well built ka-t would walk all over SRT-4. if you get a newer car you’re kind of flushing power-to-weight down the toilet. why don’t they make more cars like the elise/exige? ---

> fast / cheap = dsm! Agreed, I would go DSM get a talon or eclipse, they’re cheap and easy to find. stick on a boost controller, exhaust, intake, headers,and a larger turbo and you’ll be making 250 hp at the rear wheels easily. ---

They’re only fwd or awd. All those mods to aren’t going to be that cheap, but a DSM would be a fairly good choice, at least before it craps out. ---

ARISTO! You can pick up a really nice one for 10 grand oop’d, Reliable. Never a bad investment cuz you can have more than 2 people fit in it. Decent gas millage and you can toss on a big single for all the power your ever going to need. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fastest-cheapest-car/146965.md?page=1)
