well seeing as you couldnt get a 350Z or S2000 for under 30,000 new, I would probably go for a WRX, which would be pretty close to 30gs after TT&L.

The base Z costs $26,828 plus $2,213 in taxes (NY 8.25%) would bring you to $29,041. Add a couple of hundred more for the tags and title and such and you would still be under $30,000

Ok cool... But as much as I love the 350Z & S2000, I would still have to go with a WRX, maybee throw in some savings & get an STI

If I had the money and could afford the insurance I'd for the 350Z. Plus Greddy is comin' out w/ a twin turbo upgrade for it and being it's Greddy releasing it it will probably be CARB legal. Can't go wrong with that.

But alas I can't afford a Z so I'm saving up for a WRX.

I'm guessing you dont mean new. the M3 is 47k base.

I dont understand why people on this site love the m3 so much, its fast but for its price there is faster.

id get a simple little 32 skyline gtr.. for about 16gs used ( i got connections simple as that). drop in a turbo, and many other mods and still have enough for a 3000 paint job.

but then again, just getting a (s14 model year)240sx q, and modding (including a full jdm conversion) that out would be another option
