<![CDATA[I need a new toy for next year, what should it be?]]>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.

Mike

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

You could really piss off the Porsche people and do a JDM EJ20T STi swap in there, put a GT30R turbo on it and you'd be golden 😄

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.

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...

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)

Kinda slippery...butt tends to slide all over.

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

"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.
