[s-cars] RE: New or nearly-new car purchase

[Trevor Frank]

Stock they are probably a good match, an STI and an S4tt, modified they
are still a good match.  If the one S4tt that ran in the OTC and is
running in the One Lap of America right now is any indication then the
STI's fall a bit short.  Heck we even beat the STI, may be more an
indicator of the drivers though because they had some insane cornering
speeds.  For some reason the EVO's are world beaters, may just be the
state of who is tuning and who is putting big $$ in to the cars, 5 evo's
at OTC and one STI.  At the OTC all the money was being spent on the
Evo's, of course only one made it to the end with the original motor, 2
dropped out on mechanicals and 1 crashed. 

To see some crazy car's take a look at www.onelapofamerica.com  it is
going on right now.  It is a descent indicator of what is going on with
highly modified street cars and how they stack up against each other,
same with the OTC www.opentrackchallenge.com .

Maybe I'm wrong, but won't a WRX run circles around
a S4tt at the track?

M3 is too old, as is the NSX, for under $25k.
I'd get a Boxster, but the car is not really serviceable
without a lift.

Considerably smaller than an A-6, huh?   Well a newer S-4 certainly fits
that bill.  You can buy used M3s for around this price.  A Trans
Am/Camaro would work as well if you don't care about all-weather
performance (goes for the M3 as well obviously).  You might consider a
Subaru WRX-STi when they start coming available on the used market.  I
don't know if you can get one this cheap but an Acura NSX might be a
nice treat, you might have to go back to a '96 to '98 for this price
range but you could probably find one with low miles.  I guess that
would be my short-list for now. --Calvin
