Well I would have to say an Nissan Skyline R34 GTR. But you cant get that here sooo... I think I would get a Subaru WRX and buy the STI headlight and bumper conversion. Plus its turbocharged and pretty quick

Later,
Nick

BTW none of these cars are really RICE but i know what ya meant

RX7 turbo, 300ZX turbo, Supra turbo or even a project like Inferno is working on.. an old crx, what a sleeper that would be My top choice would have to be a Supra, I fell in love with that car in 89 and the mid 90s models, with the turbo, are just plain bad.. too bad they cost $45k+.

Yea i ment import ya know. there is a difference between the 2. I would probably go with what u guys said. A friend of mine is planning on getting a twin turbo supra when we are old enough to get cars(which is in about a year). I know hes defiantly going to be a match for me if i got a 87-90 gt. But i know cars and especially mustangs very well for my age. I think i could beat him in a street race. What do you all think"?

Stock for stock, it would be a really close race. But i doubt you'd leave the GT stock.

Nick- Ever hear of a company called MotoRex? They've been importing Skylines for about five years. Based in Torrance, that's where they came up with the R33 in the F&F.

You can get an R34 for about 75k. That's what I'd do if I was getting a Saki bomb.

I wouldn't buy a Japanese sports car....

Now I've got a Mitsu Lancer as a grocery getter.

A sports import? hmmm...

Well when a website goes apeshit over "rice" and MOST people are bitching about imports, its easy for someone to assume there is ignorance (not being able to differeniate between imports, and rice) . There has been lots of rice bashing in the BOL lately.

Those little cars are actually very impressive in my opinion. They are reasonably priced, nicely styled (ripped off the Supra), come with a fantastic warranty and options for the price. I worked for Hyundai back in 2000, and they have done wonders with their cars compared to their stateside debut years ago.

Hate to be the barer of reality, but a twin turbo Mk IV Supra will annihilate a Fox Mustang 5.0. Even with a small supercharger, the 5.0 would still be in for a run. That and the Supra can very quickly be made into a mid 12 car at over 110mph for cheap.

Bone stock, the Supra is good for a low 13@106ish. LS1's are not unfamiliar with the back end of those Toyota's.

Now if you're talking a street race, who knows what the end will look like. I suppose it's possible you could get a freaky Fox like mine, but normally don't expect better than a low/mid 14 stock with good driving.

If I was going to buy an Japanese import, it would be a 300ZX TT or a WRX.

Too get a nearly 4000lb Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 to spin all 4 wheels would take a hell of a launch, and a lot more power. Then it takes a lot of praying that the driveline doesn't blow. It's not exactly the strongest setup in the world.

I forgot about the Turbo FD RX7's Sweet cars.

Yeah Deuce I know you can import Skylines. I just wasnt sure if that counted hehe. God if I had the money where I would go...
The R33's arent too shabby either

Later,
Nick
