And who in their right mind recommends a non 2003 Accord V6 coupe to someone looking for a performance vehicle to mod?

Viper GTS

Anyone that knows hondas aren't as bad ass as the brainwashed think. If you want power from the factory, go Nissan.

That's why i'm saying, for $12.5K, get a 91 240sx, and spend the extra $10K on mods.


That's funny how you talk sh*t about hondas, but then turn around and recommend a car that stock for stock is no faster than a late model civic.

Stock 240s are some of the most underpowered "sports car" ever.

that's fine, i wont be buying a datsun anyway 😛
 
get an E30 M3, those are PIMP. for 12500, you could get a really relaly nice one. if you want an E36 M3 (95-99), you're probaby looking at 15000-25000 for a decent one. i would get that or a porsche 944. those are very good used cars (but i don't really like how they look)

ideally, supercharger out the hood, breaking 500 horsepower after some mods... i have to find a pic now... i want something similar to what Mad Max drove in the Road Warrior.
