Well the 1990's Dodge Daytonas were not fast by my standards. How much $ are you looking to spend?
not much. i mean, im just looking to make an upgrade from the ford ranger pickup i have right now that barely goes 80. how much horsepower would you say one of the faster cars from around 1990 would have?.
A 90's era Mustang GT would have better than 200hp. A Buick Grand National from that same time period would be a nice choice as well, if you could find one with low miles that would be one of my top picks. I drive an old Corvette, but one of those may cost a little more than you want to spend.
dude just saying what cars are fast from the 90's dosnt help haha. how much are you looking to spend and i'll let you know.
From the 1990's a 1992 ferrari F40, Or lambo I heard the Gtr porsche are good too.
Excellent choices :)Quote:

My only vehicle is a 63 nova with a 350 V8 from a vette in her and she runs like a striped-ass ape. Easy to work on... no computers required ha ha! Tune her up by ear. I know a guy with, believe it or not, a 66 Ford Falcon who can run with me for a pretty good piece. Those old cars have a lot of possibilities for modding. A lot of them, a really rad engine change was just basically a drop-in thing, with all the bolt holes the same, as in the case of Nellie, my Nova. (I did have to get a low profile water pump, and put in a bigger radiator, but that's about it.) I'm not selling 90'scars short, but the old cars are easier to mod up.

If I were going with a car from the 90's I would go with a 5.0 Mustang.
remind me why turbo cars are shitty?Quote:

Mustang Cobra, Camaro Iroc, Supra or RX-7 TT, Shelby Daytonas are pretty quick too, but their not as fast. Buick Grand National would be my choice. You could also pick up a 80s Vette for a good price.
What price range are you looking at?
yah we need a price range here.
you can never go wrong with american muscle, but japan put out some nice turbo cars those years.
for real cheap if you dont mind 4 cylinders, you can get Eclipse GS-T or GSX and just hook it up a little bit.
or a Honda Prelude with the H22 motor in it and just put a few hundread bucks into it, and it will run 13's
nissan 300zx twin turbo or dodge stealth/mitsubishi 3000gt twin turbos... id keep the shittay truck and buy a street bike tho... thats what i did... except my truck is new and pimpin :)
5.0 arent those the 80's???? When you sit in one its like going back in time. The seats are all Plad and it has a boot shifter. I think Vanilla Ice has one of those:1laugh:Quote:

You won't go wrong with american muscle, but for something different an import could do very well too.
they made 5.0's untill 1995Quote:
