| If u had only 80k to spend, which car would be your choice. Have in mind: comfort, durability,horsepower,icon,gas friendly. It has to be only for U and a loved one, meaning 2 seater. List the specs of your ride and why this choice. | |

| I would go with the skyline or a bulit s2000 or a 5th gen prelude and dump the rest of the money into it. I don't think I would ever spend that on a stock car I would buy a 20,000 dollor car car mod the shit out of it. | |

| A charger is not a real muscle car Alan(the new one that is) The new chargers are just Dodge intrepids with a v8. Dodge had their chance of remaking the old ones and they blew it. Now West coast customs is chopping up the new ones to make 2 door coupes like it used to be.
And a Tahoe is not a 2 seater.lol.
What if U had to spend 80k on a car? | |

| well tim my crx has about everythoing you want in a motor we the guys that built my crx run well ill list them
95 civic =697 whp runs 10.2 in the 1/4 89 crx=640hp runs 9.89's 93 talon=620hp also in the 9's keep in mind these are all street leagal cars dailey drivers
my drive train in my crx ran low 10's in a 97 civic sedan at 26lbs of boost. I am excitedto get my ride to the track we did some comparisons lastnight to the 9 second crx and im edging it out in every catagory at 13lbs of boost, and 91 octane at 350.9whp and 290lbs of torque. A 10 second street car is a ton of fun at 1900 lbs | |

| sounds like lots of fun. I had great times at the track sometimes I would like to start all over again. most of the guys in the crew ran full race cars high 5s low 6s in the 1/8 the fastest street car on dot slicks was 6.67 1/8 mile 1990 notch stang.. my stang at its best with a 306 and spray would have only done low 7s | |

| Drop 20k in a 1970 charger with a hemi six pack and then you'll see what u got. But then again my quest was for a fuel effecient car under 80k. | |
