if you had $20G to spend on another car

quite possibly the coolest aunt ever?

Still not sure if I want to get something nicer like a used 3 series as a DD and then turbo the neon or keep the neon NA and then start saving for something like the FT-86 or a WRX...

Well, $20 grand wouldn't buy a Viper so I guess that I would source a California or Arizona 1GN and do the Unibody equivalent of a frame-off restoration. Yes, I am completely serious.

i would get a 1990 or 91 240sx or a datsun 240z throw a modded sr20det or a rb26dett mod the suspension clutch axle lock rear diff
and maybe if i got enough get an HKS TO42 turbo system with HKS blow off valve
a good car to pick up that is rare and 4 door but fast and can pick up for 4 to 5 grand
is a 98 or 99 contour svt
2.5L duratec motor 200 hp
swap a 3.0L out of tarus or escape put the 2.5 svt intake on it for a like 1500 to 2 grand and buy a turbo system for 3 grand and you will be untouchable
just watch this video its a stock 3.0L with stage 2 turbo through nautilus
and the gauges
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/T3T4 ... 102656.htm
the stock 2.5 feels like its turboed at 3500rpms its insane
need pics let me know

^^Nah, I have the same rule for a Viper as I did for my SRT- new or nothing.

Jerome Adams · Post by **Jerome Adams** » Thu Nov 05, 2009 8:44 pm

that is close to mine..."nothing new"

I have a hard time with losing 40% of my "investment" when I drive it off the lot. I will let somebody else take that hit!

The brutal charm of the CSRT-4 is speaking to me all of a sudden

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 2:57 am

^^Better hurry up and get one then- no CSRT's for 2010.

Well, just hope that people won't have beaten on them like the NSRT's.

If they even last that long. I'm sure they'll be somewhat beaten on, but I'm not sure if they could even handle it.
