If it was my money, I'd go for the K1 attack. Don't know if it could be done within the 12K budget but I'd definitely try. 
That is one damn sexy motor.
I'll go see if I can find a link..............................

I agree, the K1 Attack is lovely, but the basic kit price is £12,500 ... too much for his budget.
You could try the Aeon GT; they reckon you can build one with the VAG 1.8T motor for somwhere in the £12,000-£14,000 range, so if you were careful,
with a lucky engine-find, you might be able to pare that back to within your budget.
I rather fancy something different from the sevenesque styling next time, and the spyder version of the Aeon is on my tentative list, possibly with a
V6 of some description. Haven't yet done any research to find out how good/bad it really is though. Anyone on the list either building or
finished one, that would care to comment?
Cheers
Richard

Although I would go for something like an Audi Turbo. In fact I may once I blow the K up again :-)

I never cared for how K1 (not necessarily their distributers) represented themselves - too much pseudo technical data. Please research the history of
the company and the car - my advice is to buy a used one. If you take your time you may find one quite reasonable.
There's http://www.attackforums.com/ where you can find them for sale.

Better save some more cash Koen, for the GTM!
By the way; theconrodkid, I just noticed your signature. It is mis-spelled (should read goudVis instead of gouduis). But have you got any clue what it
means?

IMHO the K1 looks pretty damn sexy! I don't care much for the big "attack" logo on the back though.. it needs to be covered up,
it's just too ricer-like..

No one is following his list. "Fast" is easy but he wants a roof and <12K Pounds. Mazda RX-7?
