I am posting this thread cause I keep hearing people ask the same question> "What used car can I get that is fast for 5 to 10 thousand ?".Simple a 1991 to 1994 Toyota MR2 Turbo, the price depends on the year (newer ones are more expensive). The 200 hp and 200 lb ft of tourqe in an under 3,000lb car will give you low 6 second 0> 60 times and high 14 second 1/4 mile times. Not to mention all the aftermarket parts that are out there to make this car a V8 killer, not to mention there are some badass bodykits for this little 2 seater. check out www.mr2.com .

i wouldn't suggest buying a MR2 to those people who are asking that question, most of them are or close to 16 like myself, and don't need a rwd car like that, im not saying everyone, but most of them are ignorant people that sooner or later are gonna wreck something like that

I wouldnt suggest a little 2 seater to any new driver. This is just a good car look and performance wise that can be very easily modded. People need to use their own judgement when buying a car, I am just giving my :2cents:

I would go with a 5.0L Stang.They are very cheap and you don't need a shitload of mods to go fast.
