Yes I agree..but can you take three good looking females for a cruise in the BDR..

Guess I should say I go for the ride with them. Life in Anne's hands when she's behind the wheel...

G'day fellas,

How about a Noble or Corvette Z06? The Noble would break the 75K limit a bit but the Z06 would be in the neighborhood.

I had the opportunity to take a spin in a Noble when at the London Ohio Cobra event a year or so back. It was fun and very quick through the road course.

Yes agree it would be a good buy. Nice looking also.

I am fortunate enough to also own a Noble M400. Although this car will certainly break the $75K budget by quite a bit it is absolutely the most phenominal performing car I have ever driven. I track the car frequently. I have not encountered a street legal car that can touch the performance of this car on a road course. I have a number friends that drive Z06s and that would probably be the best track car that fits within the $75K limitation.

Rich,

I had the good fortune to start and drive a new Corvette off the assembly line at Bowling Green, Kentucky. I was over at the Corvette Museum and headed across for the 1.30pm tour. The plant is about 2 minutes away from the museum.

Being the only Australian there, I was a bit of a novelty and they had me start the car as it reached the end of the assembly line.

Oncstarted it then went onto a roller where all engine limits were tested etc.

The tour guide went on about how reasonable the Corvette was at $45,000. Mmm they sell for $150,000 here - amazing what stamp duty, import duty,customs will do to protect our local market..
