ive got a 2000 svt contour right now, had it for about a year. Its got a vortech supercharger in it and has close to 300 wheel hp. Ive had nothing but problems with it and have decided to sell it. Im looking for a new car in the 6-11 grand price range. I want a car with a lot of torque on tap also. Reliability is a big issue after having the most unreliable car in town. I plan to buy the car with no engine mods and put in a turbo or some other major mod into it. Anybody got a good idea what kind of car would meet my needs?

Do you mean 300 crank hp? 300 fwhp puts you at about ~350 crank hp.

Right, and i would bet to venture it would be more along the range of 260 at the wheels!
