300ZX twin turbo Short wheel base, slicktop.

I.e RAPID as standard, lighter, faster, better handling than the normal one, and lots of money left over to mod/keep it running.

If you're gona get a Scooby then it's got to be a 22B or P1, just to break away from the same thing that EVERYONE else has.

Personally I'd have an Audi S3 / S4, or short wheelbase quattro :twisted:

Don't think you can get a 22b or P1 for £7.5k

You could maybe get a S4 Audi... 2.7v6 bi-Turbo 4wd too :twisted:

I meant if you can't have one of those then don't bother. Others are boring IMO, it's no fun coppying everyone else.

If I had to buy a car for 7.5k I'd probably go for a Chimera 4.3 or if you could get 10k together you'd probably get a 500, ok not a turbo but very good fun and although not mega power still quick due to lightweight, lots of torque and a V8 rumble :D
