like i said above my mom owns a evo 8... some rally stuff done to it because thats what she does. there nice, but feel like a mercadyes... unconforatble as hell, plus i want something more sleek...

If i want to drive a rally car i will just take mine out, its a thrill though beause the turbo is big (twin scroll too) so it takes a bit for the boost to kick in, but when it does of **** you notice.... i want something i can fishtail a bit, and a non turbo car, turbo cars are kinda annoying to me... i dont have anything against them but i hate waiting for them to warm up or cool down. i am not looking for the fastest car out there, just funnest to drive... i wish rx7s had normal motors in them, my old 86 was so ****ing small.
i remember the 13b in my 3rd gen looked like it was no bigger then a mini-keg :woo: those engines are tiny but can be made to rev to high heaven if you really wanted it to.If they could make it reliable and not such gas guzzler,it would be sweet to see a quad rotory with a set up where only two of them are running at regular speeds then the other two kick in when hard accelerating! that would be nice.500 hp NA rotor with reinforced apex seals!!
and of course in a 3rd gen body,the best of them in IMO.
don't know if you are a fan of NA four bangers,but the integra type Rs of the last gen are really fun to drive-super lightweight,high revving and nimble.But anything below v-tech and it feels gutless and without any real grunt..unless you haven't heard the scream of a ITR or S2K ,you won't mind one bit keeping it revving high! S2ks are pretty tight as well..

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
For pure speed, i.e. an all-out drag car, get the Trans Am or the Cobra. Both respond well to modifications. The GTO is too heavy and with the 350Z, you're talking turbos and such to get the same kind of power out of it.

If you're gonna be driving it daily, though, you may want to think twice. I owned a 99 Trans Am. It was fast...I had the headers, torque converter, gears, etc...but quality-wise it was a turd. The little things started to get to me after a while. If you're still young, I'd say go for it...get one used and knock yourself out.

I have always loved cars, and i hate to say it (always against it) but i am going to get a fast car as my primary car... I have had all types of cars ranging from a H22 integra to a BUILT 400 sbc 86 rx7 (i do have pics if no one belives me). so i know what fast is... no not drag fast but i do have the correct sence if something is as fast as it should be. so i am thinking of 3-4 cars so far. BTW i am going for looks also. i am just wanting opinions

1. 350z (new) i dont know if the HP changed over time or what the 1/4 time is. looks are ok
2. 06 GTO (LS2) i LOVE the way they look with inteior, just real slow on bottom end... i heard there good highway cars
3. 03 trans am (LS1) i like the way they look, and there real quick... and cheaper. I dont know how quick they still are because i havent been in one for a while....
4. 03 cobra.. i am not going to get a new one, and i know for a fact that they are ****ing fast (not a ford fan... but i love cobras).

My mom drives a evo 8 and i like them but i dont want one or a sti as my main car, i want something with Rear wheel drive because i think those are more fun... and if i want to drive a AWD car i will just take my moms out.

Do you guys have any other car suggestions? I was looking at GNs but i dont like the body style that much... and i DONT want a ****ing rotory... break to much. anyways hit me back.
The best looking of those is the Z, but it's by far the slowest. If you want speed, the GTO is your best bet, and while it's not flashy, it is very clean looking and it gets noticed. The Cobra is a straight line monster and that's it, but still not really much (if any) quicker than the GTO. The Trans-Am is slightly better looking than the GTO, but might turn less heads, and is worse in every other category.

My personal pick would be the GTO.
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

If you live in a warm area, get an Ariel Atom. It's a four banger but you'll be able to beat ferraris. No heat or radio though...or doors, or side walls, or windsheild, or trunk...okay maybe it's not the best idea.

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THOSE!!!! are they mass producing yet or you still have to get on a waiting list.. thats in my price range for the slower one, but i can always put a supercharger or mabe turbo on it later... do you have a link i can find one at?

Kit cars always will end up costing double than what you expect after factoring in all the things like a donor car/motor/drivetrain, unexpected problems etc...

How much of a budget do you have?
