Most BHP per £

What car, (used) has the most bang for your buck ?

whats say the cheapest car with 200bhp
?

further complicating it; most BHP per lb per £ ??

Mazda RX8?

Too broad.
What are you planning to do with it?

Race car or street car?

Road car got to be a 20 odd year old BMW / Jaguar.
Race car? I suppose the quickest thing would be something like a self built FED for the strip or an old 328 for drifting / sprints / circuits.

Not for a turbo'd one. You are aware that they aren't turbo'd as standard?

Would love you to find me one as that's what i'm actually on the look out for.. A turbo conversion alone costs for that a grand!

A neighbour of mine is selling his for £8k twin-turbo manual UK car. Absolutely stunning condition and only 32k miles since 1992 since it is a K-reg. Claims that's the going rate for good ones.
