If they totaled my car back in June I was going to purchase one.

I like them.

They can look extremely clean in white...I would love to have one for a DD.

Looks..... i give them a thumbs up but there are a lot of them out there so if you do get one make it so that it stands out. Performance wise i hear mixed reviews. Engine is decent people say but people say if you play with it too much or dont know what ur doing it can go quick. but overall if i was in ur position id prob go for it.........

They're nice, I like them. They're just a Celica engine with a new body.

I'd pass..

Camry parts and a beam axle Ill pass too

OB · Post by OB » Wed Jan 28, 2009 1:13 am

I'll pass three...

They're slow, heavy, and IMO way overrated and overdone. I'm sure they have potential, but not more than a good ol Neon!

jetas · Post by **jetas** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 1:32 am

theyre ok. toomuch of a chick car tho. 85% of ppl here driving them are chicks the other 15% are either queers or "tuner"guys...

they are npt that heavy at all and like i said its goint to be a daily driver so no need to strip it. i deff think of the trd supercharger but no need to strip..

i went to see a 09 one 5 speed and this car is the oficial get laid lol
i have learned that the seats in the back fold and when the headrest of the front seats are taking out its turns to a huge BED and u can stare at the sky from the moon rof come on guys what girl wount love that lol!!!!
its amazing now i like them even more this is the car for the drive in movies lol

what u guys think about that??

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 7:10 pm

TRD Supercharger = $3200+ to run 15's in the quarter mile.

SOOOO not worth the money

$26K to buy a tC from the dealership with the TRD package and it does 0-60 in 7 seconds and the quartermile in 15.1

There a so many cars out there that you can get for cheaper that are going to give you more for your money, and I'm not only talking about in terms of performance.

bone-yard-racing · Post by **bone-yard-racing** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 10:17 pm

26K what really cool cars can we get for that:

Decent 308: Talk about getting laid
Iffy 328: See above but faster
Beat 348: Once again have about $20,000 to fix it though

Decent early NSX: If you're trying to pull men...

Good used Evo/STi: Fast really fast not going to get you laid

Drivable Esprit V8: Keep a spare trans.

C5 Z06: Do you have any idea how fast that thing is? Who gives a fuck about the interior

A street miata and a spec miata racer hell maybe even a truck/trailer to drag specy around

1gn maybe early 2gn Viper: cool

Ram SRT-10: Cool with a bed

FC RX7: Cool and you should have enough for an LS1 swap

and the king of them all:
Factory Five GTM: The kit is $19,900 you should be able to get the LS1 and G50 for $6000

Oh and just wondering how bad you are with women that you have to use your car to get laid?

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 4:35 pm

And you forgot to list new cars for around $26K..

like

Cobalt SS/TC
Mazdaspeed3
Lancer Ralliart
Subaru Imprezza WRX
Mini Cooper S John Cooper Werks Edition

and etc.

and Blair is right, if a woman is interested in you because of the car you drive you need to "Abandon Ship" as Mr. One Two would say

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 5:41 pm

Yeah, I watched a guy with a ScionTC with the supercharger and some work run a 15.31 at the track. My $1600 neon with a long tube and a computer with no rear seat ran a 15.39.

Definately faster/better looking cars out there for the money.

What exactly is a new car?

Oh and JCWs start around 30k, you might be able to dig up an R53 JCW for that money.
And Ive had other ideas:

E36 M3: You've just been promoted to upper middle management
XKR: Jags are cool
Supra: Cool to some people
03-04 Cobra: Mustang with IRS, sure it didnt go all that well but they tried
Jeep SRT-8: Might be a bit of a stretch for 26k but if you can deal.

Holy fuck, you should totally come to the track here. There's an SRT-4 that cannot drive for SHIT and ran a 15 something. That'd be hilarious to see him get beat (Albeit not a huge margin, but still beat) by a n/a first gen

Before I bought my Mazda I was looking at a JCW GP for around $28K. Only had 2,000 miles on it.

the tCs are a nice car, but overpriced.

as far as comments about a MS3... i think mazda screwed up buy not making the sedan version. the MS3's are nice, and fast, but would be way cooler if they were the sedan....

Damn. The new motor and trans I'm putting in should do mid-low 13's...

If you're just getting it for a DD, I don't think all of this talk about how good the motor is under modding really matters. If you like the way it looks, get it.
