V8 Shopping

7speed · 09-06-2013, 08:57 AM

About 10 grand to much to start and not V8 but has backseat.... Porsche 911.

The new Cayman is in the budget and bad *** too, but no V8 or backseat.

I guess non american, V8 and backseat is hard to find now days.

I would say the RS5. I am considering an RS7 next summer, so you could look at that too. However, it starts at like $105k, so a bit higher than you want to spend. But 560 hp, looks gorgeous, and has more room than any of your other options. It's not a two-door, but it looks better than any two-door coupe I can think of.

All Audi motors that use DI have carbon buildup problems, and so do lots of BMW and Mercedes. Be wary of any DI motor, except Lexus which uses manifold injectors at start-up to squirt some gas on the valves to keep it from happening. Plus Audi won't cover that under warranty. I bought my V instead of the S5 or RS5 because of that, and I can spank them stock....with 2K in mods...I can spank just about anything on the road. And I have a nice backseat that adults can sit in.

It's a fantastic vehicle if you don't have to look at it.

If Porsche would ever bring back a 928 with the TT v8 and AWD out of the top of the line Panamera, I'd sell my house for one and live in it.

Z-Girl I had one here for a long weekend from Porsche. S model and that was a very impressive vehicle. Looks are fine for me, the performanc is superb. You cannot go wrong. It will embarass other 'performance' cars that have 2 less doors.

I had it at 270kph on the Autobahn and had a very big smile
