Oooohh, that is very,very nice. Black on tan leather.  Mmmmmm. 

 

Now where is that lottery ticket! 

It's only got 345bhp (350PS). At least it's £50 under budget, be able to put about 35 litres of fuel in it I suppose.:D

"Only"? :D

 

It will do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and top out at 177mph.

 

Stage 1 fettling (I know you like remaps) runs 420hp and 530nm.

10 Year old Nissan GTR 493bhp standard.:blink:193MPH.

 

I wouldn't want to spend 50k on a 10 year old Nissan, but each to their own.

Had a chat with a Revo guy today - he was dropping off advertising material at my Indy in a 530bhp Golf R. 

 

He reckons my 220bhp vRS would be circa 330bhp with a Revo Stage 1 - normally £500 plus VAT but my Indy will arrange it for me for £500. 

 

Now, that’s tempting (if it is to be believed) !!

 

Thoughts? 

 

(Apologies for the thread hijack, but it had drifted onto remaps!!)

But if I had 330bhp, what would happen to the 302bhp shy-mobile! You’d have to upgrade!!  ;-)

Already in the pipeline. Parts ordered, should be 350-370bhp within a month, so don't worry 180mph top speed next month.:inlove:

Excellent! 

 

We should start a new thread and leave this one for £50k sports cars.  

 

@EddGee Apologies to the OP.

Been on Autotrader so 2014 GTR 542BHP, 46,000miles, 196MPH and 0-60mph in 2.8seconds and only £48,795. I win this game of TOP TRUMPS it would seem.:D

Speed: Used R35 Nissan GT-R.

 

Fun/handling: Lightly used Apline A110.

 

The latter is a brilliant car and while they were £51,800 new there were only 140.  So prices are £55-60k currently.

But I know of a car for £50k, so it's within budget.  300+kg lighter than a baby Porsche.  Fun at any speed.

Ideally you want the 11 plate onwards.  The facelift cars with the DRLs in the front bumper are much better with a lot of improvements.

Bigger brakes, better cooling, more downforce, less rigid suspension etc...
