25 K. Fast car , what are you buying ?

[fastfredracing]

I need something to fill the void in my life .
Im putting my sc back on the road , but modern caravans walk away from that car .
you can land a 997 in that range, but it will be a high mile silver automatic convertible .
Im thinking early z 06 is the answer .
What would tickle your fancy ?

944 turbo s is a rocket for the money, and will still go around a corner faster than cars 30 years younger.

Good suggestion but I already have an old boosted p car in my fleet . I mean faast car

I was going to write and recommend an RX 7 like my Dad had...1993 ish.

So I looked and got a little queasy: When I sold it it went for about a tenth of what is listed here:

I do like the convertible the link.

I like Z06 idea.

A cheap hoonmobile could be a Hemi charger with AWD. Never driven in one but the specs are killer. They are also practically invisible.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Usual suspects, LT1 Camaro, older Z06, lots of Mustangs.

I'd consider an M3 though not sure what you can get for $25K. Copart might be your friend in that regard.

Im actually not really leaning german this time .BMW and I have broken up

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Then an early 90s ZR1 might be the perfect car. And they are appreciating. I really like the early beltline styling cars.

[Chocaholic]

A John Cooper Works Mini would be a hoot and are still available with 3 pedals (I think). Fast as hell, corner like a slot car and will fit in a tight garage with room to spare. Just a thought...(although your BMW divorce could play into that decision).

How about an '02 Silverado with a 4.8 Vortec! Now that would tickle my fancy!

Corvette is your best dollar per mile per hour bet

[rfuerst911sc]

The Corvette seems to be a lot of bang for the buck . Like all cars it has some faults but none are show stoppers . Just like a Porsche the advice is buy the latest cleanest model you can .

Being a mechanic you obviously have the skill set to weed out a bad one . Drive a few , find the one that speaks to you and place your bet 😋. Keep us posted on the journey . Good luck 👍

I am considering selling my '10 GTS and getting a '10 Turbo or Turbo S. Probably this spring.

[fastfredracing]

I got sick of the upkeep on our Cayenne . It was faaast though . I used to love walking away from EVERYTHING at stop lights . Not that many cars on the road can hang with one
No trucks or SUV's. ( well, maybe an 02 silverado with a 4.8)

[GG Allin]

E55 or CLK55

I agree, but I think he was referring to his 2004 Cayenne Turbo when he said upthread that he already has a boosted Porsche. Then again, I see nothing wrong with a silver 997 tip, so we're probably on different wavelengths.

If he's really looking for the uncharted waters speed, I suggest the Jaguar F-type, Works MINI or Fiat 500 Abarth.

Or to really go rogue - Tesla Model S, which should offer a fast, completely new, driving experience.

[aschen]

can get a mint condition couple year old ND2 miata in that range as well, fast might be a stretch but certainly not slow. A pleasure to drive as a sports car and won't need any real maintenance.
