Default Newb Here

Ok ive been driving a 95 jeep cherokee for the last 2 years. it was my first car and i loved it. i bought it stock but since then ive done alot to it. it has a 6" lift 33s, flowmaster, intake, and lots of small stuff.

Here is the bad part. Im going off to USF in the fall and i need something that is better on gas and is a little bit faster. I love my jeep but i really want something new to play with. Im bored of the jeep.

Where should i start?? i love 3000gt's and eclipse's. i dont want fwd tho. so that leaves me with only vr4s and gs-ts, right?? also, if i was going with japo power, should i even think about a 4cyl or look for v6s?

Thanks
GTwannabe

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Well, I would have to say the civic as well for $3k... but it sure won't be fast. But if you want a place to start I would say that would be a good decision.

you could do what a buddy did with his jackedup jeep a 100 shot of nitrous really woke up that truck lol and that would be less than the 2-3k you have to spend and still keep your already done up vehicle

scoot scoots are tons of fun as well and can be had for a grand, great on gas, can park them anywhere and have you ever gotten hammered and driving one threw a house party? if not it's a great experience lol
