jackinbox99 41 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 MX5`s would be a fun cheap car. I was looking at them last week as I was considering getting a cheap convertible for the summer. You can pick up an MX5 with MOT, but needing some paintwork for £400 now. Thats cheap! I even saw one with good paintwork for £900. That leaves you a lot of change to modify. Whilst they are a bit of a hairdressers car, they are very popular with track day people as its a cheap way to get a RWD soft top sports car, and they are cheap to maintain. if ther no budget and had to be a convertable whuld be a new audi ttrs faster tan a r8 v10 so the guy in audi was sayn I actually had a bit of "fun" against a 61 plate TTRS when I had my 350z. We both came off a roundabout in 2nd gear at about 30/40mph and we both gave our cars flat out, foot to the floor, acceleration up to err.. a very "reasonable" speed, and we were totally neck & neck. The TTRS just could not pull away from me at all. The bloke driving was not happy so we did exactly the same off the next roundabout and had the same result. On paper the TTRS does 1/4 mile in 12.1 compared to the 14.1 of the 350z, and I think most of its advantage is off a standing start, but because we were already rolling, there just want much in it at all. Not bad for a 10k car compared to a 40k car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
