Need some advice

[Detwa]

Well I dont want a car that is 2 complex and hard to get replacement parts. So that should lead me to domestic cars. Or common imports.

there are people with 700hp vr4's on the stock trannie, its very strong its just there synchro's get worn over time pretty quick.

imo you have such a huge range but since you limit yourself to import then, like everyone else has been saying, 300zxtt, vr4, supra, rx-7 or even a 2nd gen eclipse gsx, and mod that

oh and a mr-2 or a m3

[igota20hpweedeater]

m3's are nice, real nice!!!! but damn talk about costing a lot to mod!!!!

Rotaries are reliable enough.

If you keep an eye on your engine. Considering it actually burns oil to run, you just have to have upkeep on it.

Rotaries wont shit out on you if you rag it out... *thinks back to memories of 110mph in 3rd gear*

I'd have to say that the best bang for your buck in buying cost and modding cost would sadly enough be a 1989 5.0. They are very cheap and easy to mod compared to just about any import and are reliable. A nice 5.0 will run about 5k, and parts to put it around 400 hp to the crank will run another 2000, give or take. Just my opinion though.

Just get a c4 corvette from anywhere from 6 to 13k and mod it with lingenfelter parts. It works for me.
