    What car is right for me?

    Im new to V8's. Im used to big turbo 4 bangers.

    I basically want a car (under $45,000), that is easily moddable, that can create sick amounts of power. I want a car with lots of torque. I am only a straight line/roll kind of racer. I basically want a freeway queen..

    Corvette?

    If you want to stay under 45,000$ honestly if you have money, pickup an f-body and build it like nuts. Spend 20k on it, and put another 15-20 into it, and you wont have a freeway queen, you will have a 200mph GOD!

    My life is a
    Ben Stiller movie.

    buy a stock-ish z28 for 13,000 and then mod the hell out of it. I don't think you need to look for a 45,000$ monster right off the bat.

    Exactly you can pull an easy 700hp+ out of an N/A LT1 I don't know what you can pull out of an LS1 N/A easily.. But I'm sure its up there. Just plan on dropping at least a 12bolt in the rear end and getting a carbon fiber driveshaft to hold the power..

    You can pick up C5 Vettes for as much as some f-bodys . Get a 98-00 for under or right over $20k....

    im a GM guy but a Kenne Bell Cobra would be nasty and could be had for less than 30K. never owned one and never want one but a Supra can be a highway monster and pretty common to see 800RWHP+

    Why? When he can get a vette, Camaro SS, or WS6 and with the money left over he can put into the car and hang the Shelby out to dry? He could find a nice used c-5 z06, and we all know the vette has greater pimp status than any stang.

    drop your wrx and get an STi... i love that car my friend has it...but yeah that wasnt very helpful

    you have to be more specific in what you want...freeway queen under 45k is a very large category...do u want a stock car, modded, new? etc...

    Yeah but at the end of the day which one would you rather go home in, the Neon or the Viper?

    i too recommend either a 4th gen fbody if u can swing the insurance, an 03-04 mustang mach 1, 03-04 mustang cobra, on the cheap a nice clean fox body 5.0 soup it up real nice for 10 to 15k. agreed, a used c5 is often a really good buy. in some states a vettes insurance is cheaper then an fbody or mustang as well. in nj it is.

    buy a cheap LT1 car and use the rest to build it. stroke it to a 396, giant aluminum heads, fat ass cam, with a 6 spd. and turbo it. that right there is sex on wheels.
