other 2options were Westfields.
-SEIGHT (basically a 4L Rover V8 stufffed into a lotus-7)
-and the infamous MEGABUSA (which is a GSXR1300R motor in a 480kg lotus-7 chassis....good for 0-60 in 3.48s)
but both of these were disqualified since they are over 40k and not available in the US (except in kit form). the Exige was also out because of the price barrier and the fact used ones arent available.

Buy a used STI or EVO(preferred STI) and make one HELLUVA time attackk car out of it.
or
Buy a used 1998 Supra Virgin condition and boost the ___________ out of it.

$20,000 GS2001-2002
$25,000 Odessy 2005
$30,000 LX 470
