I vote for STi. Had one and it was a blast! 3 grand will make it into a 500WHP car!

$3,000 won't make even a 350whp car out of an STi my friend. Maybe you were thinking of an SVT Cobra?

I might be off, been a few years since I've been in the STi crowd. Maybe I was thinking of COBB Stage 2 FMIC, DP, TBE.

DougLikesBMW · 10-11-2008, 02:53 PM

Hmm, it would have to be one of the M3's. I love them both, but I voted for the E46.

Goodluck finding a STI, EVO, RX7, or Supra that werent beaten and abused to near death.

E36 M3s can be found in good condition owned by older people who didnt abuse them. So can vettes.

A Supra was a $40,000 car new and never had a rock bottom pricing in there life. It is also known to be one of the, if not THE most reliable of potent sports cars considering there are ones with over 200,000 miles on them single turbo'd and making 500-1000hp. I would in fact trust a 100,000+ mile Supra to give me less problems than anything German for that matter. And I also don't think you realize how reliable and strong an LS1 RX-7 is... or that plenty of people beat there M's to death as well. A car driven hard and taken care of is more often than not a better car to go with then a low mileage garage queen.

Boost Gomez · 10-11-2008, 06:49 PM

I would go with either the STi or the E46 M3. Voted for the STi though to even out the results..

vAnt826 · 10-11-2008, 07:54 PM

I'd do an EVO over STi anyday.

The main battle I had was EVO vs M3. Sure the M3 is faster in a straightline, but for modification the EVO would prove much more enjoyable

If I plan to keep it stock it would be E46 M3 all the way.

+1 on Supra praise. That engine is almost bullet proof....and can be repaired easily too without costing much. But I dunno about LS1 RX7.... is it really that reliable? Hmmm....!

Anyway, I voted for Supra because I just love that car

Rusty's508whp · 10-12-2008, 12:17 AM

I voted for supra, very reliable and you wont regret it!

E82tt6 · 10-12-2008, 01:52 AM

For a performance car?

The LS1 RX7 blows away everything else on that list in terms of overall performance, and driving fun.

If we're talking DD STi or one of the M3s. Pick the M3 based on wether you prefer handling, or prefer power.
