Hiya!
I'm someone who loves to test my cars mobility, speed, and precision. Problem is, I really don't know where to start. I'm 21 years old, and I've been jerked around with misleading information for awhile on this subject, I'm hoping maybe one of you could give me a little insight.
I love light cars, and with light cars comes speed, and handling. I've been looking for a car that is fun to drive because of the handling, and the speed. Even if it's a turbo.
However, I thought with a turbo, you'd have to fill it with premium gas at all times, and that drinks as much gas as a 1989 5.0 Mustang, and then some extra $ with the price of premium gas for the turbo. So, I need to be talked into going this route.
I'm looking for a car that is lightweight, fun to drive, and is fast as a daily driver. It doesn't have to go 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, but something that IS fast off from the start acceleration would be awesome. As in, amazing torque. Basically, I want to be able to throw this car around, and have fun while I'm doing it. Stop at a red light, and when the light turns green, shift, and punch it just for a minor adrenaline rush from time-to-time.
I would prefer a Manual Transmission, and I would like it to at least look decent for what it's worth.
The Dodge Neon SRT4 is ugly as sin, for instance.
Now if I have to put a bodykit on it, that's fine. I like to make my cars custom to my tastes anyway.
If possible, please try to keep it in the 10,000 range. I would have loved a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO but, I highly doubt I'm affording that ANYTIME soon. So in the mean time, I just want a fun daily driver car that's lightweight, good handling, and speedy.
I really didn't have anyone to ask without them giving a bias opinion on the forums they go to so, I figured I'd try here to get real answers.
I've been told what I'm looking for is a Honda Civic (Si or not) with an GS-R Integra engine swap. However again, I'm not sure.
Is there a car that sounds like what I'm looking for? If not, is there a way to increase the torque for it relatively cheap?
Again, thanks guys, and god bless.
Please no convertibles. Sedans, and Coupes please.
