Get yourself a Mini Cooper S
Get an R53 (up till 2004) as they are Supercharged rather than Turbocharged.
Spend the rest of the cash getting it tweaked up to around 250bhp.
- 15% reduction supercharger pulley
- uprated intercooler (or uprated front-mount intercooler for more 'nom nom' value.
- 550cc Injectors
- Racing Camshaft
- JCW Airbox
- Uprated Spark Plugs
- Tune (if US, get done by Mynes)
- Racing Manifold + Exhaust System(Then you can lower it, upgrade mounts etc, nice wheels and most importantly a Big Brake Kit to help you stop on a dime! JCW Brembo kit is a goodun)
Believe me, you'll never have as much fun in a car. Sticks to the road like glue. VERY VERY safe cars, Solid. and the best part .... people majorly underestimate them. There's nothing more satisfying than sinking the foot and blowing away someone in a car worth four or five time the value of yours ;)
- with a racing head you can see up to about 280bhp but itl be another few grandmicrokorg
- True! Mine has around 208hp now. I don't think i am gonna tune it more. Stage 3 is enough.Gizz
- im at 212whp/249bhp hopefully going for some new tweaks soon :)microkorg
- drove a '04 JCW it was super fast. soooooo much fun. couldn't stop smiling.akrok

$10k= crappy old car or a sweet brand new bike
i had a '01 R1 limited edition i paid around 12k for (they only made 1000 of them in the states) took that sucker @ 178mph one time and 183mph another, and thats before i souped up the motor and added pipes.
holy crap was that ever worth $12k, my mistake was making my daily rider a race bike on the track, there went that.

i agree totally, the bagger 288 is the only way to go
- akrok0
- then get the dirt bike rack for it.akrok
- i assume it can carry a 250cc. not sure what's the weight.akrok
- insanely expensive to fix...my friend called his Audi an "In and Audi the Shop" car....vaxorcist
- Audis look really good, but they're not worth the price you pay for, and they don't rime with reliabilityelektro
