    So right now I have a grand prix gt. I love it and everything but I think it would be cheaper for me to just get a different car and mod it. Opitions..
    1. Top swap the gt and so on spend probaly 2 grand on all mods for it.but still not that fast..
    2.get a trans am ws6 which goes pretty fast as it is but kind of sucks gas and kinda hard to find one that isin good shape.
    3.get a 4 banger like a eclipse or some other but more than likely that and put around 2 grand into it make it faster
    4. 3000gt and same mod it

    So which one do you think I could get going probaly around 4 sec 0-60 and 11-12sec 1/4 mile the easiest for least amount of money?

    From those options I'd personally go WS6. You will hate the DSM stuff from what I've read/seen. Haven't personally modded one so it's just hearsay.

    WS6 could get there with headers/gears/cam/TC/tune IIRC.

    Question is, is this going to be a DD? Track only? If a DD then you have to consider the weather as well. Not sure I'd be driving around in my WS6 in a bunch of snow. Also, insurance costs, parts costs/availability, etc..

    WS6s are overpriced, go with a trans am model or z28. Its the same damn thing. MPGs will not be any worse really then your gp.

    plus a 10sec fbody can be very streetable

    How much money would I have to put into the trans am to get going that fast? And any other good cars to mod?

    I'd pick a trans am if it was me. Do you prefer auto or manual? You can break into the high 11's in a full bolt on, stalled auto trans am with some sticky tires and a little bit of weight reduction. Manual would be nice too but the 10 bolt rear ends tend to not hold up if you abuse them to much.

    better question is... fast 0-60 or fast 60-130?

    First one? Get a supercharged 3800 fiero.. 0-60 NOTHING beats that car in town... I had an absolute blast with my stock one ripping up STI's and Evos in town from a stop. My turbo honda is my little get around town, then rip on the highway 60-120 car... Thing does amazing when you get it in 3rd gear, and its a manual trans = fun! (oh, it gets almost 50mpg). Both of these cars could be had for about what a nice 99gt costs.

    Bring that shi!t to Panama City or STFU. I have a rear mount camera with a hellatious zoom. I promise to parade all around the internet posting the vid and laughing my ass off at you.
    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.

    We've already been over this.

    Plenty of times; he invited you down...you declined. If you wish I can find the chat archive from last year when that happened.

    Your Turbo Handada also doesn't get 50~ MPG's.

    Quit the lies.

    because you are an expert on hondas right?

    I declined because A I dont care, I have plenty of 1000hp camaros to lose to in michigan. B I dont think spending 1000's of dollars to come to florida to roll race a camaro is a smart use of money.
