Here'z the deal..
I've got 16k to spend.. I need a fast car :P By fast, I'd prefer more acceleration over top end speed, but any suggestions would be great :]

I really want a Supra, but it's a bit out of my price range :/
I've been looking at lots of cars, but I need some help.. suggestions!? :]


Thankz!!! ;D

get an older supra turbo, or an older rx-7 turbo ...
or get an old civic and rice the hell out of it

Screw a civic and all that played out rice crap. Get a 240z or 280z for about 3k. Buy a GM 350 crate motor and a blower, new rear end, swap it in. Then you have the rest of the cash for body/ interior work. And the best part is, instead of having a 16 sec. 1/4 mile in a civic, you'll be in the high 11's and twelves with a fast ass sleeper.

Dont buy a new car my friend, especially a ricer. trust me.

wtf is ur problem. if u get a nissian u can cet a 180 or 240 sx and do a SR20DET. I think some of the V8 crap is kinda sad

the hell with it just get a supra... or an rx7...

Hello? where are my 3000gt people? listen bud you can easily find a well working 3000gtvr4 for under 16 tho. depending on what year you get and miles, you should have some left over.even if you dont theve got 320 hp stock AWD, AWS, 0-60 4.8 stock.the works if you wanna look it all up , plus they look awsome. check it out you should like it.:bandit:

I would look at the Porsche 944 Turbo S
At around $10,000-13,500(usd) they are really cheap considering the performance and the name behind it.

240hp

0-60
5.5 seconds

top speed - 162
Perfect 50/50 weight distribution
Great handling.
And fairly reliable cars considering how hard your probably going to drive it.
Plus after market parts arent expensive and their is alot.
For example you can get a new turbo for it thats putting out 320hp for just a couple thousand.

good luck in your search. :bandit:

ok ok i'm in get a 3000gt vr4.. they tear it up man all i can say sorry i love the vr4's like a 99 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 in carracas red w/ tan leather interior w/ the twin intercooled, twin turbo charged 3.0L DOHC 24V V6, sorry i just like it...

V8 sad what are you talking about why would you want a heavier car with 200 hp over a light car with about 300 or so hp. The V8 would also cost about half as much given that you can get a 240z for under $2k and is a much simpler swap. The z is also faster stock than the sx, well the 240 anyway.

I agree with nismo66, a z with a v8 swap is a hard thing to beat dollar for dollar... plus its just so easy to get major hp outta those old v8s

I would say any of these:

240z w/v8 swap
240sx w/sr20det swap
300zx tt

Those are what I would be deciding between if I had 16k lyin around

-Grendel

looks like its coming down to
3000gt vr4 tt
300zx tt
rx7 tt
supra tt
well it seems the tt's have taken the market for fast cars.. :frog:

Out of that list, I would really only consider the 300zxtt or Supra TT. I have hear the the reliability of Turbo RX7's and 3000gt Vr4's is shit...

-Grendel

although the 3kgt is my fav on the list i would pick it 3rd behind the supra and the rx7.. i agree it's not so hot but i wouldn't down the rx7...

V8 crap is kinda sad? Whats sad is that V8 ZZ4,LT1, LS1, or even a remanufactered motor will absolutely own your Lsvtec havin ass every day of the week. If half of you ricer fucks would spend your money on a domestic V8 power plant, most of you sorry little bitches would see 11's instead of 15's.

Honda = shit.
You = Stinky pile of moose shit. :flipa:

You don't even have to use an LS1 or LT1 any V8 in a Z would smoke any ricer out there anyday.

Haha, well put... I agree... V8 Zs own...

-Grendel

Yeah so do turbo ones actually all Z's do.

i like the engine, i just wish it looked diff..

16 k to spend hmmm older rx7 turbos had a nastyoverheating problem 300zx just slow and as far as civic what a waste my suggestion is to find a nice 89 iroc z with the 350 that will cost about mybe a total of 5 k now u got 11 k to work with blower exhaust cam and light head porting can all be done for less than 6k and you wil be running high 10's on street tires

Your weight distribution would be so fucked up it would handle like a goddamn drag racer. A SR20DET would serve the purpose far better. He said he wanted fast, not ridiculously fast. Power is nothing without control.

My word, another fucktard steps to the plate. Well 911, JTR sells a motor mount kit that allows you to mount the V8 all the way back against the firewall, thus resulting in a damn near stock weight distribution. Besides, ask anyone that knows anything about hybrid z's, the average V8 swap adds only a little over and sometimes under 100lbs.

If one was on a budget, why choose the SR20DET? $2000.00 is not affordable for a measily 220hp. I've seen built V8's locally in Phoenix for as low as $500. Umm yeah, Ill take the V8 too.

Yup, and then you do the whole aluminum heads and relocate the battery to the trunk and its back to normal... thats what i've heard anyways...

I think some guy on here was putting a SR20DET in a Z... he said the power to weight was going to be awesome... wonder where he went... I don't even remember his name
