That's a roll of the proverbial (loaded) dice, and remember; the house always wins.

Totally depends on what you're going for. I personally am a bit biased against sports cars built off of family sedan platforms. I'd suggest looking into the S2000, 370Z, Elise, Corvette, Genesis... all that off the top of my head.

Would be all over that BHR Ignition if I still had mine and Big I dunno exactly what your looking for in a car...and I'd prolly brag about this enough to these guys but my buddy has the new cobalt ss turbo and put maybe 2 grand maybe a lil bit more into it and he's running mid to high 12's...I do like the s2000's, r32, sti, wrx, evo, 03-04 cobra, m3, gto, 350z, 300zx, just naming cars I like to see lol
