2004 Subaru Impreza WRX-STI

The Impreza, also called STI or WRX for short, is every teenagers dream. With 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds you will not have time to breath. Only in between switching gears gives you a break of the action. With all wheel drive it is definitely a winner in the rain or snow. Leave ricer Civics in the dust. But this car doesn't leave your wallet full, but you really do get what you are paying for when comparing to a Porsche or Ferrari.
Engine: Flat 4, turbo charged
265 hp
Performance: top speed is 151.5 mph
0-60 is in 5.1 seconds

2007 Ford Mustang GT

I am not really a big Ford fan, but you gotta love the Mustang GT. It is a lot of power starting at $25,695 as the base price, you really get what you pay for. You may think this car is the bomb, I don't. But I really do like the 69' fastback or Shelby. Also the powerful V8 of this beauty eats the Fuel like a tired dog. So plan on ahead on your check book if you plan on getting this car. This is the modern muscle car, so if your a fan, this might be in your interest.

1991 Honda CRX - Si

One of my favirote cars, they are lightweight and have good handling. These cars are quick, and seems like you are driving a toy at high speeds. Although it is not as fast without an engine swap. It is 0-60 mph 8.87 seconds for the Si. If you do decide to get one, look for rust spots, the best swap for the crx is the B-Series engine swap, these come of off the 2000 Civic si. But to get most out of Honda get a H22a. That is off a Prelude Type S, that are only made in Japan, so you will need to get it imported. Overall this vehicle is great, and is a great tuner or project car for anybody.

2001 Toyota Celica

I remember I was about 14 back in 2001, when my brother got this car. It was a smashed up, rolled over Silver Celica Gt-S. He fixed it up, and when it was done it looked like a Lamborghini. The handling was superb, the acceleration was great, especially when Toyota's VVTL-i kicked in.
