Sparty Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'd like to pick up a toy for the weekend to tool around in. I would prefer something fast as I've always had fast toys, but I would be open to other suggestions. What suggestions do you guys have for ideally a budget of $15k and under? Being born in Detroit, I've always been partial to American muscle, particular GM (unfortunate, I know...). I've wanted an F-Body for the longest time and thought about getting a last generation WS6 Trans Am. I'm currently looking at a 2002 Trans Am, black on black with only 18k miles, original owner.

its_urabus Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 ive been looking at an audi S4, they are in your price range, and you can bring 3 of your friends along and scare the crap out of them on the twisties.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparty Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 It doesn't have to be new. Just under $15k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweattdogg Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I like that T/A. Fast, reliable, and cheapish. Do you have a garage/tool/ability to wrench? If yes to all those you have a whole bunch of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes to all those you have a whole bunch of options. Unfortunately not. I live in a condo in the city. Just a parking garage. I know where you are going with this. There are a ton of options to make it stupid fast. Good thing about the LS1 is that it's nearly bullet proof and cheap to mod. I'd be up for finding a modded TA too. The only reason I am considering a stock one is the simple fast is that it only has 18k miles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam_diverz Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 are you looking for 1/4 mile stuff, tracking (auto-x/etc) or just cruising? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 You can opt for an FD36 RX-7 with the LS1 transplanted. e.g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparty Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 are you looking for 1/4 mile stuff, tracking (auto-x/etc) or just cruising? To be honest, not much 1/4 stuff. I've never been a fan of the track really. Just going fast when I cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
