Mitsubishi - UNRELIABLE FROM WHAT I READ
Pontiac Firebird ( love this car, but my dad has a '86 Trans Am )

Thats DSMs not Mitsubishi as a whole.

Just got buy a Civic SI, you'll think its fast you won't lose control and smash it into a telephone poll.

Dunno man it was a pretty big bike, definitely not puny.

The kid that was riding it ain't no whimp either, we shared the same psycho bitch of a nymph girlfriend.

My car will hit 120 without much effort man, seriously.

Lmk when you stop representing cars that you aren't even qualified to change the oil in, thx.

The difference in size between 250 -- 600 -- 750 -- 1000 is not that much lol.

my price range is <8,000
looking for any car that is fast, decent priced and ofc reliable. I was very close to buy a black on black 2003 eclipse, but did more research into it and figured out there are lawsuits world wide on that car because made cheap and it's a pos if you don't drop another 5k on the car.

currently looking for:
Toyota Celica GT-S 2000/01/03/04 models
Toyota Supra MKIV 1993-2002 ( not looking to import cars from differnt countries lol )
suggestions please

we just picked up a 97 cobra for 4500.
The gts is not fast by any means
the supra you chose actually has the best engine in them.. good luck finding a running one in good shape for that amount of money.

This car will decimate all after you put about 15 grand or more...

Only thing that comes to mind around that price range would be a camaro, you can get a v8 one 00' ish model lowish miles, you might even find a ss for that much, i know they are somewhat reliable, a friend of mine has gone tru 3 of them, but he beats the shit out of them but he loves them..

If its cheap, it isnt fast or reliable.

if its cheap and fast, its not reliable.

if you want something thats decent priced and fast. i think the years are 90-93 celica all-tracs. they are aorund 6k and they are awd and turbo. 3s-gte is a good motor to work with and a supra is going to be more in the price range of 15-30k. unless you get an mkIII like mine which are no more then 8k for a mint condition turbo targa

I own a 2000 celica gt and i could not be any more happier with it...

Great MGP ( 33/26)
Most people will say they arnt fast but 140 stock hp for a 4 cylinder isnt bad at all. It's not that heavy either. You arnt buying a wrx here....don't expect the worlds fastest car. I think the GTS is 170 stock HP, but the MPG is lower, so that would be your call along with it being more expensive.

My celica has 120k miles (purchased car with 78) and so far ive changed

front brakes
back brakes
timing belt

thats it and those are normal repairs.
