Get some V-TEC. Add nawzzzz. Run 9's.


In all honesty, I'd vote miata. Cheap, fun, rwd, and from what I've heard, very reliable.

[Chiquae07]

i wouldn't vote miata, because you can't drive that car in some places due to things called snow....need somethin very durable in all weathers. a convertible isn't a good idea. what would happen if they flipped? i don't think for a 1st car they would install a roll bar.

What's snow?











J/K. Not really. I live in Texas. A couple days ago it was 80 degrees. A week before Christmas, I was sweating while driving around.



WTF.

[Chiquae07]

i could basically say the same right now, im basically an hour from the dreaded lambeau field of the green bay packers. no snow at all.

lets just say in the fwd sentra, if i pull the e-brake going about 5 mph, on a 90 degree turn in the neighborhood, the car will do a drift motion, basically oversteer, but not really. its kind of like doing dougnuts with trays on the rear tires, except no trays, and no traction.
example

allows vans to do this

and this is why you need a safe 1st car. surprisingly i found this searching for 3000gt snow

I think all cars would tend to do that in ice that bad, no matter how safe

Yup... basically.

I started driving in a '98 S10 4.3l 5-speed, got a '96 Z28 next at 17, put a lot of miles on it, got the GTP last August, and hopefully it's going to be traded for a Black '04 Pontiac GTO Friday, i'm 21 btw, people think I went down in getting the GTP over the Z28, but my GTP is faster than the Z ever was...

Was the Z28 stock... and did you drive it right?


Of course now, the GTP should be quicker than a stock LT1 F-Body, it's got all the good mods...

GTP's are nice cars.
