    Well the 1990's Dodge Daytonas were not fast by my standards. How much $ are you looking to spend?

    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.

    90's? Girlfriend, try 60's and 70's. Try to find maybe a vintage Charger or Stang or Vette. Pontiac GTO. The possibilities boggle the mind. 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.

    Love
    Anna

    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

    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

    Vanilla Ice had a souped up Tempo. He sang about it in his song "Ice Ice baby"

    A Delorian would be awesome. But for cheap & fast, a 5.0L mustang would be your best best. There is TONS of aftermarket parts for them, and it's all cheaply priced too. Not that great handling though. A supra, or rx7 would handle way better. Maybe a Datsun 300zx (before it became nissan, they are nice cars)

    You won't go wrong with american muscle, but for something different an import could do very well too.
