Golf GTI/R32

Good luck finding an R32 in that Price range. Since they were new in 04 and they retailed for 32 grand, no way will he find one for 10K.

Now the GTI VR6 might be in the range, the Jetta VR6 possibly, hell even a Passat with the VR6 or even the Turbo 1.8 will be just about right.

Also if you haven't thought about it, look at the V8 Thunderbirds, SC's and the Mark VIII.

My Mark has 290 HP stock! You can find a 98 model for 10 grand, and man is it luxurious, fast, and handles quite well!

Word for the MN-12 platforms!

The T-bird, Cougar, Mark 8 are all sweet *** vehicles. I run a mid 14 in my car. I have a few things done to it, but the 4.6L is a very very moddable engine!

Its a stang engine. Just built with a heavier car. They are fun though, and ride like air.

V8 and mid 14's = PATHETIC...seriously why do you embarass yourself and tell us that

Is BMW 3-series pretty quick? I've never ridden in one, but they look pretty nice.
