I know what cars are Imports and Domestics. In the first post I said I may have wanted a Domestic, but then in post #14, I stated that I have changed my mind and would like to stay Import.


Thanks.

outside of buying a cheap car and using the difference in price to make it perform with today's cars, the WRX, STi and Evo's are your best choice for imports.

Besides being quick, what else do you want the car to absolutely must have? You gotta narrow it down a bit

I don't really have any ABSOLUTE musts that the car must have. Well besides the obvious such as A/C, P/S, P/W, P/L, etc.. (which most if not all cars now-a-days have)

I don't really have a preference between coupe/sedan. As long as the sedan is sporty looking.

So for my options are: (all used)

-Wrx
-Sti
-Evo
-350z


Hmm.. seems like there is not much out there. Any other suggestions?

My order would be:

2003/2004 Cobra

2005 GTO

2002 Camaro SS, TransAm WS6 (they are not bad to work on, and don't have a lot of problems. I have a '98 With a ton of miles and it dosnt give me any trouble

Mach 1

EVO

STi...

not really an import guy, but I'd take an EVO or STi if I was forced to get one

Everyones opinions are going to be on what they like, and not real facts. Every single one of those cars have "notorious" problems that other people will mention.. But it comes down to getting what you want. Go drive them and then see what you like the most

You were an import guy like two weeks ago.

I'd go with the 350Z, then an Evo, then an STI.
