Need me a street racer!

[scph]

Hey guys, first post here. I'm looking to buy a car I can use for street racing. I can't do anything too expensive for the regular car itself (say, try not to go above 25k if that's at all possible).

I was looking at these:

Honda Accord 2005 (V6 Model)
Honda Civic 2005 (It only comes with a 4-Cylinder, will that be a big problem for me?)
Mitsubishi Eclipse (Anything from 2000 up.)
Mitsubishi GT3000 (If I can get a cool body kit for it )
Acura Integra

Suggestions? Other cars you think I should look into? Thanks.

Here in Texas you can get a nice chunky Firebird WS6 at that price. You'll get raped for insurance though.

Accord V6.

13.9 with just a CAI and slicks while still having a decent interior.

is the eclipse not a good idea?

[Raz_Kaz]

Eclipse GSX or 3000GT VR-4.



Make sure they are in good condition and you will haveplenty left from that initial 25k to make either one a really badass car.

thanks for your suggestions. would a 3000GT or a eclipse be more powerful?

[scph]

or a V6 accord?

[Raz_Kaz]

3000gt vr-4's run high 13's low 14's stock. They are the faster cars from the list you gave. Twin turbo, awd and pure sexiness.


Good luck

aight, thanks

Accord V6 would be a decent option, but im not sure what other functions you want the car to have

if your going pure street racing then 3KGT will give you the best numbers from purchase as long as its a VR4...im not sure how the non VR4s run

[scph]

ok. also, how would a pontiac firebird ws6 do?

i'm just trying to get the best value and power for my money. i'm not going to be doing pure street racing a LOT as far as i know, and i want awd. i guess the accord is out of the question because it doesn't have awd.

so, firebird WS6, eclipse, or 3000GT?

[Raz_Kaz]

I believe the WS6 run the same times as the VR-4. WS6 is RWD and VR-4 is AWD which is great for snow and rain.

My personal choice would be the VR-4.

Ok, thanks for all your help. I just have one final question!

One of my friends is a lot richer than I am, and he is buying a new Evo Lancer RS. When I buy myself a 3000GT VR-4, we're going to do a half mile long sprint. I have more racing knowledge than he does, will I be able to beat him with the 3000GT (I guess what i'm asking is, does the 3000GT have the power to beat out a new Evo Lancer RS)?

No.
and you
Get a brand new SRT4 with stage 2 and you should win in a 1/2 mile race. And you'll have a warranty and a much more reliable car than a 3000GT. Not AWD though.
