Best for Under 30gs

[Kiro]

So I've been set on STi which i still really like and scine there was a problem with the one during the week made me think , what else could i be getting that is

-Stock
-Bigger aftermarket
-Fast
-New(ish) or new
-5/6 speed

Any suggestions w/ or w/o links would be great. Thanks

A used 9-5 aero fits all those but the aftermarket support isn't there. I hear there's gonna be a mid range evo soon, that should be a very good car.

buy my srt-4 for 15k, 10k to be the first rwd srt-4 (take it to Ray) and another 5 to put you in the 10's....

[CHAOS]

you could try for an evo....

[Kiro]

me i am STi> Evo , as for SRT-4 gimme some links ill check it out

[CHAOS]

so what you really want is an STi? lol so buy one.

[FlashFive]

well an sti is great, but if u are looking for something a bit different and just as good, if not better in some cases, I would have to say a mazdaspeed3. Its not as fast, esp from a dig, but it is still quick as hell, it def has a big aftermarket backing, which is still getting bigger, and you can get a brand new one with every option for under 28K, or can get one with the standard options for around 23k. If I had the money it would be the speed3.

Here is also a video of a new wrx vs. the speed3:

a rwd srt-4 would crazy

[Scapegoat]

a rwd srt-4 would crazy

its certainly tempting.... I bet it'll be done 10 years from now when they can be had for 5k

but right now, I've heard the cost would be around 10k...

but, if i were to have it done I've have the car shortened and turned into a coupe while having that work done...

the wheelbase wouldnt be long enough

The best performance cars you can buy under 30g's right now are as follow's:

-C5 Corvette, Z06 is attainable if you look for a deal.

-'05/'06 GTO with the LS2.

-STI or EVO, either of these can be sketchy if you don't know the pedigree of the used car you are buying.

Yeah, the used ones go cheap. You could get a c30 and make it fast with the cash left over.

But you sound set on a sti, so why not get one?

[TalonTsi97]

Like i said in your other post, It takes time to find the rite car, there shouldn't be a rush. You will be happy in the end to wait and get exactly what you want. I seen to many friends rush and not wait and they have been unhappy with the car's they choose since. If you want an sti then don't settle for less unless you choose to get an evo then your not settling for less ;)

[TalonTsi97]

I'm not a big fan of the color but if i was in market for a car I'd definitely check this out: http://www.tristatetuners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50185
But if you an sti then just wait it out

This.

You can get an early 2000s Z06 for 30Gs really easy.

Very good choice, something i didn't think about. I never gave thought to where these cars are priced at now but you should be able to get one for a good deal by now.

[95gstnj]

i think you should test drive an audi s4. youll like it

C5 z06

[W_Evo]

Evos have cheaper aftermarket parts and can be made faster with little money. Everything for subys is expensive. Plus evos are easier to work on.


I love STi's but I'm just saying.

[Scapegoat]

if you want cheap aftermarket either go domestic.. stuff for mustangs, camaros, firebirds... cheeeap

[moiz87]
