i've never posted a response to these types of post before because i could never stand them.

i would never give someone advice to someone who starts off wanting to get a car for streetracing right from the get go and not even know his options or the large gap in power and performance between his choices ( eclipse and 3000GT? accord V6?integra? too vague top of the line of each model has too much of a power gap 160hp vs 320hp ). this leaves me to think that he shouldn't be street racing right off the bat and learn his cars first.

if he came and ask what kind of car i should get that performs like this and that etc i would gladly help him.

Re: Need me a street racer!

TatII is right you cant just start out with a fast car and expect especially when its obvious that the person has very little knowledge of the cars they are looking at. First off the power ranges are completely backwards and the cars themselves have completely different engine setups v6tt awd over a i-4 fwd. Do some more research and get your power ratios in a more reasonable area. Whoever suggested the ws6 yeah its a fast car but have you ever tryed to drive one in the rain and the srt4 suggestion yeah everyone wants a family sedan with a turbo same with the lancer nothing a but a way for dsm to try and get in the market with the wrx. As it stands the 3000gtvr4 or the v6 accord would be your best bet. for 25k you could get a ttsupra or a rx7 do soe more research dont look at what everyone else has 25k can get you a really fast car but dont get one for street racing unless you know how to drive. So know one bitches about it these are all opinions so fuck off if i upset you.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.

An SRT-4 is a great car for the $$. 230hp, 0-60 in 5.8, and all for only about $22k.

You can always go for a late 80's M3 or 3-series coupe of that time. Even a mid 90's 318Ti would be a fun choice. Bump the power up with a turbo or supercharger and get ready for some shit-eating grins. They've got great handling right out of the box, the top end is there as well, but they tend to lack 'street' acceleration in stock trim.

Re: Need me a street racer!

Yeah sorry about that i was running off of 4 hours of sleep and was up since 12 that night. To finish the first sentence you cant buy a fast car and expect to go beat up on every car on the street. An srt4 might be fast but its ugly as hell for about 12k you could get a 300zxtt and then you have 13k to put into the motor. Hell you could buy a 93-95 civic and put a b-series or even an h-series motor in it and have about 8-10k to put into it. So many possibilities id rather have a sleeper than something the wigger up the street has, just cause its a civic doesnt meen its rice. Ive seen plenty of fast civics with jdm lip kits, carbon fiber hoods and hatches, nice racing wheels, racing seats and so forth that run in the 12's with b16a turbo.

Re: Need me a street racer!

Dear GOD if I had a dollar for every time one of these was posted...
BTW go with the accord...my pops has an '04 EX V6 Sedan...sweet ass interior and relatively quick...plus if you get a 6-speed coupe, you'll theoretically run low 14's and still have a sweet new car, reliability, and gas mileage to boot.

Re: Need me a street racer!

another two cents here that will probably go on being completely ignored. the guys saying not to buy anything too fast r absolutely right. personally i know how to lift my foot of the gas pedal in the rain, so i would without a second thought go with the LS1 camaro or firebird over ANY front drive sedan or VR4. but if u have more money than brains like some people... yeah im thinkin a civic with a 6" diameter muffler is the car for u
