Might not be the fastest but it will get anywhere a Subaru can't.

E39 M5's not far of this, could also look at a B4 S4, failing that an evo or impreza of similar age will be pretty quick.

So how an owner looks reflects directly on his car. Your in big trouble with this thinking

What about a Scooby that's had all the mods done already?

I know not really going to have the power of a supercharged jag or an M5 but you may be lucky.

Thought you were selling car due to new business, are you upgrading instead

Rs4 bi turbo, civic type r supercharged,etc etc

What do you want? Hatch? Saloon 4dr? Practical? 2 seater? There a few choices out there.

Started this thread while looking through stuff around the 6k mark. Could not find a good alternative really. I dont really want to sell up, but might need to. Was only wondering if id missed something
