i was going to say a 350z...but its 6 speed...and actually fast...but if you must go 5 speed and slow, id take a wrx...just for the awd and maybe be accepted by the tst community

lets not even say the word bench racing but stock for stock and price for price...im not going to lie, i've driven each one of those cars and really liked em all but we all know what i picked in the end...i have a couple video's i can send...i am willing to like go to some track day and let people drive my car...everyone thinks they're overpriced and slow but 95% of them haven't driven or raced one...i paid 15,000 for mine and have NEVER been more in love with a car in my life...

I dont think they are overpriced. but they are a bit heavy and slow to say the least without any mods. As some may know my friend John(EIXO) on here had 350 which iv seen progress from stock to not. And he threw lots of money at it and just made 386 to the wheels, which in turn made the car fast. needless to say he got rid of it. After having a ride in the car after every mod changed my perception of the car acually having a chance to be fast.. But as everyone knows you have to pay to play.

And to not completly jack this thread. id say go with an wrx if u can find a decent one.. or possibly a SRT-4 if you can even find one..

[marshallpre1]

You can get 350Z's pretty cheap now, I'd say thats a nice buy. But if youre gonna DD it, I've always liked an RSX or an SRT 4

OR you can double your budget and get a Supra

i do agree with you...but i've also seen ls1 camaro's, mustang gt's, sti's, evo's, stage 1-2 srt's, rsx-s's with clutch/flywheel, cams, chip, i/h/e and STRIPPED all in my rear view...given i've been SPANKED by many cars and im not claiming my car to be god of the automotive world because it's nowhere near it...im just saying stock for stock for stock i know what i'd do with 14-15 grand again in a blink of an eye...so far after 12 thousand miles i've put on the car sinse i bought it i've done 3 oil changes, on my 4th set of tires, gas and just put new pads on it...it is the most reliable car i've ever had...gone outside when it was 12 degrees and frost covering my car and it starts right up no hessitation...and people who are going to pull the DD card...there was ONE day so far that i didn't drive my car because the snow was too bad...and i wouldn't want to drive in it with anything other than a jeep anyway...i REALLY hate coming off as like c0cky or arrogant or biased or anything along those lines...because i'm really not...i just NEVER expected what i got and would suggest it to ANYONE in the market and again i would let anyone who asks atleast get a ride in it if not let them take it for a spin

[Omar_MSP]

i personally, i would invest in something much better. if you can afford it of course, just saying, an rsx would be weak sauce compared to what you reallllly want.

Get A Boat.

[marshallpre1]

There are lots of decent Supras. But anyways, back to topic... Well, if we're talking about 350Zs I would consider getting one of the later model year ones. I heard those are less prone to suffer tranny issues.

And the guy with a Z.. 4th set of tires with 12K miles? Holy crap, do you burn out at every light?? lol. Zs are nice, but yes it does seems a little more difficult to make power with simple bolt ons. Given the price though, they're awesome. I wouldn't mind DDing one of those... maybe if my Corolla magically takes a dump on me

[ThePrimerSuspect]

yea i never lost to a z. even stock.

oh, and im thinking of selling my srt. in case you're interested.

[NJGOAT]

To the OP, have you ever considered a GTO? The earlier models are selling pretty cheap and you may even be able to squeeze it enough to get into one of the '05 LS2's. Awesome bang for the buck, great interior, easy to mod and the insurance won't rape you either.

To the guy with the Z...if you're stock and you claim that you beat LS1 cars, I'm going to have to go get my boots, cause it's getting deep in here. The FASTEST stock Z's run like 13.7. The fastest stock Camaro's run 12.9. There wasn't a LSx car built that wouldn't stomp on a Z in a straight line with all things being equal.

I'm not hating on the Z, I personally like them, but don't go around over-estimating you or your car's abilities. Beating a couple "fast" cars, doesn't mean you can go babbling on about the Z's superiority. There's a "fast" food chain and the Z is in there, but definitely no where near the top.

[jules]

nj goat u beat me to the punch... i was going to ask him about some domestic car's i'm a fan of some cobra's as well...but i'd much ask r u buying it cash or financing.. if financing i'd recommend trying to save up for the car and not have to make car payments.....

[CleanNeon98]

Id get the Type-S. Its fuel efficient, quite reliable, well built, nice interior, nice exterior, and i've seen them modded pretty nicely too.
