Please tell me what is the fastest car for under 25k.

second hand supra would be my choise ! :wink:

Westfield XTR2
Caterham R300
Radical SR

all 0-60 in under 4
And all around 20k

man ..... i dont know :)
its seems silly but these cars looks are something like toys or cars from the 60's ....
hay but u r right .... he wasnt talking about the looks 8)

how do they look like they are from the 60's?
The caterham looks a little 90's
but the westfield and radical and aerodynamically 21st century stuff

i only saw them in magazines ...
and i dont really like these cars.....
there looks are too classic!!!

dont know maybe what i may imagine un a pic aint nothing like the real life :wink:

this my friend is not classic.

That's like SR-1 car..!
The last SR-1 championship, it was John
Nielsen, who won!!
:wink:

yeah, how long ago was that?
no longer than 18months... it still could never ever be called classic as white suggests!

Agree..
How many years are you,
if i may ask!?

i assume you ar3 asking me may age? :D
im 18 mate what about the rest of you guys?

I think i'm the one of the lowest age there
is members of this thing..!
:)
.o0(Damn!)0o.

yep mate ... this aint the a classic car ....
but i did mean that one ..... when i read westfields..... i know only one car.....
the one that looks classic ....Seight

her is the link for the pic and information....
http://www.westfield-sportscars.co.uk/SEiGHT.htm

well to be fair then, you should have posted an opinion on a car you havent heard off...

i just know the name Westfield
and not the cars name ...
from what i saw i didnt imagine this car will have the same manufactor as the one u brough up its pic! :shock:

...18k on a car that will out-perform any ferrari, porsche, Zonda or Lamborghini in prodcution.
Thats a job well done Westfield :D

isnt that car powered byu the hyabusina motor?

and didnt it beat the zonda on the top gear race track? its pretty awesome though

My choice would be the honda civic type-R

Civic Type R is a pretty good choise...
but as it seems it surely aint the fastest car with this range of prise !

isnt that car powered byu the hyabusina motor?

and didnt it beat the zonda on the top gear race track? its pretty awesome though

I think you can have ANY motorbike engine you want, westfield normally supply you with the kit, so the engine choice is your. The baove could well be an option.

Yeah it beat the zonda, by 2 or 3 seconds! 18 times cheaper as well!

20K car defeat 110K car is this schizophrenia in progress ambition or u all are having cancer of the brain with delusional wat a wreak off not even close to fantasy dream first of all the 20k will explode during the drag causing death to the driver and the fanatic who watch it with drooling of saliva wat a waste and the 110K driver live and go back to his home eat spaggheti while the spectator survive go to hospital eating with tube hahahahahaha wat a joke :twisted:

A readlly bad one as well !

Again russian, I'm still not getting what your talking about. Since I live in the U.S., we don't get that many really cheap, really fast cars. Focus SVT, MAZDASPEED protoge, Mini Cooper S, Dodge SRT-4, Nissan Sentra V-spec would be my choices. If you want to be real american, go with a nice V-8 stang. As for Second hand cars, you could probaly get a saleen or a mustang cobra or even an RX- 7.

Again, the best bet for a $25,000 is a nice big touring bike. A big Honda Goldwing is insainly comfertable and easy to drive. Hell, for 25K, you could get a Goldwing AND a sportbike to jet around in.

NO DOUBT A 240SX WITH A SR20DET SWAP, THROW A TURBO, INJECTORS, FUEL PUMP AND A NEW ECU IN IT AND HAVE 350+ HORSE TO THE WHEELS. BLOW AWAY CAMERO SS'S AND ANYTHING ELSE ON THE STREET. I HAVNE'T LOST YET, BESIDES TO A 600+ HORSE CORVETTE. :wink:

cool - but you havent been up against my 4 cylinder '03 clio... Id run you off the road. <*turns away in disgust of his 98Hp car*>

Mallon your clio with 98bhp wat the hell u mention such a pony in this web site argghhh so slow like tortoise can easily be defeated by mountain bike unlike me using Civic type R EP with HKS turbo VR4 intercooler dyno jet show280 bhp can easily defeated evo 1-7 and still my gasoline consumption is exceptable and the best of all wont explode :twisted:

ya right! :evil:

:D Yup Right mate

U dont believe i have all those gadget i told u and the evo i can defeated hmmmm pity i can send u a post card with pic of me and my EP R to satisfied u

any sport bike evr made would probaly beat any of your cars. The slowest kawasaki ninja has a 0-60 in like 3 seconds. Andi it would still cost half the price of any of your cars.

there is a difrance between a car and a bike....
the bike cant go into corners such as cars .... the handling ability is bikes it much lower ..
but in straight line the bike surely beats cars in straight way ...i dont mean a 50 cc bike :)

I know, but i was talking about superbikes. My dad's first cycle was 125cc's. IT was so slow, it wasn't fast enought to go onto the freeway. His last bike, though, was a 750cc suzuki. He said it could out accelerate anything up to a ferrari. I could belive him, and his bike was a cruiser. Think about this......

Buell Blast

320 pounds
32 horsepower

Some car

3200 pounds
320 horspower!

This power to weight ratio is roughly the same as the Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG, give or take a few horsies and pounds. The base price of this car is about 75k. The base price of a buell blast is 5k. Even though bikes can't corner as well as cars, i'm sure a blast could destroy a CLK55 in a road course.

are you sure that westfield picture isn't a le mans car? it looks so similar

NO DOUBT A 240SX WITH A SR20DET SWAP, THROW A TURBO, INJECTORS, FUEL PUMP AND A NEW ECU IN IT AND HAVE 350+ HORSE TO THE WHEELS. BLOW AWAY CAMERO SS'S AND ANYTHING ELSE ON THE STREET. I HAVNE'T LOST YET, BESIDES TO A 600+ HORSE CORVETTE. :wink:

You wouldt beat my 340bhp cossie, it would be fun tho..... maybe you cold in a straight line (you say you tossed up against a 600hp vette but then, on curves, nuff said 8)

Anyway, it doesnt care, ur car sounds cool to me

The SR20 is a good bet, but what about an old Lancer Evolution (if you live where they can be easily had). You can't go wrong with a Lan-Evo

a bike have bad handling in corners ... thats why bikes cant beat great supercars in a track ..
but the bikes are faster in acceleration thats why they are faster at straight lines and highroads ...and traffic :lol:

anyways you can't compare a Bike to a Car ... !!

aren't engine swaps illegal? They probaly aren't, but someone told me that they are. I know you can't compare a bike with a car, but in my opinion, bikes are so much more fun. You don't have a stell cage around you. When you strap yourself into a cars, your in an enclosed cage (except for westfields, cathrhams, etc.). But when you sit on a bike, you become one. It's almost like running really fast.You feel more free. Theres also a sense of danger. thats what makes it so fun, but again, really dangerous.

The legality of engine swaps really depends on where you live. Here in Ohio I know of many people who have swapped engines without hassle. But I have heard that some states prohibit older engines being swapped in, and then there may be things such as required inspections and emissions testing. So, in conclusion, it depends.

is that car street legal?

Here in the UK - you can do whatever your want in terms of engines - definetly not agains the law, as long as you do the obvious MOT and other safetly laws.

I don't understand. For which porpouse you choose a car??? For Drag, Street challenge, for Autobahn or for rally??? The main question is, where would the owner drive his car. I don't think that the Bike (Yamaha or Suzuki jr whatever) would beat the Subaru on a serpantine, on the road with short straits and with great amount of corners with difrent angles.

he sure can't ....
read the posts and you will see that no body said that!

He said that he needs the fastest car for 25kk, Fastest where????? That is why I asked the question. I dont think that those Kit cars you mentioned will be good at gravel roads.

i think he wanted it juts in general - the road i guess then.
My suggestion of either the Westfield XTR2 or the Radical still stand as the fastest given the price! - i dont thnik there's anything faster.

Yeah, i've heard about that "Radical" car. Is it street legal?

:P :twisted: 8) second handlancer evo v1

Yeah, i've heard about that "Radical" car. Is it street legal?

Yeah, it is in the UK anyway. -not going to be very practical though. And with only a few cm's groundclearance speed bumps arent going to be easy :roll:
still its bought for the track - and thats what it does well

The car that I have found is one of the best my eyes have ever looked at. Whoever said how old are the rest of you guys well I am 16.
The car I have found is a Nissain Skyline GT Turbo 1998 (R34)

July 1998 model, Skyline GT Turbo (R34/2500cc Neo 6 straight), 5 speeds semi-automatic transmission (on steering shifting up & down by thumb pressure, as on racing cars).
Large & comfortable 2 doors coupe, 5 seaters. Bright yellow body and grey interior.
One previous tidy owner car, 41000kms.

Features: AC, ABS, 4 wheel steering, Traction Control, Limited Slip Differential, HICAS, dual airbags, Sony CD stereo & way speakers. Performance exhaust, 17" alloys and low profile tires (235/45/17 front & 255/40/17 rear), 16" Nissan alloys & tires also provided. Front aero spoiler with Xenon crystal headlamps, side skirts & rear aero bumper/spoiler. Super Fine Coating. Remote central lock & remote engine starter.

And this car is on the market for £13000

wow - well worth 13K,

those 41000Km must have been 41K around a carpark! - and the car must be in generally non-perfect condition.
Definetly the cheapest R34 ive heard off.

If I had the choice id have a skyline black with black and red interior - thats the best ive seen.

Is anyone interested in the Nissain Skyline because its my dads car so if anyone wants to buy it get in contact with me. I thought I would do him a favour and sell it for him.

ANY TAKERS OUT THERE!!!!!!

Wow, Skyline is a very emotional name for me. But I think the car probably already got sold and I seem to not have the gumption to see what 13,000 pounds(would one say it that way? I don't have the key for the symbol) translates into American Dollars.

Whee! My first reply/post. What fun, eh? Ahm, lots of chit-chat in this topic. Fastest car for under 25 thousand dollars I am assuming is maybe best answered by a intesnely involved or professional tuner. Find an older car in good condition (unless you want a very co-op sleeper with authentic rust spots :wink: ) and a solid engine from say 6 to 7 thousand dollars and simply spend the rest of you budget on modifications.

I know this might not attract too many people who consider themselves car enthusiest, but it is definitly a viable option for speed on a budget(not tha I myself would ever take on a task like that)

New cars under 25k that'll makes some people stare a bit after you rip away from that stoplight? My personal choice would be either an Subaru '04 WRX weighing in at $24,495 for a very cool, mean looking revamp of the apparently ledgendary rally inspired car with 227 neck popping horse power and a supremely priceless AWD or a VolksWagen GTI of the 1.8T type for $20,880 if you'd like a sunroof and Monsoon sound system. The GTI only has a 'mere' 180 horses/174 lbft of twist, but its very accesable, both about 5,000 rpm trhough a FWD drivetrain. Both cars I consider the best in looks in the feild. They are agressive and clean cut stock, but very customizable at the same time. Looks aside, the engineering on both is of the highest quiality, steals for the prices.

Ta-da! First post done!

You are right about GTi being the best choice, despite not that much power, i'd rater spent that on the GTi than an SRT-4, SRT-4 is faster, more agressive and very very very cheaply built, it's a good overall performer, but if it wasn't for the engine, it won't be performance at all, i think the same about Sentra SPEC V is fast, but it's not good
