What is the funnest car stock under 5k?

Miata Is Always The Answer

>>14979336
Any car can be fun.

Handles well? Fun.
Cheap v8? Fun.
Boring car you can wring out and beat on? Fun.

I'm looking into getting a Toyota mr2 spyder ive seen a few stock ones under $5k . Then I'd swap a 2zz in it .

Make sure to swap in the anti-snapoversteer module as well so you don't crash

MR-S doesn't have the snap oversteer issue like its predecessors Anon.

>>14979336
Fun is subjective. Foxbody or third gen is a good bet. Miata is a good bet. C4 corvette is a a good bet. Any sports car really.

>McLaren Mustang

Is that just a Mustang with Mclaren-themed Vinyl or did Mclaren actually have any involvement?

>>14979527
Yea, was supposed to be top trim before the 5.0 came back.

>>14979548
Yeah, I wish Foxes came with those box flares. Shit is cash.

>>14979357
So what's your favored choice?

>>14979523
I was told foxes were worthless stock...but I have no money or know how on modding

It's not a Mustang it's a Capri and they do come with box flares

>>14979426
Hmm upon closer inspection it is a Mustang. They must have repurposed the package for Mercury

>>14979679
>McLaren Mustang on the side
>it's a Capri
Well done, Sherlock, you've cracked the case.

>>14979691
It's a Capri package. That must be a prototype.

>>14979700
A Capri is a mustang with a bodykit.

>>14979712
Essentially yes, but it is a little more than that. They were marketed and sold by mercury and had other differences in trim and interior. The difference between a mustang GT and a LX would be closer to "just a bodykit"

>>14979641
Theyre far from worthless. Rear end gears and a nice exhaust are all you need to have fun, but you should be doing sub frame connectors and adding gt40 heads/intake manifold as well.

>>14979763
>>14979788
As an oldfag who grew up with these cars, I can assure you that no matter what laptimes or magazine articles had to say, on the street a 5 speed 5.0 would beat a SVO.
>granted this was 1/4 and 1/8 mile drags,
But hey, nobody knew what a conefag was back then, I'm just going from personal experience.

IIRC it was the same 2.3 that was found in the Pinto earlier.

>>14979841
I imagine most of those SVOs were stock or near stock while the 5.0s were modified. Modifying a turbocharged vehicle back would have seemed like rocket science compared to what the 5.0 guys had to do for power.

>>14980287
Looking at it power wise I can believe the 5.0 winning from a dig.

>>14980011
Yeah it comes stock with a 1zz but usually people swap it out for a 2zz or even a Honda k20 .

Yeah the 5.0 makes a lot more low end torque and definitely has an advantage from a dig. I want to say that there was an article out there where the SVO team could have made their car just as much of a tire smoking monster as the 5.0 but were held back by FoMoCo who wanted a more "refined" vehicle that could bully the Europeans in the canyons.

Lol, they started out stock. This was before you could go to the junkyard and pick up cheap explorer heads/intake. GT40 stuff was around, just expensive.
The most effective mods were H pipe, gearing, short belt and underdrive pulleys, sticky tires and short throw shifters.
I helped several of my friends work on thier mustangs, even though I was a turd gen guy.
>tfw pulled a 4cyl turbo out of a pace car and replace with a built 302 in dad's garage.

Wanna be really upset? Look at cars on UK Autotrader. 200bhp Motegi Preludes are less than £1000.

Have you looked at the z300?

subaru. always subaru.

99-04 Mustang GT. More power than a foxbody and lots of torque. Meaning lots of fun.
Commonly found with Manuel.
Scary if the ground is wet.
