Recommend me some turbo cars...

Those cars scare me. They are quite quick, but a Cobalt is just not built to handle that speed. When you start cranking on it, the car just doesn't feel solid enough. Especially when you push them to 200km\h. It never comfortable to go that fast, but it's **** scary to do it in a cheap american compact.
If I had to drive a car, I would stick to the Talon, or 300zx.

Or scratch the turbo, and buy muscle. Way funner power. Go with a new dodge. Charger R/T, or a new Challenger. If you're on a budget, there are plenty of older V8's that would roast most little turbo cars, and you have infinite build ups from there.

exactly.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but the MazdaSpeed3 is a great daily driver, has plenty of power, and handles almost as well as a WRX/EVO.

If you want to go fast, reliable, for least $$, buy a Honda Civic, B-series turbo it.

If you like comfortable, and dont mind being a little bit slower, go GTI 1.8T or WRX.

Dodge Neon will always be a Dodge Neon, no matter how fast it is.

^ Ive owned at least one of the above mentioned, and I have to say nothing compares to a properly built Honda

You shouldn't speak.

Honda engines are such junk. They make 0 torque and in order to make power you gotta spin them like mad.

The guy doesn't seem like a huge car dude (Although I only read 2 pages) since he recently got a ride in a boosted car.

Honestly man, I have a buddy with a big turbo SRT4, I have a big turbo SRT4... minor suspension mods amd they handle great (more then 95% of the drivers will ever use), 4 door, mod friendly, and can look tasteful with some cosmetic changes. Very fun cars to drive and they make good power. People say it's just a Neon and yea, they are right. It is just a Neon. But it's a strong engine, strong ******, and runs hard. It really is a good little skittle.

08 Cobalt SS looks very promising. Stock dyno charts show great power under the curve and I am very confident they are going to be very mod friendly. The Ecotec holds the record for the most horsepower out of a 4 cylinder. You should consider this and the Mazda Speed 3 for sure since you can buy brand new and have warranty.

VW cars are absolute junk.

Mazda Speed 3 FTW. I would have purchased this car if I had 25k to spend.

Evo would have been my ulimate choice for a turbo car if I had 37k to spend.

Subarus are way overpriced and way to expensive to mod.

But if you want a fun car to drive that is fast as hell... get an 03-04 Cobra. Can get them for 23-27k and will annihilate any of the choices above stock vs stock. Full boltons vs full boltons gives the same result.

If you wanna build a car, I suggest building/buying a 1g DSM. The 4g63 is a superior 4 cylinder engine that has been around for 27 years. You can even purchase a fully built 1g DSM for like 10-12k that'll run 10s all day and still drive it around like a stock car.

haha. A neon owner. How come a stock 99-00 si is faster than a SRT4 on the streets?

How come a Honda with $3k of engine mods is making the very 03-04 Cobras look slow??

And 08 cobalt SS? I can't tell if that's sarcasm.

Your only statement that I agree with is about the 1g mitsus. They can be made fast for CHEAP. But its a slightly older car, with poor handling.

I might be a Honda fan, but I love handling and love smashing on V8-V12. Thats probably what has made me so crazy. There's no better feeling than making somebody look like a fool, especially if they have 10x-15x as much money invested in their ride as I have. I can only imagine what they are telling their girlfriend after their 08 Rousch just lost to a 2000 honda civic 4cyl. Probably still hatin anyways. Quite addictive, i tell ya. I can't get enough of it.

you can make your car as fast as you want, but in the end... your still driving a honda.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Its ok, we can clearly see your a honda guy. No hurt feelings.

Im sorry but hondas just seem like super sized toy cars that sound like lawnmowers

 

[B_Campbell 10+ year member]

RX7 twin or single turbo...either way is still super nice.EVO VII....by far the most superior of any.

Supra...I'd go big single.

300ZX...pain to work on.

3kGTvr4....YUMMY!!! but its a mitsu slug.

Galant VR4.....keep it 100% stock and hang on to it, being they were VERY limited.

Skittle (Neon SRT4)....easy to see 400+ hp...I love those, but you look gay driving them.

Eclipse GST and GSX....GSX is AWD and I loved mine...I'll own another one eventually

Scooby STi......Weeeeee they's quick. Intresting engines as well.

Then the ones Id keep in the garage....to preserve them.

Buick GN/GNX

GMC Syclone

GMC Typhoon

Good list //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Fuck. I had a whole big response typed out to this and then the forum slowed down.

Cliffs:

Don't compare a Civic to a Cobra

Please show me these 10-15x more money invested cars that you can beat

Don't take offence because I understand that there are Civics that can beat modded V8's

I need videos to beleive that a stock Civic can beat a Rousch.

Again, no offence meant.

none taken... vids to be uploaded soon...

Wow... everything you said in there is total bullshit.

How can you compare a low 14/high 13 second car to a 15 second car? Stock SRT4 > Any Honda stock vs stock in a drag race. Even twisties all the Hondas lose except the S2k and NSX.

$3k of engine mods... yes (Which i'm sure you mean turbo kit, which technically isn't an engine mod). I believe you since a turbo kit hovers right around 3k. But you're forgetting good tuning, clutch, fuel pump, 3" exhaust, etc... so yea. You lose again.

08 Cobalt looks VERY promising you ignoramous.

1g DSMs >>>>> Honda in every category mod for mod. Handling included.

Put 3k into your 00 SI and then put 3k into an 02 F Body. See who wins in a street race and at the drag strip. But since you said it'll make an 03-04 Cobra look slow, i'll stick to that topic. 12.7 @ 112 vs a half built Honda = Cobra Wins.

Please gain some knowledge on the topic before speaking.
