle. |
