Well my options are

90+ 300zx (not the twin turbo)
95-98 v8 mustang (not sure cuz of gas prices)
96+ honda civic ek
98+ honda prelude
98-2003 acura tl.
nissan 240

help me decide... and add some cars to the list if you want.

I only have 2 words for ya Bro............GAS MILEAGE(LOL) look there first and then make your choice.

honda civik!! that's a balanced choice

I`m getting a 2009 Mercedes c300 4matic sport next month which I would suggest to anyone but with price being a factor I think the civic would offer a bit of fun with good mileage. If your trying to impress the ladies though the civic probably wont do much for you there.

Go for a 2004 + Acura TL (budget permitting)
If not, the 240 is a pretty solid car but lacks a bit of power.

300zx would be my choice.
You can upgrade it and install the turbocharger by yourself.

i might get this one... ill find out by the end of this weekend. the price is $4500... and it has turbooo

gotta love the mustangs just had my 2000 all rebiult top to bottom.
gas isnt too too bad but then again i dont go anywhere.

mustang gt?

dude dont get that year gt mustang the modular motors are crap in those years the eclipse with the turbo is sweet but since its turbo is it gunna need premium? my supercharged pony needed premium and octane booster, oh and to the guy who said if hes tryin to impress the ladies not to get the civic dont matter what ride you got as long as u got the muskles to show off LOL, anyways yeah dude if u can afford gas and i think its juss guna get higher get what u will enjoy
