Wow...You have many options then.

You wanna be a ricer or a racer?

Anyways, check out Ebay for some nice Supras ;)

With that you could get a newer corvette...like a 97 or 98 ish.

Or if yu like japenese cars supras are cool and in your price range. Go for the turbo one though.

The new Tiburon's nice, and exactly in your price range with leather, a V6 engine, and a radio. It has a 181 HP, 6-speed manual. Of course, there's also the choice of automatic, but that'll bring up the price.

You can use the extra money for some interior decals, because the interior doesn't really have anything that sticks out.

Yeah, but that one's probably pricer. I'd rather buy a normal one, then tune it myself.

The red one was the rear view of the GT, here's the front:

F that go onto ebay and buy a skyline R33 I saw one the other day for 14.000 And it had 600+ hp wnd that was at buy it now price but you would still have to pay shiping.

And 181 hp is not that much considering you could buy a 300zx with 300hp stock for 12.000 or a mk4 supra for about the same with a little less hp.

181 HP isn't that meager... Plus, the car does handle really well.

Yeah, with no a/c, radio, and cloth seats. :rolleyes:

Cloth seats are only good when you do racing. (legal)

What are you saying???!!! First of all the car is so heavy so it cant possibly handle well. Second get your facts right, Both a 300zx z32 and a supra mk4 have ac cd playiers and leather seats. Oh and if you really want to know by getting rid of ac (the belt) It adds 10 hp, And when they say 181hp there talking about the hp at the crank the actual hp of the car at the wheels is prob. 160 if your lucky. Im not saying there bad im just saying that for that amount of money you could get a way better car.

The tiburons are slow.

They look nice and have a 6 speed gear box but to face the fax they're about as fast on acceleration as my dads buick. True it can handle better but I would go with a car with more hp to start with. And scince they are new they have very little parts to buy for them, such as turbos and superchargers.

If you got a supra (93 and up) you would rock the streets, those aren't to common and they are really nice lookers.

Skylines are nice too, but not too mnay people have heard of them (compared to corvette etc.) so you may not get to much attention, though the few poeple who do recongize the car will bow down to you.

I really think you should get a corvette, fast stock and there nice looking.

But japense cars have there ups.

oh and BTW- he porbably doesn't need handling to much, I mean do you really think he's gonna bust onto a race track pulling over 1 G!?

Just make sure you test drive it first, in case what troy said might kick in for you.

Yeah, if only there wasn't that really tacky and really huge speedometer, right in the middle of the dashboard. :\
