not really sure about any of them except for the porsche and the e92 beemer, talk to munkyboy. he has been in a turbo one and said it hauled arse. not sure what exactly it had had done to it though, but i know it wasn't stock. he'll be able to tell you more

I reckon save yourself the trouble - buy Hannah some jewellery and get something properly fast.

I went the E46. Theres a blown one that comes into work that sounds nuts!

OK here is a nice range of cars to consider some quicker than others, some with 2 doors some with 4, some turbo some not, what would you go for and why????

I'm pretty sure the RS4 is a manual only proposition so it would depend if that mattered to you or not. Its definetly a tough call but I would be leaning towards the BMW's. But it would be hard to go past the M3, 3.2L straight six and 0-100 in 4.6 seconds stock. If you have a family or will have mates in it on a regular basis the 335i, if you dont have a family or are just having this as a weekend car I would go the M3.

E92 335i

I was blown away when I rode in it for first time.

Easily eclipse my 33R in terms of speed. That was just ecu flash thats it.

Wouldn't mind getting one when they're 'affordable' (in 10 years time!).

All amazing cars I'd be leaning toward the E46 or the 335i. I'm not a huge fan of the audis they just look too plain. If I was going to get a porsche it would have to be a 993 or 997.

Porsche :P .

"Por-shaahh, there is no substitute" haha

How many kids do you hear saying "when i grow up im going to get an RS4, it will go with my dull grey suit" :P

i drove my mate's 335i. it's quick. very quick. somewhere near 300kw with just a chip and large amounts of boost. the stock bits can handle it too! but i wouldnt buy one. hated the interior. open wheeler diff. doesnt feel sporty for a coupe.

also, pretty sure it was over 100k. around 130k+

Yep brand new they are. However second hand depending on year model they can be had for $70k-$100k. My old mans buying one once his car is sold and he finds the right one (black in either manual or paddle shifts). A bit off topic but my best mate is taking a new X6 M series for a spin on Monday, twin turbo V8 2 tonne car that can do 0-100 in under 5 seconds :P

Yeah but the X6M looks like a rhino taking a shit. Its also deeply impractical if anyone over 5ft ever wants to sit in the back.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
