Might be functionally stupid, but there's something to be said for the 90s throwback it gives.

Not a fan myself though.

Porsche 951

>>17870127
Good luck with that.

MKIII supra. You can probably find one with a 1jz too. The 7m's will be cheaper but prepare for BHG.

>>17870120
>the answer is always Miata
Buy a NA for 4K and spend the rest on a turbobuild, chassis and wheels. For 10k you can btfo nearly any car out there on the road.

You fucking asshole.

trans am, firebird, fierro

>>17870501
a trans am is literally just a high trim firebird, why list it twice

Probably the best bet is a built S13. They might not be under 10k in America anymore tho.

>>17870125
This, an AW11, SW20, 240SX, or FC

Conquest

3 to 5 miatas is the best option desu

>>17870120
miata, unironically

WS6 trans am

>>17870198
From what I've heard, the SW20 is faster but the AW11 has slightly better handling. Also remember the AW11 would be older and have more rust issues. I'd say get an SW20 unless you're one of those people that are really infatuated with the AW11.

>>17871246
Also AW11s cost about a million times more than the SW20s, even turbo ones.

>>17871258
You can get an AW11 for less than 5 grand all day, last time I checked.

Top 4 my opinion

>>17871265
I wish I lived there, but in Europoor land it's a different case then. The cheapest ones here are about 5k€, but they're gutted and raped and have been autocrossed to death and you need to spend +10k€ for a car that is road legal and most of those are in parts or have been autocrossed too.

>>17870125
Do we like the probe now?

>>17871316
I always kind of liked it. My dad had one, it was pretty good. He used to wave goodbye at me with the pop ups when he left for work.

I mean, I like the punched-in lights on the 80's fox since they remind me of the GNX.

Life is suffering.

I'm 6' 1" and fit just fine... usually good unless you're above 6' 4" or so. Just got to do some simple mods!

Used to be able to get them for nothing, now closer to 8 grand for a really good one.

That's kind of adorable.

>>17870175
I remember when I first heard the C6 wouldn't have them anymore. That's when I realized fun things I like will stop being a thing and there's nothing I can do.

Not all bad though I like the C6 and the world still turns, but grade school me was fucking crushed.

Am 6-5, would like to know of these mods

240sx that has either the front or rear torn off in a "fixable" accident.

As an sw20 owner I suggest an sw20 so that I can feel like my life decisions aren't terrible.

I love my pop ups

Pretty sure Mazda made a small hatch that had pop-up headlights. They're probably all gone now or in the wreckers at this point though.

Fiero is the cheapest option in america.

However, the downside is then you own a fiero.

>>17873774

>>17875362
Truly the god machine, but under 10k?

Seat foamectomy. Extended wheel boss/ dished wheel.

I'm 6ft5 and fit pretty well. I have a bucket that could do with going a bit lower, but being a lanklet pretty much all cars are not comfortable.

Maybe a C5 Corvette if you give whatever Boomer who's selling it a nice BJ first.

>>17870120
for dirt cheap factor you can get an old ST183 celica

>>17876291
Pros:
>pop up headlights
>the v6 in the gen 2 is amazing
>good wheel response
>has a throttle cable
>gen 2 doesnt look like complete ass
>the seats are extremely adjustable

Cons:
>FWD
>steering feels light

Overall the car is fun to drive, taking off at a stoplight is cool. If you can get a manual, the auto is a meme.

I'm buying this MKIII supra for 5000$
What should I expect ?
I don't work on cars so I expect to spend 2k to get this car running nice for years to come
What do

>>17879638
don't get probe they're dogshit.
They're what del sol is to mr2 but del sol is actually good.
Ford probes are known here as "ford problem"
Stay the fuck away.
Get a sierra or something that gets you a RWD.
Even i3 bluemotion diesel RWD is better than 500hp v8 pushrod twin turbo fwd.
For general enjoyment always go RWD first. RWD is always way way more fun than FWD
