20k is to motorex not really mods. im not a big fan of skylines because they are heavy like an american car. but, they are the most advance car you can get for under 100k...hell probably under 200k. motorex has cars in stock or can get you a new one in six weeks. thats a lot sooner than you can get most high end cars.
ie. my neighbor has been waiting almost six months for a 2003 sl500
60-70s v8s are nice and loud...lots of hp/tq
the only thing is they cant make a right or left turn or brake

nothings sweeter than beating v8s and vipers with my little 69 cubic inch motor :D
tgf-
i hear you about taxes, etc... back in ireland a bmw3-series is going for $US55k. thats 20k more than what they should be if you judge by what they are going for here in the states
