Re: IF u had 20,000 to spend on a car

I think the fastest for that much would be the Dodge SRT-4 (i think they are around $21,000)

Re: IF u had 20,000 to spend on a car

Get a Nissan Skyline R32 GTR, drop in a catback (or run straight through headers is you're a redneck) Remove all carpet, seats, headliner, spare-tire and jacks, and replace with a lightweight reclining seat for the driver. Remove air conditioner, replace glass with plexiglass, remove ICE and relocate battery.

After that, dump the rest of the money, like 4,000 for crucial parts to make car faster.

I can get a Skyline R32 for south of $20,000 because I live in Canada

Re: IF u had 20,000 to spend on a car

96 ford thunderbird with no dents, no motor, and has a moonroof. Drop a supercharged 5.0 in it with a mustang cobra transmission conversion, tinted windows, 7" indash DVD/MP3 player, visor screens 2 JL W7's, ear plugs, all black super soft leather, fiberglassed interior trim, jet black paint job, 19 inch hyper black deep dishes with chrome lips (TSW Thruxtens to be exact, you can see them at TSW.com), and a borla cat back exhaust, HID lights, Xenon Body Kit (maybe). I would have to do some of the work myself, but I would do it. I love thunderbirds.

I would go with a used car... like a lexus is300, or mayube a used infiniti... high preformance. Or if your looking for new, you might be able to find a srt4

Re: IF u had 20,000 to spend on a car

I'd take an NSX, strip the whole car down and remove everything that adds weight, then drop $20k into the car on just engine mods.

Why would Mazda sell Ford their cars when Ford owns Mazda?

Anyway, there are several things I could go with 20 grand. One I'd like to do is get a nice 5.0 and hop it up nine ways to Sunday.

Re: IF u had 20,000 to spend on a car

300ZX TT. Stillen chip, stillen intake, stillen catback. If I was lucky that would put me at around 400 crank hp. Mid-to high 12s. Its not the fastest but it would make a nice street car. I see it in my future anyways.

Re: IF u had 20,000 to spend on a car

Well first off the thread is a year old, but since a mod put in his 2 cents ill put mine:

I would never do this, but the fastest would have to be the 5.0 Mustang Foxbody...doesn't get much easier/cheaper than that.

Re: IF u had 20,000 to spend on a car

I would go find an eclipse gsx for about 5-6Gs
Rebuild the motor internals
Regular mods(exhaust, intake, etc)
Put a 20g on it
Strip it bare
And to top it off CF everything

CF would cost about 60% of the 20Gs

Re: IF u had 20,000 to spend on a car

it may not be the fastest but, i would mod out my '92 civic hatch. starting with a b16, all the performance parts needed, and a turbo. then i would work on suspension, body, and interior. whatever was left over , i would use for gas, to go out racing.
