The long awaited thread...
in this im not asking you to pick my car out for me. just tell me which one u like and why. also list the cons of them. this would really help me out. btw, this car would be considered my daily driver/racing car and raising gas prices isn't really my favorite thing. The car i will purchase will be in manual, and maintiance is no problem to me. (i wash my car every week and check fluids every night) i guess all im asking for is the pros and cons.
'93 Honda Prelude Si (driven) '95 Acura Integra GSR/LS (driven) '97 Chevy Cavilaer Z24(with the 2.4) (driven) '95 Audi A4 1.8T (drove the 2.8 v6) '00 Mercury Cougar v6 (drove the auto one) '99 Saab 93 Se Turbo (never been in)

Re: The long awaited thread...
Get the GSR. Can you really compare a GSR with a Cavalier?

Re: The long awaited thread...
i'm with him, can you really compare a GSR to a cavalier??
oh and my vote falls under 92-95 Civic EX/SI w/ a d16z6 and a stock 1g eclipse turbo setup at 10lbs or so. If you shed some pounds off of it, you'll see some nice low 13's for the cost of almost any of those cars. Also coming from my prelude friends, they don't have nearly as much potential as the b-series and d-series honda's

Re: The long awaited thread...
K series FTW.
Don't really know any of those cars well besides the teg, so my post is useless

Re: The long awaited thread...
I would check these forums, and see what people are saying about the year/model you have. Ive been doing that lately, and found out that a 1987-1993 toyota camera really isn't what i want to buy (as a for instance)

Re: The long awaited thread...
Non of the above.
get a 2002+ V-dub 1.8t, Ive always know they had loads of potential but seeing Gotian mod his has freaking blown my mind. Those things are nasty moddable......is that even a word?

'97 Chevy Cavilaer Z24(with the 2.4) (driven)
'95 Audi A4 1.8T (drove the 2.8 v6) '00 Mercury Cougar v6 (drove the auto one)......None of those. The cavalier and Cougar are not fast as I have driven both. The Audi actually may not be that bad if you dont mind maitenance but I've heard they have expensive anreliability.

Re: The long awaited thread...
The Audi would probably be the nicest to drive and looks the best, but it won't be the fastest and they can be a pain to live with. I would get the Integra. They have most of the advantages of the A4 without the costly maintenance.

My thoughts exactly. My aunt + my gf's mom have had 4 A4s between the 2 of them. Maintaince is expensive (mostly because they never ask me to do it  ) and electrical reliability has been an occasional issue. GSR is definantly one of the better honda/acuras, and I have nothing bad to say about them.

Re: The long awaited thread...
I guess i have to be the first to say get the saab. My cousin has one and its a 00' so its the same body style i think. The interior is very nice and i think it does a 6.8 0-60 and a 15.2 quarter mile stock. Im sure you could run a boost controller and a few other small mods and have yourself a nice daily driver.
