Which Performance Car for £20k?

[gaz1234]

Looking at M3's and M5's but there are others too...

[Slashmb]

Surely you mean VXR8 instead of the Monaro...

The S5 and Rangey aren't performance cars.

The Monaro is not well built/developed enough for UK roads.

The E90/2 M3 is the perfect UK performance car, ignoring thirst.

Is the E90/92 available for £20K ?......ETA,looked at Ebay,yes it is.

I voted Focus RS............not biased or owt

Top notch 987 Boxster S, or Chimaera and E46 M3 Coupe

Very not.

No clue whatsoever what the Insignia VXR is doing there, nor the RRS or even really the S5 in this company.

I voted Z4M, though you only need spend £15k for that.

Completely with you on the RR. The S5 though, what's that if it's not a performance car?

It just seems too much like an E500 or 335i but with shinier badges. Apart from the engine what other changes have been made from an A5 3.0 tdi S-Line? Fast car not a performance car.

I've just looked this up, and £20k gets you the '05 to '09 4.4L V8. It's half a second slower to 60 than my bog standard '07 320d, the slowest car I've ever owned! Why the hell would anyone consider this a performance car alongside the Cayman and Z4M?!

[B17NNS]

997 911 entering £20k territory.

A aorted Tuscan/Cerb?

What are your requirements OP. 4/2 seats? everyday car/weekend car?

[Nobby Diesel]

Why no 996 Turbo on the list?

Has to be the duffer of the range. Diesel or SS would be the only way I'd go. Regular V8 will rape you the pumps and then lube you up for the finale come resale.

Whatever carnation and as good as they may be, they don't belong in this list.

Interesting point. Certainly, the S5 wouldn't be my choice.

Typical Pistonheads.

Shoot the OP, we should have a vote of 100 cars, to see which ones should be in the vote for performance car for 20k.

A vote post only works if you have a Yes / No or True / False. Next we will be voting if the post is a vote or not....!

Jeez....

To be fair he gives no information, no criteria, no nothing, so what can you expect?! He's lucky he got so many votes and some actual discussion on the ones he posted
