how bought a first gen eclipse...lsd...30 psi of turbo boost...great for a sleeper...my friend has one and destroys supras, vettes, stangs, anything short of something w/ 750 hp...

 

holy crap...30psi? total pressure? i hope so. but all the time?. how long would engine last?

 

What about the new Sentra SE-R VSpec? $18000, 175 ponies at 6k RPM, 180 ft-lbs at 4000 . Wanna talk about a sleeper? Who the hell is going to think that a Sentra is going to kill anything? And with the extra 7g's you can do some nice mods.

 

What? No one mentioned my car???

You know what car will take my $25K

Other choices: Used S4, E36 M3, R32 Skyline GT-R....or FD3S RX-7

 

used 02 s2000

 

I imagine one could get a decent Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III for $25k. That would be my pick.

 

i agree with balla.....first gen DSM

 

Used Integra Type R, the car needs to be driven to be fully comprehended. Trust me......

 

if your going for performance get the srt-4,
if your going for looks get mazda 6...one sweet looking ride.

 

don't laugh...a 1 gen neon...easily put out 400 hp for less than 20k...and yes you can daily drive it...check out neons.org // howellautomotive.com // modernperformance.com // the ultimate sleeper...lol...

 

super 7 kit car

could be megabusa, caterham superlight 600(?), or just plain old replica

 

A Caterham R500 superlight is $25000 plus engine... bit out of the range. Not sure how much a Megabusa runs but I'd think it would also be over the $25k.

And they aren't exactly daily drivers

 

A boat. Then go fishing. Already got an Evo.

 

you could get them in Japan for 25k or less..Even if its right hand drive here in Panama that really doesn´t matter that much..Or maybe a used Skyline,,,perhaps

 

i'll go for the wrx...its right around your budget....an it gives you a nice performance too.
