would like some input
lookin for a good car that will last me a few years or so, something quick/fast i prefer rwd, but ill do fwd or awd, in the price range about 4-5 thousand, also manual tranny would be nice, and please no bullsh*t about me only being 17 years old and cant handle power, ive been driving since i was 14 in everykind of weather, ive drove powerful trucks, my brothers Lincoln Mark VIII with a 4.6 Liter Cobra V8, and my dads 03 nissan spec-v, and other rwd V8's, mustangs, camaros, so i know how to handle the power, but im wanting some input on what to get...

I dont know, he is 17 years old so he may want something with low torque so he can control it a little better. I'm thinking an Eclipse.

Re: would like some input
You can probably find a good FC3S RX-7 Turbo II in that price range. 200rwhp isn't bad.
Me speaking from my crazy rotary nut point-of-view.

Re: would like some input
toyota echo, you can turbo it like burntrice.
I would suggest a project car. When your low on funds thats the best things to do. 1. 92-95 civic. Get one with high miles for around 1-2k swap out the motor for a jdm spec one. You could go just plain motor swap and build an all motor monster, or you could to the infamous "Ls/Vtec" swap and turbo. If you do all the work yourself you could prolly get away with it for 3-4k total, mb even less. 2. The more popular foxbody buildup is allways good. huge aftermarken support prolly cost you a lil more for this one though. 3. DSM. Get a talon TSI or Ecplipse GSX or GST, also a Lazer (forgot who makes those, pontiac?) all the same cars with diff names. Those cars have a really good motor in em that if treated right last for ever. You put a larger turbo on them and a few other goodies and you have one fast FWD or AWD car.

Re: would like some input
plymouth makes the laser, theres one for sale around here for 500, the exterior really good condition, interior in good condition and tranny is good, all it needs is the motor, if i was to get that what would be a good motor to drop into that?

Re: would like some input
No offense, but 95% of teenagers who say they can handle power...can't. The more confident they are...the higher the chance the car gets wrapped around a pole the first week. You can say you have as much experience as you want...but you wont convince anyone on here, because we've all heard it before, and we'll hear it again.
As to your question...there are plenty of suggestions here, and plenty of suggestions in the stickied thread in the street racing section. So start researching some of these cars, and take them on a test drive, see what you like best.
