FASTEST CAR under 20k???

[LS1CamaroZ28]

If you spent 20K on modding ANY car you'd destroy anything on the road...WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BUY A POS CIVIC?!?!


And yeah, they do make twin turbo kits for the LS1's...a supercharger is more efficient, but it has been done.

LS1CamaroZ28: yer fergtting or never knew in the first place. that the rx7 is a turbo car. you can get a bone stock rx7 go pick yer new ride stop off at the first gas station and bring that puppy up another 50Hp before even getting home with it. not really best to do this with a rotery but still kinda possable. better if it was a supra TT.

with a camero yer breaking out the toolbox the wallet and gettin greesy before you see an extra 50HP.

what are you smoking with the money you'll save you can buy a pair of turbos

[NismoDrifts]

yeah, a 94 rex is gonna cost a SIGNIFICANTLY less than a 2000 camaro ss........

i love rotaries, the whole idea seems superior, honestly i think that if the piston engine didnt have so much popularity before the rotary came along, itd be in a much wider variety of cars

I think the fastest new car, 2002+ would be dodges new neon SRT-4. 205 hp, calimed 0-60 in under 6 seconds.

As for the fastest car under 20k we have a few options:

1. Buy a 90-94 miata (5K~8K) throw on a turbo kit (3K), then a TECII ECU (2.5K), full 3" turbo back pipes ($600) and you have yourself a sub 12 second car.

Make that a sub 12 second coffin.

ill have to find an srt4 neon and race it then. ive beaten 200hp modded neon before, so i guess we will see.

I must agree. If i get a 12 second car i want it to at least have some kind of a wheelbase.

[LS1CamaroZ28]

Jumping the boost is always an option. However, you can still get a 1996 SS Camaro for a lot cheaper than the 98+ (though the LS1 engine leaves more room for improvement)...still making 305 HP off the showroom floor, you have money to drop in for a nitrous set up or a supercharger. First though, it's exhaust mods, because that frees up a lot of power on domestics.

An LT1 F-body in decent condition can be had for less than 10k, and the rest can be used to build the engine and whatever else. There is a single turbo kit availabe as well as many intercooled and non intercooled supercharger systems. As foor the twin turbo LS1 kit, it is made by Incon, the company that developed the TT system that Lingenfelter uses on vettes. There is also a single turbo kit for the LS1 f-bodies. The fastest of which I believe has run a 10.76 or 10.67( can't remember which) on a stock bottom end.

sorry i meant 20k total, if we each had $20k i guarantee i could produce a faster civic than whatever you spent your money on. anyways i'm so f'ing sick of this same muscle car vs compact car arguement...buy whatever the fuck you want (while you can: no more camaros or firebirds in 2 years :finger: )

btw how is a civic a POS? it gets better gas mileage, lasts longer and most people who aren't inbred think they look better

[-cy-]

My take on civics is that they aren't worth putting tons of money into to make fast. They are economical cars that last, but they aren't cars made for speed. If you are dead set on import you could just buy a nice import that was made for speed. I don't particularly like civics b/c where i live there are a ton of civics and integras with crappy body kits, lots of stickers, and really bad sounding exhaust (coffee can exhaust). I don't have anything against good performing imports, but my experience is that most civics aren't fast.

Isn't there anything to be said for the raw power of domestics with big V8's? Is it not enough to have a GODLY sound, huge HP and torque, really good strait line, and now fairly good street handling?

[bluevette74]

well im not imbred, and i dont like the way civics look! So since i like domestic cars that means that im a country farmer that bangs my sister, if so, i guess that means that your an asian, who is 4 ft tall, and doesnt have half the stuff on your car that your stickers represent! And yes a camaro ss will beat a stock rx7 when your racing 1/4 of a mile, but i dont think that you can get a 2000 ss for under 20,000, i would just go out and get a 69 vette 454 for about 15000, put a blower on it for about 2k, and then smoke the rx7, and the ss.

[fortyoz2eric]

alright, forget the inbred comment (and no i'm not japanese and there isn't one sticker on my car)...but seriously what 1/4mile time do you think that vette w/ a blower would get?
