Help buying car

[2005mustangGT]

hey, i was looking for a good car to buy (pretty cheap about 15k) but i would like to use it for racing so i was wondering what kinds of cars would be nice to buy and is a used car that has been well taken care of a good choice?

a used car isnt bad. and nothing wrong w/ mustang but id get a chevy. all singers sing bout chevy 4 a reason. parts r cheaper. get a camaro corvette or like me take a little s10 throw a 400 sbc in w/a big ass cam(484/494). 1.6 roller rockers. hi rise alum intake w/ eldelbrock 800 thunder avs carb.w/ 5 speed out of 96 chevy 2500 hd dually. if u go automatic make sure you have a stall converter to match pulling range of cam.headers. true duals. flowmasters. crome tips. and a 250 hp shot of nos. and tub the rear end w/ drag radials. and chrome her ass down just for bragging right cause trust me went u gat this type of power u love to pop the hood. when u get it right it would pull 750 hp and will pull the tires off d ground. but its up 2 u

What kind of racing?

[2005mustangGT]

Illegal street more for drag racing 1/4 of a km.

sorry double post crappy comp

[sickcallawayc12]

Well I'm totally against your "illegal street racing" but I would go import. I would definitely pick chevy if it was domestic but you may not "need" anything as powerful as sbc mentioned. Put 15k in just about any civic and it would dominate most.

Thanks, but why did you put "" around illegal street racing should i call it something else lol?

get a brand new tc and turbo it, its a great looking car... i just got one and i love it

For 15k you can get a nice LS1 F-body.

hell 15k and ill sell mine. if u spend that in an import u r stupid. an import will never pull the hp a built v8 will.to b honest about it i built my own s10 and i have all that hp and only about 5000 dollars in it.so my advice is dont piss ur money away on a import. imports are god gas mileage. american muscle for racing

[Ascendancy]

well i love honda's... and i love domestic cars and dont see anything wrong with other imports but if your going to drag then dont go with an import such as a civic. yes you can make little FWD cars go REALLY fast but you are going to spend alot more money than you will with a v8 that has nice get-up-and go to start with. i agree with the s10 that was mentioned earlier and am thinking about getting one myself. if you want a smaller vehicle that got decent gas mileage. then by all means get you a 15 second civic. the turbos on them only run around 2-3 grand.

just remember dont watch fast and the furious and think your gunna go out and stomp a fixed up corvette with a fixed up civic or accord. racing in japan is different than drag. they rely on speed/handling where as drag relies on the horsepower you get at the wheels/ how fast you can accelerate.

I'd say MKIII Toyota Supra turbo.
