please dont hate me

wel as the 5 will be going in the next week, time to get a new car,
wel i had hoped for a GTA but i didnt relise how much they cost,
and as i only have 3k and will need a car its not looking good, so it looks like im going to get a c reg 944 2.5 lux,
and then i shal try and save up for an alpine,
i thought they may hav been a few ruff ones in my price range but when you want one there nowhere to be seen

You should bide your time.....you'll get an atmo for that!

you have not been looking long enough, I waited over a year for one to come up, but I did have 5 k to spend.

if you really wanted an alpine i would wait because you will probably get a porshe and one will turn up and then you will be kicking ur self

One will turn up ,wait and see

Have you driven a GTA yet? or been driven round some twisty roads?
Don't jump into the fire !

no never driven one, had my 200bhp raider for the last year or so,
and had a saxo VTR before that

thats always the case. you buy another car and one comes up the following week!!

How about this? I know its got a few days to go, but might be worth watching...borrow another £1000 and you may get it!!!

that looks nice,i would keep ur options open dont just look for an atmo in my opinion the atmo is under powered with only 160bhp and after jumping from a 200bhp gtturbo will prob feel as fast as a bus in a straight line even my gta turbo didnt feel that quick compared to my old 5 probably get a roasting now for slateing an atmo never been a big fan of n/a cars cost to much to get decent power

never been a big fan of n/a cars cost to much to get decent power

go and test drive a TVR...... an NA car........ then you will change your mind.... i used to have a griffith 500..... V8 5 ltr......340 bhp..... no turbo it was like a bullet when it was running that is...... 0 to 100 mph in 10 seconds say no more! and just as unreliable as a GTA

Steve, you have not yet driven an atmo, you cannot comment!!

You would be very very surprised......

hmm, I took out a friends Griff 500, and wasnt that impressed really.

He then drove the atmo and found it picked up far better from low rpms with more low end torque, but to give the TVR its due, the gearing is far longer than most cars so this could be the reason...

I tell you, the amount of turbo owners that have never driven an atmo...

I took mine round to nearly 7k the other day....

0-60 in 4 seconds..... long gearing you need it 0- 100 in 10 seconds... ERRRR I don't understand but don't give me a 10 page lecture on it.... stick to arguing with martin

also depends how old it was....... if it was a pre 96 model it would have had the crap gearbox......which all early model Chimeras and Griffs suffered from.

mine was a HC..... more horsepower than standard and I can tell you no GTA would keep up with it on an autobahn, this thing was FAST the scary part was when it hit 170 mph on the autobahn the steering was very light as the front was lifting off the ground and problem was it still had more left in it ....... but I didn't fancy a dice with death that day
