I need a new toy for next year, what should it be?

[wa2fastcamaro]

Well most of you know that my Camaro is now gone, it was hard giving it up because that was the nicest car I have ever owned. Well I figure its time to figure out what to buy for next summer, so I can look for it this winter. I am looking for something under 8 grand and has to be fast, easy to work on and have a nice aftermarket for parts. Now since the Camaro wasn't actually mine, my dad gave it to me to drive and I had only paid him $1500 for the car. So this means I will have to sell some of my toys.

I was thinking about something along the lines of a 84-96 corvette or maybe a porsche 944. But I am not sure.

I have a bunch of Fiero's and 70's Trans AM's and Firebird's, but I want something that has a little luxury and good handling.

In the words of Kevin smith.
"cheap, fast. Reliable; pick 2" Your not gonna get a fast nice luxury car for less than 10. Under fifteen, you might wanna check out used Lexus IS300's(one at corwinn), or for more luxury, check out a lincoln LS. good luck with a new vehicle, it will be hard to find something to please you after you had that camaro.

Well there's a lot that can pleas eme after that camaro, it was set up for race, and was not a comfortable car to drive, exhaust was loud, suspension stiff, and it wasn't fun to work on.

I don't want a luxury car but, you know, something with leather, power everything. The key is it has to handle road course racing, so handling is a big thing.

928! YEAH DO IT! or a 88 944 t. those are pimp

[dubbsy]

my car for $2800, $1500 on a low-mile aluminum longblock, $2300 on a vortech blower, and the rest into shocks/sways/springs

and just enough luxury to keep a guy happy yet keep it simple.

you sure you want leather for road course racing? Kinda slippery...butt tends to slide all over.

Under $8k though....hmmmm.....240SX, 300ZX, 2.5RS, ummm maybe you can get an older BMW?

I agree.

And throw a 350 in there.

Thats my answer for everything.

Also, how can you hate working on these cars?! LT1's are a blast to work on, and really easy.

AND when they break, they're cheap as hell to fix due to the abundance of repair parts on hand at EVERY parts store in ND....wonder why that is?

I don't understand what you are trying to say.

[Guest]

I was being dumb/sarcastic stating that the reason there are parts for 350's in EVERY parts store in ND is because they break so damn often. Its partially true, there wouldn't be a supply of all the repair parts for these motors if there wasn't such a demand for them to be repaired. (I know, I know...many more 350's on the road than probably any other motor config in ND)

that you're a homo because you tell people to put a 350 in EVERYTHING.

Does that upset you THAT much that you have to call me a homo?

[PSiedTSi]

relax its just blake...

i would say hey my 240sx could be for sale but the under $8k thing kinda dampens my enthusiasm to sell it. Ever looked into an SC300 5spd? Nice luxury and its a non-turbo supra all in 1 package...

[btleier]

don't take it personal, I call alot of people homos.

[wa2fastcamaro]

Well I just so happen to have a 88 944 Turbo S Porsche, engine dosen't run but the body and transmission are perfect. Maybe I should put a SBC 350 in there, only thing is the kit is like 4 grand and that might make the car a little nose heavy.

I still think I like my corvette idea, I have had 2 C4's and I kinda like them, other than no interior room.

Ill sell you my car... SVT focus and it was made to handle. Power everything, premium sound system, heated leather ( with cloth inserts so you dont slide all over hell when cornering ). 6-speed Getrag ( same as mini cooper-s ) Blah blah blah.

Its a really good handling little car pulled a .89g on the skidpad, and for $2200 for a use or $2700 for a new Vortec supercharger at 7psi on stock internals, minor fuel mods, and a good tune you can hit 250+ whp. Throw on a set of Tein SS coilovers, some strut tower braces and your good to go. The car has the biggest sway bars made for it on there stock already.

But im sure you dont want to spend what I need for it.

I bet your car is nice, but I am not a ford guy and I have hated focus's since they started making them.

Well after the way Luther Family Ford treated me last time I was in there, and the luck I have had with this ford.... ill never be a ford guy again. Sorry but every domestic I have owned ( every car I have owned ) has been a royal peice of shit.

Im just looking to rid of this car for something, but im sure ill be stuck with it because im a retard and bought it new.
