I think he's saying that he'd buy it stock and whatever was left over he would pump into it up to a total of 35k

Ok. I took "modified" as past tense meaning the car was already modified. Ahh well. Perhaps he can clear things up.

How is that stock?
Example: buy a TT Supra for between $18-$25K and spend $10K to fix it up. The $35,000 figure will include all mods and upgrades.

Example: buy a TT RX-7 with a blown motor for between $6-$9K and rebuild it with the best of everything That gets my vote

if he wants the car with the most potential performance wise id say: for the track/autox---> rx7, s2000, or boxster and for straightline---->supra, evo or sti. based on the cars u listed him drivin before (del sol and miata) it seems like he's more interested in turns than straight line so outta the 3 cars i listed, the boxster is too expensive to mod/repair, the rx7 is unreliable modded too heavily (unless ur knowledge of rotaries is sufficient) so that leaves the s2000 imho
