Sporty guy car, as in, not eclipses. Under or around 10k with good gas mileage, reasonable insurance, and a manual transmission. Something like a prelude or integra becuase i have been lookin at those 2 lately and seem to like them
thanks, KG

you're a manual guy, I like your style. But in my standards, manual tranny and fwd cars don't do justice.

Well, most of the good gas mileage, low insurance cars tend to be FWD. There is always the 300ZX and the 240SX, though. :)

can you do burnouts on fwd cars?

Who really cares? He's looking for a practical but sporty daily driver, not a performance vehicle.

no really, that was a question directed to you, not a rhetorical question.
I also drive a fwd car, it handles great below 90mph range, and good daily driver, it'll get you from point a to b, even with engine malfunction. But in terms of performance and fun level, I got jealous of Mustangs, which is sad. And that's why I also bought a Z32. manual tranny with rwd, :D you can glide on the ooomph and speed. with the t-tops dettached, it's euphoric.

as for the KG2325, get a 240sx or accord coupe.

Prelude VTEC and Integra GS-R are better than Accord coupe IMO...

too many out there, hate the rice flavor. but whatever floats your boat, subjective.

Eh, they fit his criteria perfectly. I suppose an Accord coupe would work as well, though.

1st gen Neon RT or ACR. Or an Integra GSR.

... you can do burn outs in ANY car dude. I Personally drive a 70's RWD Buick which can light 'em up, but we got my friends 75 hp Ford pickup to do a burn out, and I've done them in countless FWD cars.

I'd suggest a VTECH prelude or a 240... even an SI lude if you dont want to spend more. But you can get a pretty built VTECH lude for like 7,000, and thats with heads exhaust intake etc... plus its a 4 seat car (Though it sucks to sit in the back) for insurance purposes, so it wont cost all that much.

Yeah, my top 3 picks would be a 92-96 Prelude VTEC, 94-01 Integra GS-R, and 89-93 240SX SE hatchback

why not try an acura legend coupe not 4 door. those are some sweet lookin cars. imo too many ppl now have integras, but if you like them go for it

fine, I think I should have a more horsies in my FWD than that Ford. Tell me how to do burnout with an auto tranny? Because I tried to go from neutral to drive, and in that same second, pushed the gas, and instead of squealing it as I done before, it jerked like the front end axle was going to break-off. So, far as I've done burnouts, it's always been with my Z32.

i dont believe you can do burnouts on an automatic UNLESS you get a handbrake installed to control only your back brakes.

wait, how the hell is that plausible. my friends with auto tranny on their RWD cars done it.

My buddy does burnouts in his Saturn SL all the time. He just cranks the wheel all the way to the right and floors it. He gets a good amount of smoke and leaves a nice patch. Oh and how the hell is an Eclipse not a guys' car???

my standards for a burnout are diff than everyone else i guess, i dont count doin donuts as burnouts.

ya, i wasn't talking about donuts, just the launch.

... do you people even drive? My AUTOMATIC RWD car can spin them like there is no tomorrow... its called (Now you ricers listen up) ... TORQUE! I've laid 60+ foot patches in a parking lot, and in the same automatic car I've done a controlled burnout in a parking stall for almost 30 seconds, and I'm rolling like 180 horsepower...

yes you can do doughnuts in a FWD car, you can do anything with spinning wheels in circles or make smoke with any car.

My Camry can do sick donuts...in reverse. Can't lay any rubber in my mom's 4-cylinder Camry, though.

E-Brake! Its not like you need it anyway, who cares if it wears out....

I tried, won't work. Either I'm doing it wrong, or the Camry e-brakes are weak (probably both!)
