Hey! I am new! I am looking to buy a used car soon and would like to eventually street race it. any suggestions would be great. I recently totalled out my 99 ford/ Escort. please help.

What do you want to do with it? How much money can you spend? Do you have the experience and skill to be driving a performance car and racing it? Can you afford the maintainence and insurance for such a car? Have you the ability to work on and modify a high performance car? This is really not a simple subject, I've spent thousands on my car over the past few years keeping it running, modifying it, not to mention insurance, gas, registration and regular maintainence. You really need to look at this seriously before going and buying a car for racing, legal or not.

Well, I think that if I were looking for a 95-99 street racin fix up my top choice would be a '95 Nissan 240SX. you could probably get 1 for $2,000- $6,000, and even less if it needed repairs. then you could use sum of your money u were gonna use for upgrades to make the repairs and work with wat u got left. Don't buy a complete junker cause then u aint gonna hav any money left to upgrade, and it will take 4ever to save up again.

man i want to get a 94 240sz os a tt300zx if any one in texas knows where i can find one plz let me know
im in the street racing scene out here but i only have an 86.5 nissan hard body pick up so the abilty to contral is no prob money i can make easy off these wannabe ricer and some of the real ricers and all the muscle car and truckers suck against a ricer so any one knows where to get one of the two cars if not both plz let me know thank you

Dude......what..?

someones sugar-high on chocolate ;-) . Just kidding. Oh, by the way use punctuation next time, cause i can barely understand wat ur riting.

Great.... someone start the Darwin timer!!

You just recently totalled a car and are already looking for a new car to street-race?

It's only a matter of time before this guy becomes a meat popcicle in the county morgue.

hey im gettin ready to buy a civic(97) and need some ideas on what i could do to it. its gunna be all go with some show. i bought a civic cuz its my first car and chept to mod. so does ne1 hav ideas of wat i could do to it?

dood, buy a 96-99 neon, you cant go wrong

you can get a crx there light weight but shitty on power neons are ok if there striped out and turbo'd you can get a murker or a escort and drop a svo motor in it ect...

With a CRX you could swap a 2.0 CRV motor with a trans mounts, and all other accesories for 1500. Nice little ride you would have there, VERY nice.

Right, neons don't need to be stripped AND turbo'ed, if you know how to mod them. Sure, a turbo would make things that much sweeter, but they're not needed to make Neons fast.

There's quite a few NA Neons running around out there that are pretty fast.

Sure, they're still pretty crappy cars, but for the money, they're the best investment (as long as you don't plan on selling the car )

hahaha. if you can figure out how to tune a neon to be fast go for it i say. and same for the crx i know there quick but im not a import fan really so. what ever works..

I would go with a civic
