Well they say the McLaren F1 is quick and handles well....
Seriously, we need a price range.

To give you an idea of how cars stack up... http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html It has 0-60 as well. Why 0-60? You like racing up to the speed limit ? 0-60 can be hugely up to tires for your more torquey cars, or high strung cars (high revving). |

Re: wich rwd car?
you said you liked 0-60.
Btw altimas, impalas, preludes and tegs are FWD... altimas and tegs are in addition gutless, although vtec tegras and ludes are kinda quick, but gutless still (no torque). You should look for V6 RWD cars imo, or turbo 4 bangers. Turbo mr2s are pretty fast and handle extremely well since they have the engine in the correct place (mid engine). FWD cars also don't handle well if you hate understeer. They also have torque steer if they have any kinda of power (maxima++) and the designers were stupid enough to fit an open differential or unequal drive shafts. |

Re: wich rwd car?
SRT4 would be a good choice, a DSM, DOHC VTEC Honda's are good (i like mine), MR2, miata, etc....
It really depends on your preference, what you can afford, how much insurance is, and the car that's going to suit your needs (gas mileage and size)......those things all need to be considered.

Re: wich rwd car?
he said rwd, but the cars he listed were all FF....if i was to get an RWD car, i would look at a 300ZX or a 3000gt (VR4 would be my choice).....Mazda Miata, S2000......

Re: wich rwd car?
just make sure it's the AWD version.
Even then I don't think they're anywhere as fun as a classic RWD car because of the FWD based awd system. ...It's 100% fwd untill a front wheel slips and then it tranfers 50% to the rear. So it's like a FWD car with more grip in effect. |
