For five grand? Wont run. Not any of the fast ones at least. Most of the crate motors alone, not including shipping, install if you have someone else do it, and mods, cost over five grand.

I say DSM. 1G AWD.

DSM mainly because for 5 grand you can have one that runs 11's

and i say this because, i know of one for sale that will get into the 11's with a little tuning tlc

Put it in the bank for a couple years and ride a bike.

As somebody (don't remember who) said

Fast
Cheap
Reliable

You can only pick 2. You want fast and cheap, it'll spend alotta time on jackstands anyway. So why not save yourself the $5,500 and trouble, and just start riding your bike now.

If you can only bankroll $5,500, chances are, you wont be able to fund, fuel, or insure most fast cars.

You could get a TD. They are just hard to find in really good shape, well, for sale anyway.

Keep your current F-body and save up a bit to drop in a 350. It'll look better and handle better than a Fox body and it'll have some modding potential, which your current 305 does not really have.

OH SHIT! Cassies bro, wassup? good ta see ya back.

Well if I had 5 grand as a budget Id get the DSM. get it like for 2 grand and add 3 in mods, youd be tapping into the 11's

[RSturbo]

If you want to go fast then get a motorcycle.But for $5,000 you might be able to find a foxbody allready moded, I dont know where you live but most dsm's around here are hard to find with a turbo and if you do most arent in good shape...i had to drive almost 500 miles to get my Laser Rsturbo.

But you might find a good one for $5000. You might be able to find a moded civic with turbo or supercharger, ive seen some for around that much.

Good luck!

yeah i was thinking about doing that with getting a 350 but the only thing is its an auto and if i put money into that i would want to make it a manual and that would include a new transmission, clutch evertything and alot of work, the work i would enjoy though i am going to BOCCES next year for auto tech but how much do u think that would cost to change it into a manual and get the 350 or would i just be better off selling it and getting a new car?, what is a DSM also i have never even heard of them?
