Skyline GT-R

Built like tanks and can handle 800-900hp easily. Good luck getting your hands on one though.

Clio V6... 3.0 V6 in the back, instead of rear seats...



Clo 182... Not much to look at, but stripped out, and will be a match laptime-wise for scoobies



Civic type R



205gti...80's classic, in the same vein as a mk1 golf



Renault 5 GT Turbo



Not the quickest, or best looking cars by a long shot, but great rides... The Gti and the R5 turbo were pant wetters for me when I was little. Those thing will go down a twisty road qyuicker than **** off a shovel!
I can always count on you to bring back some memories. The GT Turbo's were awesome. And I will never forget the one and only Williams Clio. I wanted one so bad but couldn't afford one at the time. My mate had one and that thing rocked, especially considering all the cache that went with it. If I could get my hands on any car right now, a low miles, good condition Williams Clio would be it!

I've got a thing about 80's, and early 90's cars! I still yearn for a XR2!! The new hatches are really going back to the old school in my opinion.. The Cooper S, civic type R, Focus RS, etc... All of them very fast, and very nimble! To be honest, they'd probably give many a car a run for their money!

Classic pepper pots!!

You've gone and topped yourself. How could I forget the XR2?

The Escort RS Cosworth was also a bad-*** car But insurance was like 300,000 a year[&:]

Ergh.. hated the escort cosworth. the Sierra was soooo much better looking! (I know the escort used the same chassis, but ergh all the same!!). Hey, you doing anything for bonny night when you're in the states? I think we're having a big **** off fire here! baked spuds and marshmallows! Yummy!

car and driver rated the RSX (integra in japan) as the best haneling 2dr, under 20grand, u can find a 2000 for 15grand or so, grab some black rims, suspension, exhaust, and intake

tune it, and that thing will be plenty for any "kid"

plus, they own any civic, or older integra... not to mention, if he wants, he can drop in a b-16 or b-20 (will the b-20 fit???? not an expert in japaneese engines)

that would be a fun *** car JUST DONT LET HIM BUY A BODY KIT, AS SOON AS YOU BUY A BODY KIT FOR A FWD CAR, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY CONSIDERED RICE, NO MATTER WHAT POWER YOUR MAKING!!!

Yikes ... I wouldn't touch a Mustang .... EVER .... everyone, their mother, their mother's mother (your grandmother), and my sister's dog has a mustang.


I also wouldn't get near an EVO. Just have had bad experiences with them.

WRX's are pretty bad rides. I wouldn't mind one of those, but for 25k why not a G35 and throw a SC on it?
