DamanC Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Had the supe 5 years now, don't get me wrong, I love it, but starting to itch at the thought of something else. My budget is upto 30k, I don't really want to be spending more. My only real preference's is that its faster than a BPU supe, reasonably reliable and does not have to be an everyday car. The option of going single is also at the back of my mind, but I want to car to be reliable and not have to piss about with it every other week. Suggestions greatly received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I would copy Jamiep's car mate and go the single route , surely if done properly and no corners cut you would have a reliable fast and sexy car . Im quite sure you know all this though . 30k would get a lovely M5 though Possibly a Sagaris , although reliable ? Unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Id buy a manual C5 vette and have RapidGB do a twin turbo conversion to it or build a supra similar to mine, mine has been faultless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 As above, a Vette or a single. Personally i would go with the vette just for something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Singles don't need to be headaches. I don't do the miles JamieP does or throw the same level of abuse at mine, but mine is fine! The Solaris is highly recommended as it's easier to tune (and I suspect easier to help fault-find with). - Cheap - Fast - Reliable ...pick 2! Can't remember who said that first but I say Jake post it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 You should be able to get a new shape (2006) Jaguar XKR. I've driven the race versions, stunning. Would love one, supercharged engines as well. Aston Martin styling but should be more reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
