Future Car, What should I research? Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Alright, here's the deal, I keep going back and forth about what kind of car I want one day. I was it to be nice and at least semi luxurious, AWD, sleeper or sleeper-esc, and be capable of tons of hp. I've thought about getting a ae86 and making it nice and turboing it to make it fast, but I think I want more luxury and AWD. I've been thinking about getting an A4 and twin turboing it lately. I'd be willing to stand RWD, as long as I move south. I'm debating moving to Europe so I can have more choices. And yes, I'm serious. So, what do you all think?

EDIT: I'm no expert, so something I can get help with, and build step by step would be nice. I really don't want to just take something to a shop and have everything done. The intire point of this is to build a fast car, owning and being able to drive it is just a by product.

Twin Turbo A4 = earlier model S4 which were also AWD, the new ones are still AWD but now use a 340 HP V8 coupled with a true 6-speed MT and an available tiptronic 6-speed... not to mention it has recaro sport seats and an absolutely stunning interior. sounds like its right up your alley.

I like light and nimble as well. With a 340hp V8, I could get something like 680-700 with a couple of turbo's? If it's going to be a V8, it's got to be able to run next to 800hp in. Oh yeah, this has to be a daily driver. This is all just for research right now. I look up these cars and see if they are what I want and have the potential I need.

Don't forget the relatively sh*tty handling due to the fact that the engine can't be mounted any further forward !

that's the second time I've read that in forums today about Audi's lol. You and a guy here in KC must have ESP

hmmm I wish I had 50k to spend on my next car. I'm looking at something in the 15k range for the summer, and like I said in my other thread I think it's going to be a Corvette.

For 50k you have a lot of options. Heck, you could even get a used viper and use the extra money under the hood. Or a Supra, or RX-7 (so hawt), or 300ZX, or 350z, or a new Z06 vette, or etc etc.

What about a used BMW 840 coupe? BMW HERE!
Not too many of them out there, and you could make that v12 put out some power!
