1. prob eclipse
2. The easiest formula is: light weight car and big engine. 3,000 lbs is modest weight, and 2,500 lbs or less is getting light.
3. Pontiac trans am
4. cheap-240sx 95 to 98 expensive -evo, sti, 370z When you modify heavily or incorrect, stuff will break. When on a poor platform that already has reliability problems, you can guess what happens. Stay away from American cars. Dime a dozen and they break down in normal trim. European cars suck to work on, I know from experience. Every one has their roots and preferences. Still have my first car bought brand new, 97 240 se, now has sr20 + too much to list and will murder most. I have other toys but the 240 started it for me along with hondas. Tried American and euro but just couldn't take the abuse. p.s. eclipse = girl car, unless a 2nd gen gst,gsx p.s.s. Looking for a 99 firebird trans am? Have a friend who blew his up in stock form, replaced engine now selling it..

6. An old Jaguar. Preferably a light, boxy one from the 1980s. Top Gear modified one, and in a drag race, it beat a Ferrari, a Mercedes, and even a Porshe 911! Look up the episode, I do not know the name of the episode and the exact make of the Jaguar. Go to TopGear.com, and look at their videos. Or look it up on Google. You could also use an old 2 door toyota truck, they are nearly indestructible!
7. All the Japanese cars,especially Nissan Skyline and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII.
