/o/, Whats the best car under 8k with a 0-60 of atleast 6-6.5 seconds, but, also handles very well? I was considering a miata, but, being an amerifag, and the fact that most roads out here are straight, I was considering something with power>handling. Bonus points if muscle car, I've always been fond of shelby gt's, but, obviously, I can't afford one yet. And how would insurance be for an 18 year old, on such a car? I've heard of some people having to pay more than 300 or 400 a month, just because they are under 25 or 21, fuck that. I mean if I have to wait until im 21 to get a decent car, I will. But I wouldn't mind spending 2 or 3 hundred a month. I live near chicago, if that makes any difference.

just get a Civic
modify it as you go
that way you end up with a good car and not garbage like muscle shit
>>13943656
Believe me, I know there are some crazy awesome roads across the country, but, for the most part, All i see are roads where power matters most. Even towards the southern border of wisconsin, most of the roads are straight, or there are maybe a handful of "tight," turns.
>>13943662
I'm just gonna assume this is bait.
Seriously though, I fucking hate civics. Not just because of /o/ either
>>13943647
400whp with slicks is a ten second quarter mile car, nigger. And Cobra IRS bolts right in. It'll handle on a budget.
>>13943671
no its not b8 muscle cars are pure shit

>>13943662
Civic si is a good choice really. Rwd bandwagoners will trash it all day but with a remap and a little work itll pull well over 200hp and handle like a cat on carpet. Plus you dont really have to worry about it falling apart.
Gtis come cheap. MX5s come cheap but are not fast accelerators. They handle beautifully though.
Bmw 328is are pretty nice and can be pretty cheap.
>>13943686

so a Civic driver hurt you in the past get over it
>>13943678
>IRS alone makes a foxbody handle
You are an idiot. Then again, that should have been obvious from just recommending a turbo and cam and not fixing the heads and intake manifold.
>>13943662

Only good answer in this thread. Not a Miata by any means, but it will go where you point it and the LS engines are fantastic.

>>13943698
I know civics are actually pretty decent when it comes to performance, but, I just never really liked them. Also, I really, really, want a rwd car. I wouldn't even take an awd, unless it was something like an impreza wrx or some other racer. Also, I've literally never driven a fwd car. I know they probably don't handle as bad as most people say, but, I really don't wanna take that risk. It also seems much easier to recover in a rwd car after making a mistake. Maybe thats just me though.
>>13943719
>>13943701
>>13943702
That's implying every fox under $5k doesn't already have GT40s and a cobra intake like everyone does. And I wasnt saying IRS alone makes it handle, but IRS is a start.
>>13943725
bait
watch out op this guy is here to shit up your thread with butthurt

IRS should not be the first step. The brakes and frame reinforcement come first, and fixing the LRA's linkage geometry.

not my fault youre autistic about Civics
>>13943611
I'd look at s2000, and 350z, maybe rx8 if low miles and clean.
The later model 350z had a better motor, iirc.
>>13943748
An S2000 for under 8k? I wish lol

Infiniti G35, its fairly quick- ive gotten 7 second 0-60 in my 04 sedan. Its rwd so you can do mad skidz (it's very predictable and easy to control), and it handles exceptionally well for the price and size of it. Insurance isnt going to be terrible because it's a sedan, but the coupe is faster if your willing to put more money into it. It's also an infiniti and is basically a 350z/altima underneath so its pretty reliable. You can pick up an 03-05 sedan with just over 100,000 miles for 6-8 grand

you forgot the "handles very well"
>>13944242
No, he didnt. F bodies are pretty competent in corners.
>>13944242
The F-body has always been the best handling of all the muscle cars. Even including the vaunted fox cars.

more than you have done apparently
they handle well compared to classic muscle shit and Mustangs wowee
not impressive

Sure thing.

First gen SHO, 220bhp V6 that did 0-60 in 6.6 stock

real weighty opinion you got there
f body fags and foxbody fags are the worst
>>13943611
I'd really like to recommend the miata and put in a turbo but if you're actually looking for straight line performance there are better cars for the money. Since I'm not an amerifat and know jackshit about muscle cars, I can't really give any recommendations aside from the foxbody meme.
>>13944339
>implying you have first hand experience
>>13943642
OP here, is it safe to say that most people on /o/ would approve of the firebird? Besides the G35, it seems like that would be one of the more realistic choices.
>>13944350
Don't give a shit about what others think. Seeking approval will never make you happy. But I would suggest trying the firebird or catfish camaro and seeing how you like them. Needless to say, v8 models only.
>>13944355
I don't care particularly what people think about my car, I just want to be 100% sure its one of the best i can get for the money.
>>13944367
Aren't those really uncommon, or more than 10k usually? Also, it would have to be a stick, i forgot to throw that in the OP.

You sound like a beemer guy then. If you can manage to find and msport package on a 3 series I doubt youll be disappointed but even the regular 328is aint half bad. Bmws dont hold value but dont be terribly afraid of reasonably high mileage. 250k and up me be getting a little hagard but anything in the 100s still has plenty of life in it and should be around your budget.
>Mfw i gave birth to a troll thread without even using bait
>>13944604
I actually hate most beemers, lol. Literally the only ones I like are the old sporty models, still, good advice.
>>13943748
Also s2000 yes, 350z is meh, and RX8s are a gamble. Id have one as a second car any day but if its all you have to carry you to work i wouldn't recommend it unless you are very experienced in mechanical maintainence.
>>13944621
Ah, well hell im out of ideas then.
>>13944629
Incase I do decide to go full out mexican, and get an old beemer, though. Which would be the best, assuming I'm gonna leave it all stock, except for a few simple things like ignition sparks, cool air intake, maybe a different exhaust, that kind of thing.
>>13944641
ideally an m3, but in your budget it might be tough to find a nice one. They do a m sport trim level on the 3 series that's everything an m3 is but the engine. I'd probably go E36 or E46 gen.

>>13945160
I'd have to say it depends on the color and how well its taken care of. Only firebird ive ever seen up close in person, was beat to shit and was only maybe 2k, lol. It was ugly as hell and the lights were all fogged up and shizz, but, I'm assuming it just had a really, really, bad owner.
>>13945253
I mean i like the shape and everything, but, in some ways, it does look like a cheap pos. Not that im going primarily for looks, anyway.
