I'd go 996 easily out of those. E92 looks good on the outside but has pretty much no balls compared to the other cars, M3 has a decent motor but looks like shit and every obnoxious little asian woman who scraped together $20k for an e46 320i will think that her BMW is better than the M3...

RS4 is good, but they don't look aesthetically good. TTS is an amazing car, i'd put it performance wise better than most non turbo 996's and on the track it feels like it can keep up with an M3, they just handle awesome. Too bad they look like a girls car still. 996 is a good all round car.

I'd go for this for the money....

Or a C63

I'd rather build something that would beat any of these expensive cars for a fraction of the cost but that's just me. This thread was for votes/opinions, I gave mine.

You can polish a turd but it's still a turd. To build up a car that would compete with the calibre of car we are talking about would probably cost a fair bit more than the 70-100k budget stated. Building something that is fast, reliable, comfortable and looks good is not easy especially if you're going to start with a sub 30k car.

Out of those 3 i'd have the C63 all the way, i saw one in person and god does it sound good. Its a Merc which means a nice interior and good ride comfort and with that AMG V8 you can blast down the road into the sunset :cool: and make all those people in clubby's and GT falcons feel stupid that their V8 are so inadequate.

I think you missed what the thread is about.... he can build a quick r32 gtr, but it is still in the dark ages, it's quick.... that is about it. You are not getting the comfort, the stability, the reliability, the drivability, higher insurance, defects galor, unable to use as a daily driver ect....

Anyone can build anything to be quick, but these prestige cars can do the speeds of a gtr and also come with heaps of added extras that you are not likely to be able to or be bothered to put in them. All comes down to what you want in a car, and if you are looking at Rs4's and 911's, frankly an r32 gtr is not what you would be after at all.

If you want something genuinely quick, then buy a bike, other than that you have no idea what speed is...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
