Damn, I didn't know that. Impressive.

I saw a G35 on my drive home today and was reminded of them too. I believe they are just under 3400lbs and are pretty good cars. Good call.

+1 for G35.

One of the requirements is no two seaters.

how does he feel about pickup trucks? a gen 2 s10 can do an ls swap and its a 4 seater...in theory anyways lol

Question, not sure if it was mentioned or not

Why doesn't he want an 86 specifically? I really think it meets all the requirements. If it is simply because it's too expensive used at the moment, tell him to wait a year or two they will be plenty under 20k

FWIW, our 240 (S14) will be for sale soon. But he wants something newer? It's from 1995.

bestwheelbase · 09-11-2013, 12:21 PM

E36 M3 is another good option. I know people get excited about the E46 but really consider something from the late 90's. They're durable, fast, and have great "bang for the buck."

We just found an insanely clean 2005 IS300 turbo with 60,000 miles for $15k. 450whp.
