Honda I hope you mean NSX cuz the rest are shopping trolly's that nanna drives right

Street cars well do you mean production, limited production, stock standard, modified or race specc'ed, or what?

My opinion on base models with only ecu, filter(s) and exhaust done.

Production

Amercian
Viper or one of the various Corvettes

Japanese
Skyline GTR, NSX

Euro
TVR, Porsche, Farreri you choose

Now that's what I'm talkin bout!

[DemonZX]

How about the 67' Shelby 427! Now that is a true street car!

[Cbass]

You mean the 427 Cobra SC, or the GT500 Mustang? The Mustang used the 428, but that's because the insurance companies didn't want to insure a car with the FE Nascar engine...

[DemonZX]

SC! But of course! Even though the GT500 is one of my dream cars!

[Cbass]

I've been thinking of building a Cobra replica with a 6.8 Triton V10... They only make 310hp stock, but with good exhaust, 10:1 compression, and lot's of cam duration, I think they could do 400-500hp.

[DemonZX]

That would be pretty damn nice!

McLaren F1 (if you have the budget to work with)

[Layla's Keeper]

Since most street racers are working on limited funds, I'll advise you to do one of three things.

1: Find a 1979-1993 5.0L Mustang. Cheap, light, easy to drive power, and they sort of handle. I prefer the 2.3L Turbo 'Stangs of that generation, but I'm a tech nut who'd also try to figure out how to fabricate mounts for attaching the '03 SVT Cobra IRS. The aftermarket is swamped with 5.0L V-8 Parts, and the cars actually are fairly efficient. Just be careful. Cops tail Mustangs like nobodies business. Camaro drivers have it worse, though.

2: Buy a 1989-1993 Nissan 240SX, then shop for an SR20DET. This is a hot import setup that actually makes sense. It's fast, relatively cheap, figure $1500 for the car and then $1500 for the DET, then another $500 in parts to install it (stronger clutch, rewired harness, new powersteering lines). These cars will hold their own against 70% of what's out there, and are very versatile (carve corners, drift, drag, and still operate economically). Plus the hatches have great cargo area. ^_^

3: (personal opinion) Classic small British sports cars! ^____^ The little ones (under 1600cc) aren't very fast, but corner like mad! The big cars (between 1600cc and 3000cc) have grunt, and still corner like mad. Good examples that can be found for inexpensive prices are-

Triumph Spitfire (little)
MG Midget (little)
Austin-Healey Sprite (little)
MGB (big car- 1.8L four)
Triumph TR4 through TR6 (BIG car- 3.0L six)
Triumph Spitfire GT-6 (big car- 3.0L six)
Sunbeam Tiger (BIG car, 260ci V-8, later 289ci)

If any of these engines sound small to you. Remember two things; the heaviest car in this group is the Triumph TR4 at around a tankish 2100lbs(?!) and there are kits out there (many factory based) to put the Rover 3.5L aluminum V-8 into these cars. You'll be distinctive, you'll be fast, and there is no sensation that can match that of classic British motoring. :angel:

If you don't mean typical, but still street racers, I'm going to say Skyline (GTR). Cuz those are insane and they're like the street machine all the civics, maximas and 'tegs want to be when they grow up.

i want my integra to grow up into a skyline...if i give it good gas and lots an lots of cool clean air, then it'll grow up to be a twin turbo beast rite? j/k... i like that quote tho...its pretty much the truth...most import drivers wish they could roll in a skyline.

[Polygon]

That is just to broad, and you can't name any one car as being the ultimate street racing car. That is just not possible. Also are talking about stock, or can be modified to do so? I can make a Geo Metro kick a Skyline's ass in every way. It is all a matter of time and money. There is always someone with a car and skills better than yours.

[KrNxRaCer00]

bursting our bubble...j/k it is pretty broad, but stock, thats the car i'd take.

street machine all the civics, maximas and 'tegs want to be when they grow up.

he said race cars, not econo boxes

i'd say mk3 supra. intake, exhaust, boost controller = instant 300 to the wheels.
cant beat that for under $5k. or in my case, under $2k including price of car.:finger:

skyline??
in japan, they call those things taxi cabs. i'd take an mk4 supra, an FD, 3kgt vr-4, or TT 300zx over one of those things anyday. and with the money left over, mod the thing to hell and back
