Yeah this guy is more or a cone killer than a dragger. It will probably see regular street use, but wont' be his primary daily driver. Some modifications are inevitable, and a full built project isn't out of the question either. I also said RX-7, but then I'm partial since I have one

You are right. I've driven one, but this guy is funny. He won't drive an American CAR if gave it to him and paid him to drive it. That's why there are none on the list.

Whatever he buys will START OUT STOCK, or as close to it as possible. He will be doing all the upgrades and modifications.

If he test drove an 03 cobra or a Z06 he may change his mind but some people just dont like american cars.

Nah, you're not partial, that's just the right car for him. Especially if he has friends that already have them, and know how to mod and care for them. Those things can have such great power and handling... perfect for the cones.

Weel being an S2000 owner I do have to put in my S2k plug. Yeah for 35 grand you can buy a brand new S2000 and turbo it. 350ish rwhp. Fun ride, trust me. If not that, I'd look into a G35 coupe or even a lower model 350Z and then add Greddy's twin turbo kit for 6 grand. Other than that, a used low mile Audi S4 is a great car.

Obviously I'm biased as hell, but my EVO is freakin badass.

I took it out today for its first dead stop launches....Jesus Christ that was fun. Its cool as shit to leave four full tire marks on the cement.

My car has some limited edition stuff in the interior. That with all the stock customs and bad ass speed sold me.
