what's the best rwd car

[GAWKY]

what is the best rwd car that i could get for around 5,000? i want it to be moderately fast and handle good. i would prefer a domestic car

[kman10587]

Probably a 93-97 Camaro Z28. I believe they handle better than the Mustangs that you can get for $5,000.

well, the camaro is faster and the mustang handles better. id suggest you get the mustang with the 302 (pre 96) cause theres alot more aftermarket for it than the camaro... even the 96+ with the 4.6 has more fatermarket but the 302 has alot more aftermarket and youll have more cash for the aftermarket parts.

hmmmm, fast, handles good, rwd, NISSAN 300ZX!!!! i will say more if i have to.

im going to have to agree with freakonaleash the 300z would be a better choice over the camaro or the mustang. you see so many of the mustangs and the camaro is almost as common. the tt300z would be the better choice for the money around 6 or 7 thousand for a 90-96 depending on the motor and cars options. i have nothing agaisnt the camaro the older mustangs are fucking awsome mainly the fastback style, but the mustang after the early 80's there to many of them.

ya but good luck finding a 300zx tt in good condition for under 5k... you'll find a 300zx NA for that price but if it aint a tt its a boat anchor. u can find a fox body stang with prolly less the 75k in great condition and still have 2 grand to work with, someone say supercharger?

how do you say it is a boat anchor?

[kman10587]

The 300ZX N/A only weighs 50-100 lbs. less than a Camaro Z28 from the same year, yet it lacks V8 power. It's not a boat anchor, but compared to the Z28, it's not very fast. Now if you want a lavish interior, beautiful design, and supreme build quality, then the 300ZX starts to make a lot of sense. But I don't think the creator of this thread is really looking for that.

300ZX TT (3.0 Liter Twin Turbo 300HP)
0-60 in 5.2 seconds
Car and Driver's Top Ten from 90-96 (all production years of the Z32 model)

I dont know many anchors that can do say that

[FordJunky]

lavish interior? i dunno about that, i think the zx has pretty bland interior, ive always like the mustang interior for its originality. and theyre both pretty comfortable so i dont see how ones better than the other... and theyre both solid cars, i dont see how the nissan build is "supreme" considering the mustangs platform was from 79 they did a good job with it.


and i called it a boat anchor because its slow... v6 mustang is also a boat anchor so dont get all up in arms because i made a negative comment about a zx.

someone didnt read that clearly, i said the NA is a boat anchor... as in naturally aspirated... as in not turbod... the TT is not a boat anchor nor did i claim it was

bmw... bmw... bmw...


E30!!!!

[kman10587]

The BMW is gonna be seriously underpowered and pretty expensive compared to a domestic V8 or twin-turbo import, but the handling and transmission are hella nice.

$5000

you people keep saying 300zxtt and the rest but ive yet to see a 300zxtt with less than 200,000 miles for that price, highly unlikely.
