Hearing a v12 412 T2 (look it up if you haven't heard one) wailing out whilst he was stuck on red at traffic lights was hillarious! The guy he sold it to took the sticker off the back and used to drive it wearing a Ferrari teeshirt and cap. We nicknamed him Enzo. 15 years after Enzo sold the car hes still called Enzo.

[@jeladsnikpoh1289]

GTO's a good bang for the buck, but like most cars mentioned- it's not a sports car! The C5 Corvette is. Sports cars are typically known to have 2 doors, 2 seats (a couple slight exceptions), be light and agile, with excellent handling, at least 'sprightly' acceleration, and sporty styling. Even a Miata is more of a sports car than most of these cars mentioned. I'd say the newer GTO with LS2 is more of a sleeper-muscle car or a powerful GT type. I like the 'wolf in sheep's clothing' theme the GTO has going, but it's too big and 'conservative' looking to be a sports car. Corvette was always considered "Americas only sports car", but they don't advertise that anymore. 😊 No disrespect to the GTO, as it is better than Mustang with strong Corvette DNA!

I don't really know how many C5's are out there for $10k, but that amount will get you a super-clean LS1 F-body. They're heavier and don't have the same near-perfect balance as a C5 but are great platforms for modding. Moving away from those obvious choices, a Boxter sounds like a great pick. I'd just be weary of the roofs; the sun is really destructive where I live so any car that's been kept outside might have a weak and leaky roof.

As much as I love my mustangs, for a budget under 10 grand I’m going with the Toyota MR2. These were really fun mid engine cars that are cheap to fix, bang for your buck damn reliable cars. There are even several examples of MR2 spider cars out there for around $8500 that look great.

On e92 335i you can expect the ancillary parts to fail around 60-80k miles. A very clean 335i with around 100k or so miles can have all the problems sorted for even under 10k with some extra cash on top to tune to mid 400’s whp easily. Also, one of the most timeless and sexy car designs ever IMO. Turn a wrench yourself and this is without a doubt the best car under both 10k and 20k too.
