with a bit of search you can find one nearly that price.

before i get the supra i was looking on one at £ 11,000 one year ago.

 

What...a GT?

 

V6 maybe, but I seriously doubt you'd have found a GT for £10k. I spent a fair bit of last year looking at Mustang GT's for Angie. The cheapest was about £16, but for anything halfway decent, they were all £18k and up.

 

The V6 is ok for poodling about in, but it's dog slow!

I don't know if was v6 or anything else, it was on the advertise Mustang GT 230 hp white with grey strips and priced at £10,999 here in uk

I and I remember is well a stunning blue one with supercharger at £ 17.000.

My next project is already decided. Going to save for a while now and get something ive always wanted and put my personal touch to it, by that i mean i will be fitting a toyota 3s-gte with faster spooling turbo, ext wastegate and screamer pipe into something like this

Should give me a nice 600bhp/ton at least!

I would have a TVR Cerbera 4.5L Always liked them and can be picked up for under 10k. I even considered selling the supra for one but decided no ABS, no Trac control and 420bhp in a biscuit tin cant be good for your long term health. I may still own one some day though. Interiors look fantastic too.

V6 then. GT is V8 only. It's a 4.6 litre lump and puts out 300bhp stock. Don't get me wrong though - the V6 is nice to look at - after all, it looks the same as the GT apart from the lights and the bonnet scoop, but it's reeeeaaalllly slow. Angie tried to get one to wheelspin on holiday a couple of years back in an empty coach park. Even on full lock, it was struggling to manage it!!

 

The GT isn't bad though. Not as fast as a Supe, but not bad.

 

As for me - I can't think of anything I'd buy in the given budget other than a 'fun' car. Lotus Elise, maybe?

E39 M5, great car, loved mine and still miss that car now.

 

My brother drove us up to japfest in his and its soooo comfortable but can still give the bpu supras a run for their money.

I plan on owning one when i reach your age :D
