You are on a budget, you got only $25,000! What car would you get?

Take into account new AND used cars, what model, and what year.

Personally I'm looking at the 05'-07' Nissan 350Z.

Gee, I don't know. Most of the cars I want are OVER 25K.

Maybe I'll go for something from the Honda selection, like an '10 Honda Civic Hybrid. or just get a '11 Mazda i Sport 4-Door. or a '97 Jaguar or something.

Used 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STi, red please.

Fit for everything I need now. Good space and performance while still practical.

Pretty easy:


Build this back into street legal form:

Small list of shit that needs to be done:
Engine, rebuilt
Intake, fabricate intake manifold and adapt GSXR 750 ITBs
Exhaust, grind the welds down in the header, custom pipe work
Transmission, inspected, cleaned, new clutch and flywheel
Either upgrade the stock rear axle, or swap to an AE86's rear axle
Swap to AE86 front struts converted to coil overs.
Get glass
New doors
Fix the cage
Passenger seat.
Fuel system upgrades
megasquirt
.....More?

And get a slightly more reliable daily driver, maybe a Suzuki Swift GTI.

Bah everyone has all that other shit. Be unique, you can get a perfect condition FD RX7 and have cash left to make it turn heads everywhere.

While that sounds like a good idea, I'm a huge proponent of torque, so you can keep your rotary......
