well although i've chimmed in on this post a few times i'll do it again..
i prefer the rice rocket bit.. not ricey though all my hondas are stock, give or take.. and they don't sound like a 1942 lawn mower but there is no way at least on street apps that any import is gonna tangle with the likes of the old school pontiac gto.. or the camero, the nova, the chevelle, the vette, and all those.. the general lee.. i mean come on , no one, i mean no one, is gonna waste the dukes of hazzard, in a toyota.. lol...

Grab the 240sx and GO, turbo the ka24, at 5 psi on stock internals your go from 135/140 hp to the wheels to almost 235/240 hp to the wheels. The use the extra money to get the internals fixed and good oil cooler kit setup before the turbo. make sure the shop uses a BYPASS valve and not a Blown Off valve. When you get the car back, take it easy a few hundred mile, go on a weekend rouad try 250 each direction, then strap in cause your going for a wild ride. Good Luck.

HAve you ever looked into mods for a KA24. i have talked too alot of shops run buy peeps doing this a lot longer that most of us young pups. THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT, that 2.4L CAN be bored out to 2.5L and with a good set of pistons and rod take just as much beating as the SR20. The 2.4 will aways have more torque than the sr20. And depending on whether you want massive power or a quick punch the turbos is all that you have to change. With just a little help from aftermarket suppliers you would a a 4 banger hangen the the I-6's easy 800+HP the wheels.

American Muscle= slow heavy sack of crap
Rice Rocket? = BYE BYE! can't catch this EURO= wow i look hella nice plus, i'm pretty fast man don't buy american car man, u just ending up with a heavy ass car. why is it called american muscle? cuz it's need those hundreds of horse power to drag it's fat ass across the damn finish line. I just bought a 2002 MINI COOPER S and raced a Camero SS and smoked it's ass. If u want a rice rocket, why don't u help urself to a WRX?!?!?!?!? that will desemate all! or if u got some cash to blow, why not a used m3 or a new one? or get a mini cooper! ha ha! yea it's hella sick, the best handling u'll ever get man. my future add ons will bea hamann body kit with race chip and exhaust. 220+ hp for a light ass car, not the fastest but it will beat a lot of cars. ne way have fun deciding, don't forget the euros! |

lol. I might get a new car. Maybe. No. A 17 year old with a new car. My insurance is already stupidly expensive at 3000 dollars a year, and I'm driving a 140 bhp G20. It's stupid. I'm still saving for another car. Try to get myself a 95+ 240sx. Insurance on that won't bite my head off. Aslong as I don't tell them what I do to the car. If I got a 93+ Camaro Z28, which would be the "American Muscle," insurance would probably be upwards of 4000 to 5000 dollars a year. I might be able to afford that. hahahahahahahahaha. Same thing with a 300zx TT. Stupid insurance. EVIL!

Class i salmost over, so didn't have enough time to read the whole thing.
I would go with a semi-mix. That is, 80's Camaros/Stangs scream REDNECK to me, thats just a stereotype. Civics and the like scream RICER, and often Poser to me. Most of these I find to be absolute crap, so much money is wasted on them, IMO, for very little benefit. I would go with an early 90's car. My suggestions: Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo (300hp, RWD), Dodge Stealth/Mitsubishi 3000GT (320hp, AWD), Toyota Supra (320hp), Toyota MR2 Turbo (200hp, but midengined, and really fast/fun). So, they are japanese, but they are definately not ricers. Also, to save some money, a 323GTX or 89 MR2 Supercharged are excellent values.

lets compare the 2 camaro ss: mini cooper s: curb weight:3448 curb weight:2550 hp:320 hp:161 0 to 60:4.9 0 to 60:7.3 standing 1/4 mile:13.8 standing 1/4 mile:15.8 so the way i see it the only waya mini cooper s could beat a camaro ss is if the guy in the camaro was a sleep got those numbers for caranddriver.com :finger:

Yes, the Mini, while very fun, could never beat a Camaro SS. Unless this was some 80's Camaro, with a clapped out motor.
And besides, the limited budget excludes the Mini.
