Re: Need a car to keep up with friends

Do you need money leftover for mods?

A stock 300ZX TT should keep up with those. A WRX might keep up too. A heavily modified turbocharged 4 banger like a Civic or Eclipse may keep up with them also, though may not make good DDs. Grand Prix GTP will probably do it after some mods.

Re: Need a car to keep up with friends

im leaning to the WRX. how much do u think it will cost me to put more power in it. will simple bolt-ons give it enough power? im not lookn to push like 500hp, but im lookn to gain more then what the stock is puttn out to make a good difference.

Re: Need a car to keep up with friends

Best bet would be to upgrade the turbo. Certain exhaust modifications will be beneficial, but other bolt-ons like intake and headers are pretty much worthless on a WRX.
