Im starting to save some money for a new car, so I need help on wich one to choose. The price range is around 10 k, so far I found these 4 for around that price. Mazda RX-8, Nissan 300ZX, Subaru WRX, Toyota MR. What do you guys think about these cars?

If you ever went RB25, I hope your prepared to drop atleast 10K in mods. Minimum, my friend has over 15K and it hasnt even been put in the car yet. The SR will give you more bang for the buck. So if you did choose a 240, try and find a 5 speed, and you can get a SR for around 1500 or so, I know on 240sxmotorsports.com you can get a complete swap with everything needed, clutch, exhaust, water pump, oil pump, belts, pulleys, everything for 3K-4K. |

"Yeah, I have an RB series motor, no biggie. Yeah I can take on your Corvette and leave it in the dust." LOLV8 -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

LOLV8 Ok, but who is going to do the rebuild, and have you priced the parts for the pistons and such? Surely you don't want to pay a lot for one and just drop it in, only for it to leave you on the side of the road. Stock, I can tell you right now it isn't going to be a new corvette. Sure the engine will allow one to compete against muscles (personally, I think most muscles max vs most imports max is no comparison, the muscles simply outclass). -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

Maybe... but think about this. 1,200hp gutted Supra and 1,200hp gutted Camaro, Challenger, Charger, Nova, etc. Who'll win? Supra. Because it's much, MUCH lighter. 3.0L engine vs like 8.0 or 9.0L? No brainer man. But of course once you get into funny car and NHRA top fuel... then yeah, 8,000hp is hands down haha. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
