what car to choose?

ok the time has come were i want a new car to play with.
but the only problem is i dont know what to get. i would like to get
at s2000, a mr2 spyder,or a supra or a skyline.but i dont know
what the aftermarket is like for these cars. i was looking for some insight as to which on has the overall best performance and handling capabilitys. because i dont want to have a hard time finding parts for a car.i dont want to go full race i just want to get it to mabey inbetween 4 to 600hp area nothing to massive for the road but yet if i want to go to the track i can give others a good run. i have recently got my cash out of a cd i have had for some time and am getting a good bit from my sign in bonus for the army plus i have a bit in savings.
or should i just go and dump all my money in my 94 accord i allready have?

personally i love accords, so i'd say keep it and work on it. get a new motor, turbo and rework the internals. with money, anyone can go out and buy a fast car... but its a lot more fun to make one.

unless you wanna pay our your as to get a sklyine here forget that. but there are after market for all of those cars. id say SUPRA. my friend is hella into them and they are great cars. you can easlity make your horse power goal with a mk4 and with a bit more work and maybe a little less $$$ you could do it with a mk3. s2000 i wouldnt wanna tune its too much work. get the supra wither mk3 or mk4. great cars fast cars. either that or a TT rx-7

The cars will run you dry on insurance and if you have any $ left after the cost of the car and insurace, aftermarket parts will take that away and leave you broke but hey, that's what it takes to be a P I M P. Go Skyline or Supra. Nothing like TT.

no i am very for real i am not gonna put that much into my motor no. i dont think it would be posible for a street car.
and no i am not trying to look cool i should have even mentioned it in the first place. the money was from a cd that was built for me for collage but since i am going into the military there is no need for me to pay for school, therefor more money to play with. i dont want to spend it all on a car or to fix one up i had planned on getting started with a houseafter the choice of what to do about the car i want or weather to fix mine up

i dont really know much about cd's and all but i would put that 67 thousand, well i would keep about 7000, so i would put all the 60,000 and put it into my savings for my life with my future family. for a house or kids college. you could always sell your current accord and buy a newer one and put some mods on that

A Porsche is an import But I know what you meant...For that money though I would get a Corvette, a Viper, a Porsche, an NSX, and many other cars before I would stoop so low as to buy a Toyota lol, that's just me though

i owuld buy a 930 turbo restore it then have alotta money left over to keep it running and do other things. i only suggested the supra because it was one of his options and it seems to be what hes into.

on another note... there needs to be a seperation of imports kuz european cars ar so much different from japanese. it makes things complicated

Thumbs up

Invest the money! Let it make more money for you then you can blow the money you made off of it! Please be resonable and don't blow that money you can do so many things with it that are alot more important. With cash like that you could earn some serious $ with it if you know where to invest! A good thing to look into would be realestate you could put alot down and pay it off quick and sell it and make more profit b/c you don't have alot of $ wasted on intrest. Think about it!
