[CRX89]

Get a 88-91 CRX or 92-95 Civic Hatch Back and put a DOHC VTEC b16a or b18c in it. That would be the fastest of the cars you listed. A eclipse GSX or GST would be fastest stock then the z28. The Honda/Acura should be really reliable. I have had good dependabilty with chevys too. Chevy parts will be cheap. Honda/Acura parts are cheap unless it has to be a dealer bought item. BMW is not worth it. Repairs will cost more than its worth. Aftermarket parts will be spendy too. if you go with a vw try a late 90's GTi Vr6 there fast cars. VW are not to great with reliability. A lot of my buds have them and have electrical problems after a while. Id go with Civic with a eninge a swaped in it. The insurance will be cheaper than a z28 and gas will be better. A GST or GSX Eclipse will be costly to insure for a kid and a n/a ecplise is gutless. Go with the Z28 if you cant afford to swap a engine in to a civic. Id go with a Z28 or Civic if I was you. Both cars have potential and both are fun as long as you get the right model.
