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!
07 shelby cobra
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.
screw that..get a terminator cobra and go turbo...or pulliedQuote:

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.Quote:

Viper..... erm.. I watched an SRT-4 dust one.... Enough to make me not want to go near one.. Not for what they cost up front.. Plus they just weigh too muchQuote:

You could pick up an 05 c6 for that

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.
