Default want a beater car but dunno waht to get-

hey yall im looking for maybe a 2.5k to 3k car that has a capability of going fast. there are so many out there that i just dunno waht to get. i would like something with a strong drivetrain stock - it would be no 9 second monster just something to work on instead of the blazer (my DD).

im thinkin-
5.0 foxbody w/ homemade TT
third gen camaro w/ a 383 or something

just something that can go fast for cheap. i would like something that would just be fun- it would have stripped interior and everything- just a track car (and weekend bruiser)

Older sentra?
AE86? (custom turbo)
350 first gen s10?
starion?
FWD turbo talon or eclipse?
Turbo Saturn SC-1
Turbo cavalier?

When I first started reading your thread I immediately thought Foxbody..


You could probably get a pretty fast N/A 87-93 fox for $3k, but you're looking at at least another $3k to twin turbo it..
