a 1993-1995 Corrado vr6, or a g60 cause its cheaper to tune, but vr6 is better cause it comes 189 horsepower naturally and is very light ( i believe lighter then a prelude )

Get a late 60s camero... those have bad ass looks, and if you spend a lil money you can easily get over 400hp and over 400ft.lbs of torque. now thats some tire fryin power.. shoot who cares about the mileage then.

Mr2 Turbos
300zx Twin Turbo
93ish Camaro Z28
A3 VW GTI VR6
VW Raddo VR6
96 Stang 4.6L
Rx7 Turbo II (money left over)
Eagle Talon TSi
Older Vette
91 and prior Supra Turbo
Taurus SHO (tons o money left over and blazing fast)
Thunderbird SC (tons o money left over and stump pulling torque)
SVT Contour (if you can find a cheap 1)

Just a quick list, so many nice cars available for that price range.

Or you could get a bike and be faster than almost anything for half the price. And with the left over money buy yourself a reliable winter car.

Just some suggestions:dunno:

lol for 15 grand you can buy a fully restored 67-69 camero, and being fully restored it would require minimal work. or i guess you could get a 4 banger like everyone else

300ZX TT all the way man
what ever idiot says theres no replacement for displacement hasnt driven one of these, even the NAs from 1990, a fuckin 14 year old car has more hp than a brand new 3.8 L V6 mustang (225 hp vs 193? and torque is about 200 for the Z and 225 on the stang,, and when u compare a TT, well, 300 hp 280 trq), jus thought id point it out,
and u can easilky get a lotta power outta these cars, easily
and IMO still look fucking amazing,
finding a good one is kinda hard for 15 tho, a lotta the ones here arent in priome condition, but i could probly find you one...

The MK2 MR2 Turbos are amazing xars too, for that range if i couldnt get a Z id 100% get a MR2 Turbo, 200 lbs of torque on such a ligh car compared to other cars that put out that much power
and it not 60 ft to the gallon like most domestics that can pu t that jkinda power stock, some other cars after tuning can get to the speed that the MR2 turbo and Z TT do, but id strongly recommend eiother of those 2

Honda Prelude SR-V

190 HP, not that FAST (speaking 0-60 or 1/4/mile) but very quick (maneuverable, good pick-up) plus leather interior, great handling and an absolute blast to drive.
