I may be in a position in the next year or two to have around £40k to spend on a weekend toy...

For that type of money I could get a s/h 911 or 355...but could get a brand new Cayman S...

At the moment I am leaning towards a brand new Porsche as its a once in a lifetime thing, and must make you feel pretty good - which is what I am after (don't really care if its slower than xyz as long as I can get a kick from owning it).

Anything else worth considering? Would a 355 cripple me come service time?

 

355 will cripple you. Get a 911

 

r34?

 

TVR Sagaris

 

Get a Cayman S mate, awesome cars. Saw a black one at my local Porsche dealership the other day with somekind of Retro looking wheels on it (available from dealers) and it looked stunning

 

M3 CSL

 

Don't think you will get much change out of £50k for a Cayman S with a good spec (for resale, if nothing else).

Thats 996tt money!!!!!

 

Caterham 7 R500 Evolution.

 

911

 

£40k...

 

a weekend in Amsterdam - sorted

 

993 Turbo 4

Or my personal preference - hold out n save a few more £££s and have a 993 Turbo 4 S with the factory 450bhp conversion


Good luck with whatever you choose

 

Two £1000 a night hookers for 20 days.

Failing that a M3 CSL and spend the change on some £40 an hour hookers













Did I mention to get some hookers?

 

993 turbo....rock solid residuals and £40k will get one....(just!)

Or 996 turbo......they can be had for £40k if you keep your eyes peeled and can move quickly....

Or how about a 911(997), these will easily be within the £40k bracket within a year or two...stunning cars...

 

A nice R34...blow everything else away and awesome looking.

Stick to Jap mate.

How about a nice CL55 AMG (5.4L!!!)

Personally, I'd actually go for the 355. Only becaause I've always wanted one

take R34 at 30k, then add after market ecu, decat, pannel filter, uprated turbo, brakes and intercooler at 10k and hey presto 550bhp r34 that will spank most things on the road

 

....but nothing on track, as it's a heavy POS.

Also If you're not in to track days, then I'd much rather be in a Porsche than some chavvy jap crap.

The guy wants a special feeling when he gets in his weekend car, he doesn't want to get in a souped up Datsun FFS!

 

The NSX is possibly the only non chav jap performance car.

 

shall we butn him tubbs? lol


as for track standard r34 is good enough to beat ferrari 360, corvett, bmw, evo, and nsx, only thing that beat it was a 911 turbo new one i might add

 

I guess that for the most part, not many social housing types fancy spending 20k on a 10 year old car, when they could get a Subaru for 3k.

 

With £40k CASH i wouldn't buy a car TBH. Invest all the way. However, if you are getting it on the drip, but you are in a position to cover payments on a £40k loan i would get a Porsche 996 GT3.

 

Absolute rubbish

I guess you've been watching those stupid japanese "races" again.

Of course we all know a 300bhp 1600kg cars is faster than cars with less weight and more power.

 

id buy 10 thai birds and get them shipped over

be your best weekend ever

stu

 

tbh mate, think thats getting to the stage of being true, o well give it 6 months till all the cheap wrx imports are smashed up, can't afford t be run and they should fingers crossed start to get rid of the rep

 

lol, yep was video but couldn't get anywhere near, not all about power

if you can't get power down or hold it then its no use whats so ever.

point in case, fq400 and lambo mur whatever it was lol, even with fatman clarkson driving he still push race driver hard enough to spin out
