sub £4000 fun car

[bashbarnard]

I do like the rx8s but they are slow!! Ive drivien loads, seem to weld one or two a month atm. I want fast fast. 300+ hp in a car the size of an rx8 at least lol. I think ive ruined my perception of fast cars due to being lucky enough over the last few years to drive multiple cars above 500 hp. This i think is my problem. My mate has a 700hp mk3 astra for gods sake

When you say slow, you mean compared to the others you've mentioned?

It's on my want list and I imagine it is fast but seeing as I've stuck to modded turbo diesels mostly for the last few years I have no idea about NA petrols.

They are fun to drive dont get me wrong but they are slow. what do they have 230 bhp? not enough really for what i want. 

Yeah I be looking at bmw/merc or saab turbos etc

4k buy you a LOT. Buy a nice 200sx etc so many options.

First decide... 2/4/rwd then turbo or non... Etc etc

I think due to the power levels i would actually be looking at rwd/4wd would be better suited, but again thats my personal opinion 

ok, so the 6 is out of the question...

Why not a kit car? Not a caterham 7 wanna be, but something different. I have seen quite a few nice ones on the bay for well under 4k, meaning you have loads of scope for modifications to make it exactly what you want.

hmmm i do like the idea of a kit car. super light could have pack a hefty punch id say. ive never ever driven a kit car though. always wondered are they really worth it?

you can get a 2.3 hot aero 250 bhp for about a grand, dpend the rest on trying to make it handle and put a stage 1 map on it.

thats actually a fair shout tbh they are what i would call fun i look after a few at work for people. i think it would definatly need a touch more power but there would be room left in the budget with that. 

need to start getting my saving pants on really dont I
