HEY! I need some advice!
Hey guys, so i am an ex owner of a 99' z28 camaro with a significant amount of mods rwhp approx= 430
My dilemma is this. Due to some stupid decisions I made in the past, my parents (the people who bought the car) sold it and it was a tragedy lol. Basically i have i guess redeemed myself within their eyes as a person who should have their own car again however this time there are some constraints.
I must have a new car, no used cars at lower prices. Nothing over $21000, and no v8's, turbos... etc etc.... so basically nothing really hopped up.
So i thought I could simply get a car then mod it out etc... problem is I must not void the car's warrantee. This makes modding extremely dificult and restrained. So basically I am looking for some advice from people about what kind of car, although is not a v8, with no turbo, would be capable of being modded and fooled with enough to get some real results without voiding the warrantee....
I know a lot of parameters... help me please heh.

he prolly meant 21000, idk...u could get the new civic si and call it a day, the i-vtec will give you plenty stock power, and its a really fun car to drive.
p.s. you should tell us the story why you lost your z28 lol$$$$$$$POLAND$$$$$$$

First off, I don't know of any new cars that have warranties and cost $2,100 or my sister would be all over that shit in a heartbeat.
To answer your question:
It's going to really depend on the dealership you get your car from/have it serviced at. There are a lot of dealerships that are not mod friendly and some that can take a few mods, as long as you never do something stupid and break the car as a result of a modification you do.
With that being said, you can get yourself maybe a honda civic SI or something to that sort that does fairly well for an economy-type car.
I can't really think of anything else because most cars are switching over to using turbochargers (and a few superchargers) in order to get the higher performance while also getting the good mileage when not punching the throttle.

id probably say the new civic as well.
As far as mods go, you need to try to build a healthy relationship with your dealership. Get your car serviced at the place you bought it at everytime, no exceptions. Do some of the service work they upsell, and be a good customer. Doing that will make service advisors and managers turn a blind eye to many incriminating modifications. And yes, i speak from much experience...okay

according to the magnusson act or something like that they cannot void a warranty simply because a modification was done to a vehicle. they have to prove that the mod caused the problem. anyways check out the mazda3. they are pretty nice cars.

Scion tc? They look okay as long as you dont mind seeing alot of them on the road. And the TRD supercharger they make for it doesnt void your warranty. It may shorten it now though Im not possitive if its been changed since the kit came out.
