If you had.
So I was sitting here contemplating my purchase of my 03 cobra and what I can do to it. Now a stock 03 cobra runs a 12.7 sec 1/4 mile and has about 390 hp and 390 ftbs of torque. This is comparable to a C6 which runs a 12.6 1/4 mile and has 400hp and 400 ftbs of torque. Anyway, I spent 32k on this fine car and with about 1800 dollars I can turn it into a 500 hp 11 sec monster. I think my choice was a wise one.
So my question to you fellow dsmers, if you had 32k to spend on a car what would you get, what kind of car and why? Other than the I'd by a GSX do a 6 bolt SBR swap and upgrade the hell out of it. What would you buy?

Re: If you had.
Ok, I would definately get 90-91 DSM. No doubt about it. I think they look cool as hell, plus with 32k I could be going pretty fast. Not sure if I could spend all of it, but I would build up the block and stroke it, build the head, and a SBR 60 trim to go with it. Then the other stuff you know, DSM link, fuel system, yadda yadda. They ARE my dream car, I wouldnt waste money on anything else.

oOoOoO nice one. I'd buy a RX7 (FD) shell which would be around $3k. Completely custom suspesion running about $4k for all the footwork upgraded, 13B Cosmo 3 rotor swap + supporting power and cooling mods which I guess would be around $10k. Redone interior (racing seats, gauges, 4-point roll cage) for about $5k wheels and exterior stuff, about another $5k. Save the last $5k just incase the Cosmo motor wants to be an asshole. Or I'd just go all crazy on a 240sx. Hmmmmmmmm... if you can't tell I'm drift retahded.

Re: If you had.
I would buy either a 1987-1989 Trans Am or a 97+ Trans Am and twin turbo it. I would build up everything all around on the car... Oh yeah... Lets not forget the whole DSM thing either.

Re: If you had.
I would have to go with the Nissan Skyline
 The R34 GT-R is my favorite but I dont really think I could find one under 32K. Those cars have huge capabilities and reach the 800-1000hp level easily with the twin turbo kits. http://www.fotos.org/galeria/data/56...-Tuning-01.jpg One day, I will buy that son of a bitch .

I'd definitely get either a Supra, an FD RX7 with a 20B (the three rotor. The 13B is a two rotor engine. the first two numbers tell the size of the engine 12A= close to 1200 cc's 13B= a little over 1300 cc'a and the 20B has 1962 cc's) Or a S15 converted 240sx. If you can't tell I'm a rear wheel drive fan as well. I think most of the people on this site are into building cars not buying them. The cobra may be a fast "out of the box" but then you don't have as much money to spend working on it yourself... can you imagine a 32K DSM *drool*

Re: If you had.
First of all, I couldn't see myself buying a 32k car. BUT, if I had that much cash, I would just stick with a older model 90-99 turbo dsm, OR and older model NSX and spend a couple thousand on upgradable turbo shit. I'd much rather build a fast car then to straight out buy one. Then with the 20 some thousand that I'd have left, I'd find a nice BMX for luxeray.

Re: If you had.
Alright I would buy the 2005 BMW M3 (that would be well over 32K anyways) BUT I can dream so listen up...lol...I would get a 2005 BMW M3 -Alphine White-with every option except SMG (ofcourse I would get the 6-spd) But then I would get some 19" SSR GT3's (the ones with a chrome lip and anthracite center, OMG the rears come with like a 3" lip). then lowered just a bit maybe 2", then I would get this black colored front lip (its hard to explain, its not a bolt-on, but it looks so SO SO HOT) then I would get some black tints....
I dont think you fella's get how much I love the M3-it is my ABSOLUTE DREAM car! DAMN, im going crazy right now...LOL
