    Currency being used = British pounds... You can get the S2000 and have money left

    I third the motion for a pre-owned TVR Tuscan S.
    Or a Cerb RR

    P.S. I just noticed that that Cobalt is a Vauxhall Astra.
    £30,000 on and Astra. When did you loose your brain?
    Thanks for all the fish

    a Lancer Evolution MR FQ320 (1 pound short of the budget ) but after taxes and options and the fact i cant import one into canada, it wouldn't make sense

    therefore id opt for the new Turbocharged Mazdaspeed MX5 (Miata) but id only be able to use that in the summer so id prolly get some old corolla (yea yea knifeedge and his rolla) for the winter, n pretend im the wrc champion by going rediculously fast in corners, most likely running into a tree, but surprisingly in toronto u dont have that many trees so id prolly hit a pedestrian instead, after that ill be talkin to u guys in prison

    1964 Jaguar MkII 3.8 litre in good condition in Green or White. If any is left over it gets spent restoring it into a better condition. Oh yeah, and it has to have a manual gearbox.

    £30k cant really get you into proper Ulti territory. It could probably get you a 320bhp self build with basic interior and fibreglass. Or you could opt for the £15k self build whereby you have to source all mechanical parts such as gearbox and engine .. but you'd still only have the S1 shape GTR. Or you could go 2nd hand .. which is like signing your life away Recently had a 570bhp for £36k .. wouldnt touch it with a bargepole .. and they recomended in Autocar without saying why it was so cheap. Cough .. fire .. cough cough .. engine rebuild .. cough .. big ball of flames

    I suggest finding an old Ferrari or Lamborghini, nice cars for their price, or a Caterham 7, ooh or even a Lotus 340R...

    Or if you want something a bit more practical, a 350Z, top spec, spend the spare cash on a supercharger.
    or a used xjr
