What are the names of some sports cars that have high end power?

Cheap and reliable sports car?

  • so i'm looking for a car to devote all of my time and money into. I am looking into the local racing scene (legal racing, that is) and sooner or later i want to join in some of these races, and possibly make some money. im going for all power here, i'm not looking to pimp out my car. i dont want to end up with something that looks like it came out of need for speed. basically i want something that naturally looks good as is. Problem is, i have a small budget. I want to find a car used for no more than 4000. I want something that won't be terrible and costly to maintain, either. I would guess that would take any european car out of the equation here, but if there are exceptions to that let me know. I have thought about the usual "tuner" cars, and though some of them interest me, thats not what im exactly going for. I want something that obviously looks sporty, yet with style. lastly, please dont give me the insurance talk that i see on every question like this. Im old enough where I don't care about insurance. I have a steady job and nothing major to pay off. And, that aside, the car probably wont even touch the road for a year or 2.

$4k for a reliable car is hard enough and you want something reliable for racing? Good luck, maybe a Honda or Toyota that is 10-12 yrs old and only needs a few grand to make it a racer might work, but nothing is cheap. And with your budget I would be surprised if you can even take a scraper and make it last a few races let alone be reliable. Racing and speed + reliability starts at $15k depending on how fast and what type of racing you want to do. A 6 point roll cage could cost up to $3k alone, the motor will cost more than you pay for the car, and any euro crap is just that. You need to save up a lot more than $4k if you want to play. An 04 mitsubishi cost us over $12k for a cage and motor/computer/injectors and exhaust. Then there are rims and tires, body and paint, replace the glass, fuel pump and so on. A race car is going to cost a lot more than $4k, that is just a shell, unless you plan on just playing at being a racer and not really stand any chance of actually competing and winning

A fellow forum member had this post: I just came across this in the CNN home page. It's pretty sad. MB doesn't have ANY cars in the most reliable in ANY of the categories. It has 7 cars in the least reliables, including SLK in the least reliable sports car category. ?! Most Reliable Sport/Sporty car Most reliable (Best score first) Lexus SC Toyota Camry Solara (4-cyl.) Subaru Impreza WRX Honda S2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse* 2006 Mini Cooper hatchback Least reliable (Worst score first) Pontiac Solstice* Mercedes-Benz SL Mercedes-Benz CLK Mercedes-Benz SLK (V6) Chevrolet Corvette Porshce 911 Carrera Ford Mustang (V6)

Get an old 1980's or 70's mustang if your looking for power under $4000.
