Don't get the 350z, I was looking at one about a year ago and its damn slow, I'm sure my crappy mk4 200bhp will outrun it and thats not a good thing, it looks the part but it felt really boring.

350z is 290bhp / 300bhp and they are not that slow.

A friend has an s2000 and my mk5 gti is quicker than his s2000. Problem with s2000 is you need to know how to drive to get the most out of it. With its liftoff oversteer it can be a handful.

Not keen on the 350z tbh! Yeah thats what would stop me on the z3m, 320bhp through the rear wheels, what ever car I get I'll go on a rwd course.

You can get the z3m in 2.8 180bhp (tuned to 220bhp quite easily ive read, lighter than the z3m too)

Or the z3m 3.0l 220bhp, All for much cheaper than the z3m, all the m's for sale are pre 2001 and for 7kish.

 The 2.8's go from 3-5k, then maybe 1k on tuning.

Why are M discs so expensive? Are they just massive or something!? I'll look at running costs.

Gone off s2000 not liking the need to rev so hard to get power.

I don't think a semi will give the same results

By an MX5 and learn to steer from de rear with 115bhp then bolt ona  supercharger and FMIC and go everywhere sideways in a cloud of rubber smoke.

Either that or buy a good boxster S. S2000s have a great engine but the chasis is considered to be pretty poor, both z3 and z4 are pretty awfull as well, especially as you sit to far back in the body.

Not to keen on the old jap sport cars tbh!

Ill take a look I to the mx5 , what mk ? Expecting supercharger to cost 3k+ so mx5 of around 4k would be best ! I have read that even though the 2.0l are faster the 1.8 and 1.6 are much more fun to driver, more rev happy ? Have has a soft spot for mx5 always had one on forza and gt etc !

MKI or MK2 are best, MK3 is a bit lame.

Keep an eye in here, booste dones pop up for sale occasionally. http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showforum=51&prune_day=100&sort_by=Z-A&sort_key=last_post&topicfilter=all&st=0
