Re: jetta

SRT4 is alright, I have been in one of them a few times. Interior I think was built by rubbermaid. Bland and grey in the few I have been in, seats were pretty cool though. If you are looking for a new car I would recomend that over the others. Its certainly faster than them. Its already turbocharged so you don't need to worry as much about the motor breaking under boost. Still has all the characteristics of all high power FWD vehicals though.

nah 200hp isn't enough, you know what is all about when it comes to rides, you're always looking for more.......what about the SRT-4?, its turbo'd and 215hp stock.
If you want much more than that, then you shouldn't be looking at FWD vehicles, unless you're willing to do some serious suspension and LSD tuning.

Re: jetta

RWD like which ones?
The ones I know of are either too old or too expensive.

Re: jetta

Thats going to be tough finding something RWD and 2000+ for 10000. You may be able to find a Gt mustang for that (don't know if you are really interested) a long shot would be an Fbody. If you go AWD you could find a Subaru WRX, jetta or something.

Re: jetta

2000 and up, ten grand...your best bet is a '99-'04 Mustang GT. You might get lucky and find one for ten grand. I really, really doubt you'll find a V8-powered Camaro or Firebird from those years for that kind of money, but you can always go with the V6, which is still plenty quick for the money.

Re: jetta

get a 1997-98 nissan 240sx

8k or 9k for a lightweight, RWD, nice looking, reliable, decently fast car that will outhandle any mustang/fbody, plus you can build the stock motor pretty quick or swap a turbo engine and run very quick

Re: jetta

A 240SX is a nice car don't get me wrong but it dosn't really fit his bill. He wanted a 2000+ and said that 200 hp wasnt enough. 155 HP will surely not be enough if 200 wasn't enough. In stock form its not really a superior performer, I don't bring modifications into this because with modification you can make nearly any car match any other car.

what makes you so sure that the 240SX will out handle a 2000+ F-Body???

if low 16's is decently fast, then that RSX Type-S that passed me on the highway tonight must have been a friggin rocketship.

You're out of your mind if you think a 240SX will outhandle a 4th gen. F-Body. It may feel like it is, and it may be more balanced, but the F-Body simply has more lateral grip to work with than the S13 or S14.
