Hypothetical - $10,000 to spend on a quick car...
I am curious about this - and want to know opinions please... Lets say you have $10,000 to spend on a quick car... By quick - I suppose the main measure is something that would qualify as a 'hoon' car... 1/4 mile street dragger, high kw/hp, as fast as you can get for $10,000... Here's the rules... Car has to be for sale now (post the link from where you find it) Modifications can be also added - but have to be listed in detail and priced (realistically - but not written quotes or mates rates/DIY...) So for instance if you can get an EF XR6 for $5000 and turbo it for $2000?? Something like that Very interested to see what anyone can come up with.... I'll be posting mine shortly... P.S. This is only for Hypotheticals/Fun.... no need to argue or get serious...

This would be damn fun, useable for a whole heap of different motorsports and you've still got 2k left over for a quick spray or mods. It's definitely not cheap for what it is but there's a lot of work already done

Always wanted a VLT. This one looks nice, and has lots of mods so work already done. Love the yellow colour. |

Suzuki Mighty Boy for 2.2K, the rest of the money will go on modifying it to swallow an Ecoboost turbo donk, or more realistically a turbo rotary and driveline to suit

Turbo rotary for a bit of fun - 350hp at the wheels, plus lots of cash left over for more mods. |

I have a thing for nice, neat and standard looking VL turbo's. For $7,200 you can't go wrong. Would make a great track hack.
