Best Headturner for under 40k

[fairladyz_gt-r]

I would get NSX...that thing will definetly become collectable in the near future....come and think about it...maybe i should get one...

1st gen camaro
can make something similar example:




for that kind of money you can get a 1st generation maro in new condition, completley restored. keep in mind there easy to work on and if you stay away from the megabucks numbers-matching cars, youll be sure to find an awesome daily driver.
there are not many cars out there that will get a womans attention like one of these, trust me.

i dont know one woman who would rather have a 68 camaro than an NSX lol. i mean, not to badmouth the camaro, but it depends if you like turning or not.

its preference, just giving jameschang ideas.
why do you believe you cant get a first gen to handle? my 69 z/28 handles great.
the money he wants to spend, he can simply mod the suspension for his needs.

handle in comparison to what? i think i'm sounding like an asshole, but you seriously can't compare a camaro to an NSX in terms of handling. sure, it may handle well for what it is, but the fact is that if you want a car which handles, a first gen comaro is not the way to go.

I agree that a 1st gen out of the box is not going to handle like an nsx lol
but at the same time it can be done, also the parts in comparison to cost is a huge difference. getting a used nsx vs a custom 1st gen, to me its going to be the camaro every time. its preference.

the 2002 nsx is in his price range, handling of 0.90 200ft skidpad and weighing almost 3200lbs is nothing magical.

1st gen camaros are not exactly cheap either, you could spend 10 grand easy on one that is in just decent condition, not to mention fully restored. ive seen people charge 5 grand for the shell. and without major mula in suspension mods, they are gonna handle like minivans. plus a camaro will only be apealing to some enthusiasts, while the nsx will be appealing to all, including women. if that matters lol.

that is a very slick camaro in that picture though.

Meh, i would choose COPO styling over that any day, but that's just me. i refuse to argue with you about camaro vs. NSX dude. I've seen an NSX go for as little as 20k. extra 20k in mods and you would have a supercar destroyer, let alone first gen camaros. one that out handles the NSX wouldnt be a camaro at that point anyways. maybe half camaro lol.

[BlackGT2000]

Well I think a Camaro like that would draw as much attention as an NSX. I think 20000 for an NSX is also an unrealistic expectation. Everyone has "seen the deal of the century" but unless someone comes in here and tells me that they bought one for 20, i am really not going to believe 20 is a realistic price. That being said, a 40 year old camaro is really not going to perform as well as an NSX in any category without rediculous modification. Even then I doubt that it would match it some categories.

[DinanM3_S2]

Its reasonable to think that a Camaro could compete with a NSX in a straight line, but I don't think its economically feasable to do everthing you would need to do to get an early Camaro to handle anywhere near a NSX. The NSX has every advantage under the sun. Better chassis, mid-engined, lighter weight, better breaks, and a much more advanced suspension. Overcoming all of those obstacles would cost a small fortune even if you were able to do all the work yourself.

[alphalanos]

Most girls wouldnt know an NSX if it was parked in their driveway.

[blakscorpion21]

they would think it was a ferarri, even better.

[Red CELL]

were talking head turner not camaro vs nsx!
if done right you can have the best of both worlds with a muscle car.
40k is definetly do-able. also the cost in parts is a major factor if you want something aftermarket.
like i said just giving the guy some options.

[BlackGT2000]

Well as far as head turner, I agree that a properly done classic muscle car (not just Camaros) can turn some serious heads.

[blakscorpion21]

i agree, but the only heads it will turn are those of enthusiasts. 90 percent of non-enthusiasts could care less though.
