So what you are saying is that you don't really care about either one... right? :hihi:



I guess I have to be "partial" to the Dodge Ram 2500 crew (not that they are gonna win it of course. :hihi: )

I have to give props to the vw Golf group for pulling it off. They made a fairly impressive car.

Even more impressive it was one editor and some help from HPA.(Probably a lot of help but still impressive)

Wow pretty good. If only that could be done in real life... could you imagine actually doing that? you could get an awesome car that would rival cars in the 30k range (or at least give them a good run for the money). and best of all... it'd be DIY. too bad i don't have mechanic hookups like that...

SO the question is posed: if you could choose any car one ebay and would have to abide by the same rules, what year make and model would you choose and what would you do to it. How much would you expect to pay for the car and could you still be nicely modded with the rest.

Personaly I would of chosen a 1993 RX7 twinturbo (NO SUNROOF). you can pick one up for like 10-12k.
Upgrades:
Severely upgrade the suspension, brake overhaul, super light rims w/ good rubber wrapped around them.
Aftermarket turbos, larger intercooler, manuel boost controller, chipped computer, intake, exaust.
Some nice gauges on the A pillar (boost, exaust temp, etc.)
JDM tail lights

This car would rock out there in 0-60, 60-0, .25 mile, and be awsome on the Slalom.
