    I'd probably take a Ford Falcon F6 Typhoon...

    Or a Skyline R34 GTR... And i'd still have money left over!

    Ahh the joys of living in New Zealand. Cheap Jap Imports

    Or maybe I'd buy a Lexus V8 Countach replica my neighbour could build for me

    If were paying in pounds I guess I'd be in GB, I'd get a Vauxhall Monaro for that money.

    Put me down for one as well, and with the extra equipment the F6 has over the XR6T its alot cheaper to get higher numbers out of it. Ive heard someones spent only $4K on it and gotten 300rwkw

    jim, where did you get this picture from? I think its from a garage called HL Gorner in ashton. It looks like it anyway. The dude who owns it lives on my estate. He brings all of the amzing TVR's home.

    Not to mention you wouldnt want to give up your hobbies either

    I think i couldnt go passed some new springs on the F6 either. The ones its got are softer at the front than the GT naturally, but i think FPV couldve afforded to stick the GT's front springs across the range as the F6 has been described as being lighter in the steering and more vaque going into corners, so something maybe 1-2 inch shorter overall and perhaps 20% stiffer would be nice

    merry christmas to you 2, and everyone else infact. even though most of you guys have to still wait a couple of hours, its quarter past 1 here

    Well the adjustble shocks would be on the list as well, i guess the smart idea would be to get them with the springs rather than have to make a choice between the 2. That issue with the F6's suspension though is something that has be torn between it and the GT. Most people who have driven the F6 though say its more of a deception though, the front end tries to tell you it cant take much more, but really it can take heaps more, you just gotta have the balls to push it and it sorts itself out

    If you know what you are looking for you can get a second hand M3 for less than £30,000
