</div>

after being at track day, i realized what a dumb ass move it was to sell my Porsche 944 for a low pickup truck that i thought i could make fast (in a stright line).

if i were to sell my truck, i would have ~8 grand to spend (whether its 8 grand on a car, or 3 grand on a car and 5 grand in mods, etc), and i’d like to get something that i can learn to drive with and isnt too much power, but at the same time is pretty simple to mod once i get better at driving and can handle it. so here’s what options i’ve come up with:

1990+ Nissan 300ZX  
Porsche 944 (or 951 if i could get a decent one for that price)  
S2000 (i kno thats a really long shot at finding one in decent shape with lower milage, but you never know)

what i DON’T want:  
no DSMs  
not a huge fan of 240s  
nothing that is gonna take a motor swap to make it quicker  
and im not a huge fan of the ‘bug eyes’ Imprezas either

jesus fucking christ.

you will not get any of those cars in decent shape with good amount of miles for ~8k.

mayyybe a 944. But why would you want one of those, if you already had one…and grew tired of it?

stick with your nice truck. stop posting these threads. save money. get a real job… buy a fun car.

oh adam.

you’re so insightful.

but it’s true, buffalo sucks and winters coming… last thing you need is a crappy old porsche. get the truck running and then worry about a track car…

(unless you already have a winter car in which case im just a big stupid face. ignore me… my my do i feel stupid)

Just in case you have a little trouble finding that $8,000 S2k I found a couple of options for you that aren’t retarded. Oh, and by the way, heavily modding your DD is stupid. If you can’t afford to push your car off a cliff you can’t afford to mod it. That’s why my car isn’t modded. I don’t have a project car because my life isn’t in the right place yet.

That SE-R is way way overpriced.

The 200SX is a good price though.

Yeah it is. They’re damn near impossible to find though. I think there was only that one and one other det swapped one within 300 miles so I posted the less modded one. I didn’t think of it, but don’t NX2k’s handle extremely well too?
