I think you can get an older 911 and recreate what they are doing performance wise. Fit, finish, paint, materials, craftsmanship are all on another level, but you could do an old 911 track car for a fraction. Just wouldn't be so pretty or even street legal for that matter.

$90k for a Vanagon is twice as crazy than that 89 944T. I haven't driven a new GTI yet, but they look great and seem to perform very well. Lots of bang for the buck. My only issue with it would be Fwd. I'm not even a fan of 4wd, well except on the Rover.
