as a rule of thumb:

the smaller the car,
the lighter the car,
the lower the car,
the less roof on the car,

the more fun it is


So Miata is the answer. Always Miata.

Gotta have a fast car dude. ;)


I'm slowly working towards that. Going to find me a Civic wagon RT4WD and turbo it.

That way I can get groceries, and beat expensive cars in races all at once.

I can just turbo my A4 Quattro, I mean, I get 30 more bhp by chipping it, and I'm already at 150 stock, so god knows what a Turbo, a sports exhaust and open airfilter will do to that V6.
Or the cheaper and more likely option, I'll just get 911 Turbo from the 80's or 90's.

You should paint them gloss black. Gloss black steelies look infinitely better.

I'm not gonna use a single second on making those rusty piece of shit rims look better. I might put winter tires on my current summer wheels instead and buy a new set of nice rims and tires when the spring comes.

Import > Muscle

now a days muscle cars suck in my opinion... Mustangs are a chick car now that all i see driving mustangs and camero's the only muscle car i like are the legit classic ones and the new challenger!!

But im ports will always win in my opinion you still get awesome gas you can tune them to be awesome and fast as shit.

I had a Scion tc with a turbo pushin 380hp it was one of the most fun cars I ever drove! Now I have a turbo 350z pushing 450 give or say and i can just whoop everyone lol

I also have an old 68 mustang boss 302 that is being restored!! and I think ima buy an old trans am with the good old t-tops..

German sports and exclusive cars is where it's at.
Though, there's a few ricecookers I would love to drive.

I'm increasingly falling in love with the Datsun 280z.

In my opinion, in a staight line an American big block will walk all over just about any import, supercars excluded. Why do you think 3-second quarter mile dragsters use them? But as soon as there's any sort of turning involved, that's where muscle cars fall painfully short.

Imports can be insanely fun, and very affordable and customizable. In the end, I feel that muscle cars and imports cannot be compared, they have VERY different purposes in life. And most Z's made are good looking IMO.

And btu shortie, there's no such thing as a 1968 Boss 302, they didn't hit the dealerships until the 1969 model year.

A smart man you are, Mopars are my jam. And rotary engines are one of my favorite designs of all time, Felix Wankel was a genius.

ummmm you have seen new US pony cars?

they are fucking good, and i am not a domestics kind of guy, but they are amazingly good cars.

i also doubt you have a turbo 350z, the VQ motor is terrible turboed unless you put serious work into it.

Agreed. I met a guy while I was working that had the 3rd 2012 Boss 302 to hit the dealers in the state of Ohio, and he was kind enough to show me the entire thing, top to bottom, just because I asked nicely. They are beautiful all around. It was one of these to be exact:

And Challengers also handle quite well, they would do better if they weren't so chubby. Mopar still clings to the old ways. :D
