Agreed. 350 hp for 40 grand is an unbeatable combination.

Vette... just hope you can afford the insurance.

Or LS1 Camaro SS stock would be good. then you've got almost 20k for to be work done to it...

You won the lotto?

haha not really, i just wanted opinions, though once i won $2. but my question is what brand new cheaper import (ie honda, nissan, etc.) would be the best car stock to take and mod it performance wise and body wise. I really like the looks of the old hondas not made anymore and was trying to think what car new to buy then mod it to run around a 10 and look sweet. I have about $40,000 to spend, although all work will be done professionally. Can it be done, and whats the best way to do it???

I'd wait and see how good the WRX STi or the Lancer EVO are when they come out later this year...and if price projections are correct, you'll still have about 9 to 8 large after you buy either one brand new.

i'll hafta look into that - whats the best honda or nissan to buy??? how much would I be looking at to make it run 10s?

[J_Spec_NiTeMaRe]

well for a nissan or honda....


Well any Honda you buy at all, excluding the S2000, you could easliy run 10's with the 20-30 large left over. Personally, I'd take an Integra. But if you want ONLY Honda, then a Civic is the obvious choice. However, a 10 second Prelude or Accord is alot rarer (and expensive) than a 10 second Civic. You could get an S2000 for around 30k, but its probly used and with only 7-10k left over, you have the potential for 10's, but I wouldnt gurantee anything.


As for a Nissan, a Skyline running 10's is alot more than 40k. Unless you want like an R32, its still a pain in the ass to get one and still expensive. I'd say a 95 300ZX Twin Turbo is the obvious choice for Nissan. The slightly less powerful 240SX with SR20/Silvia conversion is still really cool, but I'd still rather have a Z. Both cars will easily run 10's with 40k in mind.

if i buy the honda brand new, which model is the best to buy to later upgrade, and with what stock options? i dont wanna buy it with all the body options then end up replacing it with a tighter looking kit. what do you think?
