Which ride would you choose.

I'm in the market for my first car. I have a limit of $10,000. Id want a 3000GT, but I live in Canada and to get one here it would probably be over my limit. So I have narrowed it down to the following. Which car would you go with. Note, your answers will not have a big influence on my final decision I just want to know. So pick the car you would go with and say if you chose it because of its looks, performance, or reliability.

2000 Mustang GT

1996-1998 Honda Prelude

1996-1998 Nissan 240SX

1997-1998 Acura Integra

1998-2000 Camaro

1999-2000 Eclipse

Take this crap out of the street racing forum. There have been enough off topic posts already. Can this be moved?

Read the damn sticky, and I'd take the 240SX.

Get a 93 civic DX for like $3,000 and then go crazy with the rest of the money at autozone/pepboys buying all their quality high performance parts. Like huge aluminum wings and universal exhaust.

Wow sorry Im not as hardcore and educated about cars as much as you bro. Sorry I took up so much space in your precious street racing forum. Sorry I wasted your time with this "pointless' thread. :rolleyes: Ill take my question elsewhere.

In your post you don't say anything about racing this car on the street when there is a car comparison forum you could go to. Its not even about taking up my "precious forum" I just dont like to see stupid people posting where they shouldn't be posting. The post you posted is the most common vague ass kind post of this entire website. Everyone posts this crap, and Im just tired of seeing it. What kind of eclipse, what kind of camaro, what kind prelude, and its totally pointless to post this since you said that this wont affect your decision anyways. Oh yeah and a 2000 camaro SS would be my choice :)

since we're talking bout street racing...:)

for out of the box, no mods needed, performance i would go for the mustang (v8), or the camaro (also the v8).

The only 98-00 camaro you'll be getting for $10k is going to be a V6.

see above ^^^^

i'm not up to date on my camaro prices...

go fr a 2000 stang gt

Good luck getting a 2000 GT mustang for $10k. You'll only get V6s.

Oh yeah forgot about the $10K detail F*** this post :) 1999 Eclipse GST

Hi my name is Chris. I'm currenlty on the market for a new car. Mommy and Daddy said they would buy me one if I got good grades. I got a 4.0 on my report card. Then recently I've earned my Eagle Scout Award, and just yesterday I rescued Mrs. Jenkins cat Mittens from up in a Tree. Now they said I can have any car of my choosing for under $50K...Bleh...

Which car should I choose? Which car? What one? Better for money? Good lord, doesn't that question ever end? I'm sorry, I haven't been on these forums too long myself, only for several months but even so, I'm getting sick of that question. And I can't even imagine how it is for those of you who have been in here much longer than me. Geeez. L8...

Mrs. Jenkins is such a bitch. God damn her and her fucking kitten...

Yeah, that damn Mittens scratched me. And all I got from Mrs. Jenkins was a quarter. So I went to 7Eleven and bought me some penny candies and made a night of it. Good Ol' Mrs. Jenkins. Cheap ass lady. L8...

It's getting pretty old but so is everyone bitching about this sort of thing, remember, he is a newbie. There's no need to be dickheads about it, the mods will move it and explain what he did wrong and that will be the end of it.

u could prolly find a 99/00 stang gt for under 10g's. highrev87 bought his 99 for like 9 or 8. ebay that shitm or try to bargain, and it could happen.

highrevs has highhhhhhh mileage. but technically you're correct.

Point taken but honestly I think most of the people who post stupid stuff just come in here under different names each time just to troll around.

I have no tolerance for "what car should I buy", "what parts will make my V6 mustang faster than GTs", "V6 to V8 swap" and "I just beat a viper in my civic SI" esque threads.

Get an M5, cheapest car around....

LOL, that's funny Dampachi, 2 out of the 3 you mentioned were burntrice questions...

Get a Metro. Put a GNX motor in it.

2/4. :)

you forgot about "can my V6 mustang beat a 350Z?" :D

Get a Metro. Put a GNX motor in it.

I like it!

get the prelude.. they are quick stock, reliable, and i get turned on every time i hit VTEC... but thats just me

buy a ford temp with the V6 engine in it. That will make you cool

I would have gotten a prelude, they look nice as hell but I hate the interior and if youre looking for something to race with it is way too heavy. You would be better off getting like a cheap 93' thats the first years they had vtec in em, and theyre a lot lighter than the newer ones. If you are gonna get like a 97 make sure not to get a type SH, its a bitch to mod.

Isn't the Type-SH the only one worth getting? That's the VTEC one...

my friend has a '97 and its got the H22 vtec but its not an SH

For the record, my 1998 Camaro Z28 with 79,000 miles cost me $8,000. Also, it came with SLP Loudmouth exhaust, add that to the fact that the LS1 Camaros and Firebirds are underrated, and that's around 320-330bhp for $8,000. Best bang for your buck in my opinion.

God damn boy...how did you get that 60ft? Revving it up to 6,000rpms and dropping the clutch??

I did that once. Warmed the hell outta street tires, then just revved her up, and dumped the clutch. It was my last run of 15+ that day, and was trying to see how bad of a 60' I could get. It was about 2.8xx. :icon16:

haha..i can't remember if they have traction control or not. do they?

Mine does. I think most do.
Easy to turn off though, one push of a button.

All 97-01 Prelude's have H22 (vtec) motors in them. The Type-SH's being the worst in terms of straight line performance because of the added weight.

Its also odd that you would list 96-98 Preludes are your target buys, because the 96 was of the previous generation.

Yeah, that's how my mustang is. God damn..he probably coulda got a better 60ft with traction control on!

i'm a bit biased, but i say go for the 240sx.
look at all the ka-t guys running around this forum, they are fast.

that or something with a v8...

wtf...my midsized, midlevel import doesn't have traction control, but V8 musclecars do? Isn't that a contradiction?

i would think so, yes.

Because, V8 musclecars are supposed to = big, smoky, fun burnouts....and then you put a computer limiting all that fun?

And then you push a button, and your fun is back. It's mostly a safety precaution for driving in the rain. Most newer/luxury RWD cars have traction control.

I believe they install traction control so that your heavy footed grandma doesn't kill herself.

I hate when I forget to turn traction control off before a race. It makes me bog like a fucker.

I have a VERY bad habit of turning it off as soon as I turn on the car. Kinda makes it hard to have tires last.

Yeah I could use something like traction control then, because I have to get new front tires every 5k miles or so...and that's with only averaging 3 really good burnouts per set.

I always turn it off before I pull out of my driveway. But like..when I stop to take a piss during a cruise..I sometimes forget to turn it back off again.

u guys are wrong if u look in the right place and u have the right connections you could get a 00 stang gt for under 10k

You can get a beat up, 90,000 miles, automatic, no options, 2000 GT mustang for 10k easy.
