rx-7 far superior to 240sx... at least go for a 300zx instead... civic is so over done and I have nothing to say against the Jetta except its fwd.

Civic is overdone because it has so much potential and aftermarket. RX-7s were great when they came off the line. Now they are money pits.

I didn't say civic, I said cvcc....theres a difference and I'm talking about a 70's model honda accord cvcc, 2 door hatchback, lighter that hell, and a whole lot of fun !!! I have a friend who had one of those and when he was at work he let me roll around in it before I even had a licence....I do have to say though, that was the funnest car I've ever driven...."not to be confused with exhilarating" LOL

an audi 80, coupe quattro, or quattro you could find one

rx7s are good... and an ls1 swap isnt too hard if you want a v8 rather than a rotary

240's are good but i think theyre a little over done

i would never get a honda... just because i dont like fwd and theyre just way too over done i dont care how much aftermarket stuff there is for them

or you could just get a cheap 1.8t like onepoint8tee did for his project car

Your right about the drifting part, but if you set up a FWD right I quarantee it will have better handling than a stock 225Q !!! Its all about the set up....camber, stiffness, alignment, and so on !!!
