cheap and fast

I was thinking of geting a 7, but any other ideas on a cha that is cheap fast, and easy to build for a dummy like me? I would probably get a beater and drop in a new engine and trannie to start just for reliability sake. I am open to any suggestions...

depends on how much you know about cars. if you want a FAST rx-7 then youd want the turbo, and that car is kinda finiky for a beginer IMO. some other good cars are MK3 supra turbos, nissan 240sx, MR-2 turbo, Miata, etc. there are plenty of cars out there that can be made fast. if you want to go really cheap and all you want is a drag car, get a mustang. there is no car that can be made fast for so little money

Alright, an rx7 turbo 2 is fast and cheap, but no rx7, i would say a chrysler conquest, or a eagle talon tsi. Those are the only two that come to mind right now. And either one you can find fairly cheaply.

heh, yeah id stay away from the talon/eclipse cars. they run less often than our cars lol. the conquest/starion thing is a good idea though, theyre cool cars if you can find one.

rotfl thats too funny. there are a few DSM guys here in my town and its funny as **** cuz they all have **** that should make their cars really fast, but they never ever run right. they come all talkin **** about how fast their cars are and with all the **** on them they should be, but they always lose. then after they lose they make excuses about it. just funny to me i guess

ID go with a 240sx, or an mr2 or celica, those are all nice choices, fairly sporty and semi-quick and modd-able as well.
