Hey, Im going to be buying a car pretty soon but I dont know what I want to get. I got about $5000 to spend. The things Im looking for in a car are RWD, fast, and not a honda or any other Ricer type car. I was looking at some 80's Mustangs and Camaro's but there probably not the best thing to have in the winter. So any suggestions and help would be great.

Yeah those are pretty nice. Pretty good power too (200 HP), and a car I could spend money on and make even better. Anyone else have anymore ideas for me?

from what i heard about the rx7 is that parts are expensive for them

Really? The main thing Im going to buy for it if I get one would be a new engine. Its a 1.3L J-Spec that has up to 300HP for about $1500.

if you get a 3rd gen, it'll spend a lot of time being worked one... and if u get a second gen and have that much of an upgrade... make sure that you have a beefy enough rear end on the car and a good transmission... or you might start breaking stuff.

Yeah, it probably isnt worth the work or money putting a new engine in it. I'll probably just work with what I got if I get one.

the rx7 is a nice pic.. perhaps on old supra..
an old 5.0 stang isn't bad either but your right they suck in winter..
