He listed "94 Impala". That was a RWD car. The newer version switched to FWD. I just bought a '95 Buick Roadmaster with a 350 cu.in. LT1 engine, and 270 hp. These cars are similar to the Caprices and Impalas of the early to mid '90s as they share the same platform/ engines. From all the research I've done and reviews read, these cars with the LT1 engine are supposed to be real fast. ( I won't actually get to find out til spring as it is snowing here as I type this

but I can't wait to see.) The car is in great shape and was owned previously by 2 older gentlemen, so it was well taken care of. I bought the car for only $1500. (The guy was selling it because he'd hope to give it to his daughter to drive, but she's short and the car is too big for her.) The engine in this car is the same one used in the Corvette, so we're talking nice power here. Check out some police auctions for older police cars. They generally use RWD cars and can meet your need for speed.

Doh... ya got me

A roadmaster appears to run a 15 flat 1.4 mile.

Not holy shit fast but pretty quick.
A vtec prelude runs the same, as well as a integra type r, or the new rsx type s.
So if you see a integra that says type r or a vtec prelude, or a type s rsx, dont race em.
Just do a big power slide in a corner

Remember they weigh 2 tons

That LT1 in those cars would be a great candidate for a swap into a 3rd gen. Camaro

SuperHighOutput · 11-23-2005, 05:11 PM

98-02 Camaro. A V-6 would be fast enough to compete with the cars you listed but an LS1 powered one is in another league.

thank you all for all the help, im thinking to go with a hyundai tiburon v6, its not the greatest v6 but hey that what i love about cars, to make them faster

drdisque · 11-25-2005, 01:47 AM

too bad the tiburon isn't RWD or AWD.

castillorio · 11-25-2005, 01:35 PM

yeah i know, thats what i kinda hate about new car allot are being turn to fwd, not alot but why cant it be like old times rwd, but oh well,

Altimas · 11-25-2005, 03:15 PM

there are RWD cars but they're either luxury performance cars or cars that are made only for performance, not interior space or safety.
Maybe not the fastest cars (miata...) but they serve only one purpose.

SuperHighOutput · 11-25-2005, 06:14 PM

If you're looking at a Tiburon why not take a look at the new Civic Si, it's got 197hp and I'm willing to bet it offers better performance than the Tiburon.

castillorio · 11-25-2005, 09:45 PM

yeah it does but no torqe

drdisque · 11-25-2005, 11:19 PM

you can also get used Tiburons, you can't get used new SI's

castillorio · 11-26-2005, 09:51 PM

very true plus i dont rlly like that break in period, but when used u dont know how they treated it in the begining, but hey its cheaper, does anyone know the price range a tiburon should be years 03-05, i rlly dont, well i dont trust dealerships. thanks in advance

94 and up Nissan 240SX.
Comes with a 2.4L DOHC 4 cyl.
Turbo kits are readily availible. Aftermarket is huge. Relatively light, and easy to maintain. only drawback, is highprice (comes with high resale tho..) b/c of the Fast n the furious rage! (stupid movie).

if you want a fast 2 dr RWD car, take a look at the BMW Z series. more than 15 K though. If you want performanc you gotta pay for it. is the tiburon RWD?
