Re: Looking for a new car, how bout some suggestions?
srt4 fwd but still gets decent gas mileage, comes boosted, factory uprgrades, faster than mustangs and camaros stock and insurance probually won't rape you like it would with the other cars you listed. Have you checked on insurance prices for these cars yet? I was considering a newer car as well and a loan but once I checked insurance prices I decided to drive my old cars and mod them untill I get old and grumpy enough to get cheap insurance.

2500-4000 for turbos
800-1400 - intercoolers
400-1000 - feul control
then to put that to the ground you'll need
clutch 400-600
flywheel 350-500
driveshaft 200-400
and THEN you need some tires to stop the nonstop wheelspin, and ofcourse you cant fit bigger than 245's on the rear tires, and even with 245 drag radials i could still spin then first gear with stock injects, stock turbos @ 14psi
and then all the other BS, intake, boost controller, rims to put bigger tires on, expensive big tires, etc etc
its a shitload of work and depending on your bidget may or maynot be worth the time/ money but if you did all of the above mentioned work, with a good driver, it would be a low 12 second high 11 second car, and if you threw in some 4.09 gears, stock are 3.69, mid 11s? high 10s?
---- i got a Z sitting right here with a buncha ---- on it with a blown headgasket, but ive done too much work on that car and have completely lost motivation to do anything else to it.
oh yeah, srt4's are gay, domestic needs to stay out of the sport compact buisness

Re: Looking for a new car, how bout some suggestions?
I don't by any means think CRX's are ugly, old Hondas are cool and all...but mine is ugly.
It's definately not a chick magnet...that's kind of what I'm going for here because my car is a love/hate type thing with the girls right now. Either they're like "Oh ----, you have a CRX! That's so cool let's go have sex in it." or they're like "You drive that red piece of ----? I'm calling a cab."
Might not be the smartest financial investment, but goddamnit I'm young and I'm gonna live a little before I die, so don't lecture me about how I'm getting rid of one piece of crap for another. I don't care
Anyways I'm leaning towards the Corvette or the IS300 right now, problem is they're both towards the higher end of my budget which is never good...so the Mustang is still on the table. I've got plenty of time to think about it...but it's always nice to have outside opinions...so keep them coming.

Re: Looking for a new car, how bout some suggestions?
Other then the fact that you have to spend 300 to 500 dolalrs for payment on a new car, ever think about the insurance? the gas?
and if you are buying a new car just to impress girls and carry them around...er
.....i don`t know what to tell you :1
BTW for 20K you can think about (RWD AND AWD, some of them are big sedans LOL)
E36 M3, IS300, S2K, WRX STI/ WRX, evolution, Supra, RX7, SC430, LS400, Q45 ....
oh and those 91 ish NSX is going for 15000ish right now
there are no USDM car in my list not becasue i hate the car, but simply becasue i hate the way they look ,

Re: Looking for a new car, how bout some suggestions?
Yeah I took the payment, gas, insurance, all into consideration. I can't afford it at this point in time but seeing as how I'll be putting more than half of the total amount of the car down, I won't be taking a very big loan and the payments won't kill me.
I've been thinking about just saving for a few months and buying an older (but not pre '99) Mustang GT to take care of the loan situation...since I would be paying in full up front. I think that sounds like the most attractive option, but I'll be able to afford to make payments, insurance, and put gas in it as long as the price tag is kept below 20 grand.
And it's not just a car to impress the girls, I mean not everybody likes to drive around a beater all the time...which is what my CRX is quickly becoming. Girls...another reason why a back seat is a definate plus. Kind of rules out a 350Z, Corvette, S2000, and a Supra too right? I've never been in a Supra.

Re: Looking for a new car, how bout some suggestions?
That Tercel is hott. 
Anyways I pretty much fell in love with the Audi S4, and I found them *close* to my price range in my area. I'm talking about the 2000 to like 2003 versions with the twin turbo V6. Here's a few pics I found on cardomain that I liked.
I've always liked these things, I just never thought they were anywhere close to my price range. I'm loving the twin turbo aspect of it, and I've seen dyno sheets and time slips on car domain of 400+hp and 11.2 @ 126mph.
