best cheap 80's sports car, which, why?

[billclinton]

What do you think the best 80's sports car is thats affordable?

[5 Point 7]

Either a Supra or even cheaper and mabye faster a Dodge Daytona Shelby Z (Turbo 2). Have one and I love it!

[freakonaleash1187]

i say either the rx-7 or datsun 280Z. those are two nice little sports cars.

[CaTasHtRoPhE 67]

rx-7 or supra

[racer_in_black]

RX7 or corolla GTS (RWD)

[billclinton]

no body likes the 80's 300ZX? surely its better then a corolla GTS?

Miata: Light weigh rwd, autocross demon. My only complaint is they are convertables... I hate converts! but thats just me... Dont nock this car off your list do to the label as a "chicks car". these cars own!
88 Fiero: mid/lightweight(about 2750lb's) mid-engine car. The engine that isn't much but an engine swap isnt that hard to do in this car. there are many v8 fiero's out there. the northstar v8 is a popular swap. Reason I chose 88 in piticular was becuase that is the year Pontiac got the Fiero right. It finaly got a revised suspension amungst other things that I cant remember atm..
CRX: Yeah i said it. These cars are really light and really cheap to buy and practicle!
Omni GLH/Shelby GLHS: I dont know jack about them but I remember reading about them being preaty cool. lightweight turbo 4bangers is about all I remember..
corrola gts(ae86): Lightweight FR car that is gaining popularity again do to a cartoon. Great car though if you can find one. ATM I dont remember much about them. 4age and yup.. there goes the rest of what I remember.
Mistubishi Starion/Dodge Conquest: FR turbocharged 2.4L 4bangers. dont know much about them though.(other then they look bad ass)
Foxbody Ford Mustang. GT or LX: at around 3000lb's stock with a 5.0L v8... HUGE aftermarket with tons of cheap stuff. It was and still is one of the best bang for your buck sports cars you can get!
Mazda GT-X/ ford TS3: Light weight AWD turbocharged. what more needs to be said? well, allot but saddly I dont know anything about them..
z31 300zx: no info, sorry

[racer_in_black]

how the hell do you figure a 300zx is better than a toyota? I'll admit on the straight away it's better but for everything else hell no.

[billclinton]

lol what are you talking about. MK3 sucks. Low on power, heavy, dosent handle very well, and imo very plain looking. The Z is all around better in my opinion.

[billclinton]

by, toyota, i auto maticly thought you ment the supra. the corolla gts, is an alright car but its ugly as hell and slow.

[Dr. Love]

Dodge Daytona turbo. I think they run low 15's stock or is it even 14's I can't remember.

[Rakshas]

1989 Trans am GTA.

Sexy body, handles decently, 340lbs of torque.

[billclinton]

yeh i heard those dodge daytonas, or a certain model had the most HP per cubic inch then any factory mopar ever. I think it was the shelby turbo II or something of that nature

[lucki17]

turbo rx7, what else needs to be said, that car still kicks ass.

[freakonaleash1187]

the 300zx turbo does high 14s. plus it looks better than the supra or gts or rx7.
