rs turbos spring to mind!: grin:

rs turbos are cool but not much on top end.

Fast Guy

my sister just paid a grand for a real tidy volvo 850R think there around 275bhp quicker than the t5

Benn 304R

bmw 540 limited to 155 and get there fairly easily, prob top out at 160 odd if ya had it delimited.

jamie's

prob a t5, i had 1 a few years ago and it would pull tp 140+ no prob
and could still knock down tower block with it
but they're heavy on front tyres and petrol
but cracking value for money i think

Fastest where?

Round a track 205 mi16 or a 2.0 clio mk1 are both hard to beat, straightline a T5 or a Saab with a remap.

Renault 21 Turbo, can be had for peanuts. 145mph.

Fiesta 1.3 Endura...

Lexus LS400 will do 140mph+ in standard trim and can be had for that money, likewise big old bmw's

Escy

Fiat Coupe 20v turbo, these can be picked up under a grand

focusrrx87

Calibra turbo, 155mph standard.

turbochild

i'd say a t5 or maybe a legacy turbo if you can find one

caprixpack

would struggle to get a cali turbo for a grand but would easily get a v6 one

you can just about pick up the first of the bmw 750s for a grand, once you take the limiter off it'll probably see 165-170mph.

all round though, Id say you'd have to go with a uk subaru impreza turbo - 145mph, 0-60 sub 6secs, out handle just about anything, heavy on the juice tho' if you start booting it about!

Anyone trying to buy a quick car for 1k is skint mate which is worrying when buying a quick car.

Anything fast you buy for a grand will need work or have done starship enterprise miles.

Or be unreliable like a rover/supra!

best bet is a clio IMO as its easily repaired. When you start going for subarus/supras/turbos etc etc there asre going to be big bills ahead.
