Which car?
I am going to be getting a new car within the next few years. I was wonder which to get. I want something with a turbo(preferably) an engine that can handle mods. Here are a few I was thinking of. Feel free to add others.
Nissan 350z - Pros- Good handling decent power. -cons N/a and doesnt respond well to mods) 2005 Mustang Mach 1- Pros - Immense power and torque and nive looks- cons- Cant handle vey well. Vey common Lancer Evolution- Pros- Turbo, nice handling and speed- Four door. can't shake slightly 2f2f look. Subaru Wrx STi- same as evo Pontiac GTo- same as mustang except possibly better drivetrain. I would like a car that can run low 13s high 12s and still compete in autox. Thanks for your time. Please reply. |

You don't give the GTO much credit. Very nice interior, decent straightline speed (350hp, 3700lb curb weight), IRS, somewhat bland looking. The engine responds well to mods, head/cam packages run 3-5K and can get 410rwhp-460rwhp. I'm not sure why you think it can't handle though, the weight will be an issue obviously, but that chassis is fairly good at handling.

Sorry about the Gto handling. I just thought it was a bit to heeavy to handle competentley. However I don't think it looks like A GTO should either.

If you are on a super tight budget...the Mach 1...w/it costing so cheap...you could upgrade the rear suspension and make it a decent handling car from the crap that it is...
But if you have the 30-32k to spend...get the Evo...or STi...drive both to find out which

I'd say sti or evo... quick as all hell with their all wheel drive, and even though they're family sedans and weigh a lot, they have great handling.
