  • I'm thinkin' Asian!

    I have had my share of problems with my Camaro. Altough it is sexy, sporty, and fun, I believe I want to look into possibilities of other brands of cars. What is the best sub 15 sec. Asian car(or easily modded to sub 14) that can be found under 8k? I was thinking Eclipse GS-T or something along that nature. What's your input?

    If you are looking to get a car with less issues not many people will tell you to get a DSM.

      Exactly. You can easily get a 1990-1994(1st gen DSM) turbo Eclipse, or Talon for under 8k. BUT...They are extremely finicky, and prone to breakdowns. For a turbo charged 4 cylinder they are real quick, but you pay for it with the maintanence costs(timing belts, head gaskets, etc...).

      I'd stick with honda, or toyota(maybe an old school supra?).

        How about a prelude? Isn't there a few years that had mid 14s?

              just been in the shop a lot more than I think it should. Spend about 2k ontop of the car itself, and it's starting to misfire again. Not to mention it is getting older with more miles.

                A little out of my price range. For that price jump, might as well rebuild my engine I have now and throw a cam in. ;)... THat sounds good and all, but I dont have those funds yet! :)

                  Look around for on older model Toyota Supra Turbo. Don't and haven't had one, but I like them, and imagine they could run 15's. If you don't mind coming to FL, I know where you could get one for around $800 I think it was.
