You could pick up an OK 930 or 993TT for the kind of money we are talking about here.

Both of those cars will do about 180.

Supercars are a bit more affordable once they are over a decade old and have almost 100K miles on them.

How come no one has mentioned a z06? Can't you even buy a used r/t 10 for that much?

Okay. So? Maybe I wasnt aiming for 180, especially with a diesel. At least I kept a ford engine in there. Dont like my opinion? Dont have to. /pizza.
