If you were to pick a used "High end" Sports car what would you pick?

Really tough decision...just trying to get advice and see what others think. Sometimes hearing something bounced off of someone else makes it more clear.

I would make sure you give those teenage dreams a chance with strongly considering that FD choice.


I am with you on The NSX it is a thing of beauty @King Tut I would love to own one.

Because this

I am so over the LS swaps especially in newer chassis. If you want to do an LS swap then get an older and lighter FB or FC chassis. I think an RX8 R3 with an LS swap might push his $45k budget though.

FB or FC doesn't have a back seat. I know it doesn't matter to OP, but I'd take it into consideration for myself.

I think he could get in well under 45k though. I looked at an R3 last year with low miles. They were asking 18k for it. That's a lot of money to play with for mods.

Bah, he isn't having kids for 3 years. No need for four doors. Does that get you A/C, power steering, and a working RX-8 gauge cluster? Some of the issues that pop up on motor swaps.

Well, like I said, it doesn't really matter to him. But three years goes by fast. And if OP really only wants a sports car for 3 years go out and lease the most expensive, fastest thing he can afford IMO.

The Togue Factory car in the picture didn't have AC if I remember correctly. But they built it for a dealership who was reselling it for an ungodly amount of money, and they said AC was working at that point. The kits out now do have working AC. Gauge cluster I don't know. I think Hinson supposedly had a solution, which is the kit that TF used (and had to modify a bit) but there are a handful of others out there working on it now. So my answer to that, since I haven't looked into it in a while, is simply "dunno."
