actually a used then use the rest for mods hah

i've seen them run 14.1's stock. for 26k i dont see that as that bad, expecialy since ive herd they handle wuite well. i dont know what else compaire, maybe a WRX, but they arnt that fast stock. im sorry, i utsa hate neons, but i have alot of respect for these. times change, the 60's handling of muscle cars is gone, the rarity of a high reving low displacment import is gone, if you want a import, make sure you dont think your getting a suppirior machine, and not just the name of an import. ive seen too many problems with imports lately(mechanical, etc) to honestly believe the reliability and suprime handling i keep hereing about. sure a rx7 handles great, and sure a civic gets great gas milage, and well... supras can have insane power, and they are all imports, but domestics are right on their toes. dollar for dollar you cannot beat a muscle car. they have been around too long and like ford50forlife said, theres been so much R&D that they have all the parts. for my next car i am completly open minded. i do not have any particular car in mind or brand (except honda is out... i own one of the best production fwd 4cyl made imo and well... im not THAT impressed comparied to what i could have for the same money) i do not hate hondas, they do have their place, and they can be made to do whatever you want, but why not figure out what you want to do with the car, then buy one designed for that, then work from there. i want something that is fun to drive, and comfortable. has a bit of power when i hit the gas, and im not looking like every other person on the road. i still respect my car, and it is a very nice machine, but after 2 years.... i dunno, the ambition to dump more money into it is gone
