I hope you'll all be out supporting your local Irish watering holes. Anyone got any interesting plans?

Wow, that's crazy. So many skilled fabricators popping up on BS at the moment. I'm a noob, but that turbo looks pretty massive. What's your power goal?

All aboard...

I don't think 20k is too bad for a car of that vintage in such flawless condition.

China? India? Russia?

Phew, crisis averted.

sh*t I MISSED IT ASRGGHGSAGHDGASGHSDGHSDGH!!!!!!!!!! Oh well, guess I'll have to watch a grainy ass version on the net tomorrow.

You definitely need an alfa my friend. Very cool, awesome interior, great looking, the V6 is very peppy and sounds amazing, they're stiffly sprung, so will handle well (minus the whole V6 FWD thing) and very rewarding to drive. Relatively reliable too. Did I mention cool?

Porsche has been building limited-edition 911s almost as long as it has been building the rear-engined wundercar, and the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show will see the launch of yet another. The new 911 Sport Classic you see before you has been tweaked by Stuttgart's Porsche Exclusive in-house customizing department, and suddenly our upcoming trip to Germany looks a lot brighter. Fortunately for enthusiasts, when Porsche says special, they mean it – this far more than just a tape and body kit job. Changes to the Sport Classic Grey model start at the nose with a revised fascia and take off from there. Up top, the roof panel receives a double-bubble treatment: a pair of domes above the driver and passenger with a channel down the middle. At the rear, the ducktail spoiler from the legendary the Carrera RS 2.7 makes its first appearance on a modern 911 and is flanked by even wider rear fenders to enclose the SC's extended track. Porsche has seen fit to include some mechanical goodness as well. Under that charismatic ducktail, a new intake manifold with flaps that control the runner lengths adds 23 horsepower to the normally aspirated flat-six, bringing the headcount to 403. Carbon ceramic brakes are enclosed in special Fuchs-style 19-inch wheels designed that evoke the last 911SC of the late Seventies and early Eighties, and the whole package lurks closer to the ground thanks to the inclusion of PASM sport suspension. The interior hasn't been ignored either, with various bits being finished in Espresso Nature natural leather and the use of new materials to the marque, including woven leather/yarn seat panels. Of course, also following firmly in company tradition is the Sport Classic's premium price. Just 250 examples will be built and we don't imagine Porsche will have any trouble clearing its decks – even though it is priced at a tidy €169,300 ($240,702 USD) – before any applicable value added taxes. It may be extraordinarily dear, but we still want one in the worst way. It isn't immediately clear if the 911 SC will be made available in the U.S., but either way, Porsche is seemingly aware that we don't have that many spare samoleans rolling around in our bank accounts. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/02/frankfu...rt-classic-mar/ I need one of these more than I need my left kidney.

They have . http://www.bmw.co.nz/view/5/bmw-5-series-m...an-turismo.aspx

911 would be by far my first choice if I had 30k (on your list). And out of the rest of your list It'd be bloody close between the 540 and evo for me. Get an m5!

From Wikipedia: " V8 Supercars provide the closest racing of any touring car category, with the top twenty usually qualifying within one second of one another." Boring? Maybe you should actually watch a race. Ugly? So what? Do you watch racing to whack off to gorgeous looking cars? Boring V8 drone? I'd rather hear the roar of those V8s than your modern Turbo'd quiet straight six hum. The V8 supercar is just a shell, who gives a crap what it's based on. If they chucked a three series body on the same shell, you'd probably watch it. I love watching the NZ suzuki swift series. It's entertaining, close and they bash the crap out of each other. Who gives a crap if they're 90kw japanese hatchbacks. Fair enough, I'd watch it more if a few different cars were chucked into the mix, providing the racing still remained as close and exciting as it is. Really? As far as I'm concerned, the V8 loving bogan NZ youth is still pretty plentiful in 2010 No one accepts that the engines are cutting edge. It's not about being cutting edge. This isn't formula one. It's about providing good, close, exciting racing. And that's what the series delivers. 450kw from 5 litres? So that's 90kw per litre from an NA engine. How much is your "hi tech" twin turbo, dual overhead cam, all aluminium block straight six BMW donk from 200X producing? About 15kw per litre less than the 1950s lump of iron.

I really like it.

This. Can't really see where you're coming from Mark.

Who would of thought it was possible for the copies to get any worse?

20,000,000 Aussie commonwhore fans will be fuming about this. Personally I'm stoked and I might actually watch more than one race a year (bathurst). I hope all the cars will still be evenly matched. It'd be boring if ze Germans just came in and cleaned up every race. Love to see an m5 with a revised version of the v10 in there *drooooool*

Way to waste someone else's time. I think you've got too much on your hands.

Looks a little like brooks car before he got rid of the shithouse wheels. I'd own it minus the chrome and other tacky crap.

E21 all the way. Or an alfa

Signed. Not because I'm a speedway fan, but because, like everyone else I hate when these nancy boy softies try and ruin everyone elses fun, when it hardly impacts on their pathetic lives.

What a muppet. He's taken two great looking cars, mashed them together and ruined both.

Favourite first person shooter ever.

Agreed. That's a greater power to displacement ratio than the current F1 engines and we all know how much maintenance and care they require. Obviously turbo charging in this instance makes the nissan engine more reliable than an F1 V8, but you get my point.

Cmon, 10k for a 900hp car... anyone would. Hell I'd pay 20k for a daihatsu charade with 900hp. I agree that it's not worth anywhere near 85k, but who couldn't resist 900hp... In anything.

Best I could get was 709mph. Got bored. Any tower defence game gets me. Used to sit there for hours on end in 7th form accounting playing those games. That was the one time I didn't mind accounting class.
