Exclamation Lookin For My First Car! Something That Meets These Specifications

Sporty guy car, as in, not eclipses. Under or around 10k with good gas mileage, reasonable insurance, and a manual transmission. Something like a prelude or integra becuase i have been lookin at those 2 lately and seem to like them

you're a manual guy, I like your style. But in my standards, manual tranny and fwd cars don't do justice.

Well, most of the good gas mileage, low insurance cars tend to be FWD. There is always the 300ZX and the 240SX, though.

Who really cares? He's looking for a practical but sporty daily driver, not a performance vehicle.

no really, that was a question directed to you, not a rhetorical question.
I also drive a fwd car, it handles great below 90mph range, and good daily driver, it'll get you from point a to b, even with engine malfunction. But in terms of performance and fun level, I got jealous of Mustangs, which is sad. And that's why I also bought a Z32. manual tranny with rwd, you can glide on the ooomph and speed. with the t-tops dettached, it's euphoric.

as for the KG2325, get a 240sx or accord coupe.

Prelude VTEC and Integra GS-R are better than Accord coupe IMO...

Eh, they fit his criteria perfectly. I suppose an Accord coupe would work as well, though.

Re: Lookin For a Car That Meet These Specifications

... you can do burn outs in ANY car dude. I Personally drive a 70's RWD Buick which can light 'em up, but we got my friends 75 hp Ford pickup to do a burn out, and I've done them in countless FWD cars.

I'd suggest a VTECH prelude or a 240... even an SI lude if you dont want to spend more. But you can get a pretty built VTECH lude for like 7,000, and thats with heads exhaust intake etc... plus its a 4 seat car (Though it sucks to sit in the back) for insurance purposes, so it wont cost all that much.

Yeah, my top 3 picks would be a 92-96 Prelude VTEC, 94-01 Integra GS-R, and 89-93 240SX SE hatchback

fine, I think I should have a more horsies in my FWD than that Ford. Tell me how to do burnout with an auto tranny? Because I tried to go from neutral to drive, and in that same second, pushed the gas, and instead of squealing it as I done before, it jerked like the front end axle was going to break-off. So, far as I've done burnouts, it's always been with my Z32.

Re: Lookin For a Car That Meet These Specifications

i dont believe you can do burnouts on an automatic UNLESS you get a handbrake installed to control only your back brakes.
