Seriously, could not agree more. I got a 740 turbo wagon after years of hating volvos...one drive and I was hooked. Its the fastest car I've ever owned, and all I have ever owned are V8's (67 gmc hotrod, 80 malibu and 81 monte carlo).
My station wagon can outrun any honda on the road, I beat a corvette the other day (80's) and it can still haul cargo as well as it hauls ass!
(mind you, I upped the boost, added 3" exhaust and an intake) All for about $3k canadian.
Agreed, especially with your budget.Originally posted by: Fenixgoon

Are you a turbobricks member?
An upgraded IC, and turbo can go a long way.
I've got an S70 T5 in excess of 300hp.

you are in no shape to get a FR car for that type of money. Why don't you put it aside until you get $20-30k
For that price range, if you do want to settle with FF, then integra or prelude would be the choice.
the bottom line is: you can't really get a fast FR sport car with that type of money unless you know how to restore some older car.

240SX S13 style, they can be had in coupe, hatchback, or convertible form. $3,000 gets you one in great shape with relatively low miles. The engines go forever and trannsy too.
For more speed, spend $2-3K and swap in a turbocharged RB20 engine from Japan.
Another great choice:
MR2 from the early to mid 90's
most of those cars have been modified and arent original anymore...and the prices have been inflated to ridiculous heights just cuz america found out theres this thing called drifting, but ill keep them in mind.
Prices on Bay Area Craigslist look good!

What about AWD? I've seen a few Talons lately that people have and they seem to be a pretty good deal, AWD + Turbo, you can mod those for a decent amount of power IIRC.

Nissan 300ZX or 240SX....
You could also get a Miata if you don't mind a tiny car...or the stereotype.

I've been looking at MR2s but the interior is horrible...ive looked at 300zx but the price is just too steep for most of them...then we have the BMW e36s...but most of them become money pits...is there anything else...i dont want an F body...what other rear wheel drive cars am i overlooking.
Two friends of mine have e36s (1995 318 and 1993 325)...i have gotten a chance to drive both of them...i need something more powerful than the 150 weeny horsies in the 318...other than that...the price of the cars as a whole is a littel too much... but worth it maybe...
I'd love to hear some inputs of sports car rear wheel drive owners as well as FF sports cars.
