Top 5 performance cars under 20k

[AnthonyS]

7 more days and p car comes home. Wife flat out said she doesn't care how many cars I get. Woohoo!

I've known about pelican a long time. I've owned a few German cars just never a Porsche. Serious, picking it up in 10 days. Not sure I could get more serious. It's going to get abused at autoX and a few HPDEs a year too. It's cheap, so why not?

FD rx7 or Z06 will be next car buy.

And when I get tired of having too many cars, I will sell them all and see what 100k gets me.

So much winning.

Sure, if you like having the IMS bearing grenade and take the $4k engine with it.

i bought my 5.3 LS for $300 so im not sure why we are talking about replacing $4,000 engines. this is trumps america!

ahead of schedule, and under budget.

But it has a powerful 201hp 2.5L engine.

that ZR1

[HarrisonTX]

spend a little more and get this 10k mile 95 ZR1

For the same money I'd rather have a 40k mile 427 c6.

[naynay]

he has one, and this is all a pump fake anyways.

hell for that matter, you may as well find a boxter and go do spec boxter classes.

if you're serious about a 944 i'd start here. these guys are all DIY'ers.

I personally wouldnt touch one, the FC RX7 would be more fun, and you dont look like a broke dick who just wanted a porsche badge.

You'd better have deep pockets if you buy a 944 Turbo, even if you do the work yourself. They're always broke, and expensive to buy parts for.

My research finds this statement often. I don't see where it's ultimately justified though. A full timing belt job is $200 in parts, water pump $200 ish. Shocks are priced inline with other high performance shocks. Clutch around $400 or so. It's cheaper than most anything comparable on my ZR-1, but the ZR is probably way more durable.

Ever price SVO parts? I've done that too. The car hobby just isn't cheap period. It's also a fairly safe bet 944 turbos are only headed in direction price wise.

My biggest car regrets are not buying 80s 911s and a Ferrari 308 when I could have. I'd have made a furtune on either today.
