I present to you, a challenge!

Pick the best ‘super car’ you can buy for 25k or under. Super car can be fast or exotic type car. 1 car per person. Let's try to make it more than 2 pages before anyone argues about Jeff choosing a stick-shift turbo dodge caravan.

Because sometimes you need mulch or drywall, quick.

Rex beat me to it.



Invoice:
1 S13 Silvia from Japanese Classics
1 RB26TT
1 RB26TT install labor
1 Weekend Warrior Suspension
~$25k

Edit: It's beginning to occur to me that a really clean s13 example can be had for reasonable money from these guys. I might need to do some research on my next car.

You didn't list currency, so:

The above mentioned skylines but in a GTS-4 Sedan.

I feel like Scotty has the answer with the FD, but for me FD + LS = winning.

To meet RJs criteria, I think c6 Z06 is the final answer.

Are those under $25k now? Damn

[Apoc]

Clearly we all missed the supercar memo.

When you get lucky and mileage isn't a big deal, the C6 did start in 05.

i think putting a $25k cap on a hunt for one of those was part of the joke, unless you want to rebuild a burnt-out lambo in your basement over a couple years.

[SlimKlim]

He also said fast *or* exotic.

That's why I posted a turbo Exocet. It's made out of Miata parts but it weighs ~1500lbs, makes ~250hp and the one I posted was being sold basically as a new build for $19k. You could embarrass a lot of six figure cars with that little fucker.

[*insertusernamehere*]

I currently have a hankering for one of these. I think they're in price range used?

[ViPER1313]

I think a Viper qualifies, the Lotus as well. FD... nah. Definitely not a Meeeerkur (sorry Pete) or any S13.

[Apoc]

This is my honest answer. One with a V8.

I guess I didn't look hard enough last night, only saw a couple that were $40K and didn't look much more.

I was also looking at 308s, I feel like they were dropping into the 35K range not long ago, seem to be on the upswing.
