coltboostin Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Well, someone hit the "buy it now button" on the C6Z. Dropped off a bag of cash, and she' gone. So, what's next? WWCR Buy? Budget-10k to 60k (I'll explain) Considerations-Current stable BMW 535ix. Fun, fast, and has been reliable. But, does have 160k+miles Wifes Newed town and Country The HoboEvo- 1000awhp shit missile Another Shit middle (TBD, FWD import) Needs-nothing really Wants-Stupid fast, or fast enough but semi-flashy. Dumped, Camm'd and wrapped c6z garnered more attention than expected. And, I kinda liked it Dont want-another project car. Whatever I do with it I want to end up just putting on miles and smiles. A plus if the wife can drive it, but not at all required Here is my current train(s) of thought 1) Cheap.Fun/Fast + Upgraded DD. (10k) c5+turbo, s2k...ect and a A6 3.0T+ultracharger or S6? IDK.... I liked the Vette, and Lowered C5z look pretty good. Plus, I wont feel bad putting a truck motor in one. Give options here for 10k fast that will take the BOOST 2) DD's able sports car. EX, c6+turbo, C7, Cyote stang+turbo, Viper...ect. (30K). A car that can do both, but keep the BMW for 4 doors and heavy snow. 3) YOLO. Get something expensive enough that I won't want to mod it. If I want to go fast, hop in the Hobo. Has to be flashy or Exotic (got that sounds gay!). R8, GTR, 997 (in that order) would be the front runner here. (50-60k) Opinions welcome in this price range. AND GO! Edited February 14, 2020 by coltboostin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Cheap fun - VETTE DD- 335i with bad turbos bought for cheap then do a single turbo conversion YOLO- R34 or Supra or 997 turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Cheap fun - VETTE DD- 335i with bad turbos bought for cheap then do a single turbo conversion YOLO- R34 or Supra or 997 turbo Vette-Ya 335i would be a downgrade from my 535ix? R34-Nah, Supra Nah, 997 Turbo, mayyybee. To clarify, anything in the "50k" range would have to be Newer, DD' able, and would remain mostly stock. R34 and Supra both do not fit that bill. Also, would have to avoid depreciation as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 You know 4g, you did turbo ls, already have a start on the N platform so a nice 600+ 3 series would be fun unique and still Able to pull DD use. Cost would be similar to a turbo C5 at the end of the day for power level though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Cheap fun: hard to beat a Vette, Camaro, or later Mustang DD: Hellcat Charger? YOLO: I pretty much agree with your order, but would throw the NSX in there Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) This will go well. Ya know me, JP. Anything different than the status quo gets my vote. Rat rod, stupid powerful wagon, something old with a new suspension and what not, Typhoon/Syclone, Grand National, a farm truck like Farm Truck. ...but you also already have "different" so what do I know?

PsychoticGaming Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Cheap- Vette C5 FRC twins LQ4 DD - TBSS w/Twins YOLO - Buy a Tesla and fab an LS in with twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbs3000 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Reading your first few lines my thought was R8 so it was interesting to see that listed at the bottom. The 2 fastest factory cars I have ever driven were a false with ludicrous mode and an awd R8. Loved them both. I'd take the tesla first.

dover Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Stay away from the TT 4.0L Audi is doing in the S6/S7, the turbos fade quick and the cost of maintenance is stupid. If you are "upgrading" from the C6Z, makes little sense to go backwards and get a C5/C6/C7. Why not order a C8, and drop it likes it hot when the C8Z comes out (I sure plan to snag an allocation for a Z) I snag an older gated R8 and have Chad build a kit for it...

coltboostin Posted February 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 N platform so a nice 600+ 3 series would be fun unique and still Able to pull DD use. Cost would be similar to a turbo C5 at the end of the day for power level though From what I have seen with that platform, too much work/Money/issues to make that 600hp reliable- and it still wouldn't be reliable. I can make 600hp with an LS with a 10th of the money DD: Hellcat Charger? YOLO: I pretty much agree with your order, but would throw the NSX in there k My issue with the Hellcat is it looks like a v6 charger. Zero status for your dollar, and for this purchase, that is a factor. NSX- Just too slow, and a bit overpriced for what it is IMO. I'd have to mod it to be happy. This will go well. Ya know me, JP. Anything different than the status quo gets my vote. Rat rod, stupid powerful wagon, something old with a new suspension and what not, Typhoon/Syclone, Grand National, a farm truck like Farm Truck. ...but you also already have "different" so what do I know? Wife has to like this one. Wife wont like any of those lol. Just not a "fast/cool truck" guy either. Just cant get into it.... This would be what I would go for, personally. Hard to have one without turbos.... Escalade with a pair of snails. Something about a fast awd suv just get me all tingling I just cant get into it. I like it from afar, dont want to spend big $$ just to have a fast baby hauler. I want a Sports Car, or an Exotic-ish Stay away from the TT 4.0L Audi is doing in the S6/S7, the turbos fade quick and the cost of maintenance is stupid.

Why not order a C8, and drop it likes it hot when the C8Z comes out (I sure plan to snag an allocation for a Z) I snag an older gated R8 and have Cad build a kit for it... Yeah, thats why I lean A6 3.0T+pully over S6. Similar power, half the price, twice the reliability. As for downgrading, yes and no. I can have a C5 making 800whp and have 20k left over for what I sold my car for. Not an upgrade or downgrade, just time for the next thing.

Mitch Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Jordan happens to have a 2016 GTR available.

My S4 is an absolute blast for the simple stage 1 it is, I've heard doing the pulley really picks them up but I DD it and don't want the problems if shit breaks.. by far the most expensive upkeep car I have owned to date lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS69 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Option three, the other options you have been there and you already have a stupid fast cheap rocket that is quicker and faster anything else for the low cash planted in it.

KentStateTsi Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 There is a dealer that shows up on marketplace occasionally that has some sub 70k oddities around Cleveland. Anything in that price range is probably underpowered by today’s standard but they aren’t common vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
