hi guys, i currenty own a z3m coupe, and am thinking of my next car, it has to have simular performance to my z3, 0-60 in 4.3sec and 170 top speed, so i am thinking either a supra or rx7?
i am looking to spend around £20-25k what sort of spec will i be able to get for that money?

and finally what is the reliablty like?
do they cost alot to service, are parts expensive, mpg, cost of insurance for 26year old fncb etc??
many thanks

Probably better off looking at Supra's, but that price range could get you a really nice spec Skyline as well. Have a look here:

That sort of cash will get you a very nice example of either car. A very, *very* nice example indeed. In fact, I think you might have trouble finding a standard one expensive enough......

...spare cash for modification.

Paul over at Whifbits knows his Supras inside out, and is a nice bloke to boot.

Maximum bang for buck though - Skyline. Ugly as sin. Fast as hell......

£29k
its 2002 15k on the clock, 325bhp black sapphire
grey nappa, amourfend paint protection,spare set on wheels and tires [£1700] a set,
one of only 56 ever made and only 6 in black in the uk

am also considering a noble m12, but that will have to be an upgrade, so need to find some extra cash.

lee, the mc has been great but i think it might be time to move on and after seeing what alex got for his from a dealer might be about the right time to sell aswell

No problem, Keiron, I understand, I was just ribbing you. Coming into the summer months, maybe a little topless action should be had!

I'm sticking with my MC for a little longer though. Still cant think what I would chop it in for.

Cheers
