What is the least amount of money I can spend to get at least 350hp?
Is the pontiac gto my only hope?

Buy 290 hp lincoln mark 8
Make sure it has been ruined by a nigger
Put cams in it
Ez
Reliably? Stock? Do you care about handling?
Assuming only reliably, id buy a Fairmont wagon with the 5.0 and get heads, carb, exhaust, and cam, and that should be close.
Put nitrous in a 2v mustang from the new edge generation.
Need at least a 100 shot.
>>14124516
that or a terminator
people want $8000 - $10000 for both of them
10 grand can buy a E55 amg
http://www.carclassifiedsbystate.com/13/mercedes-benz/e-class/e55-amg/index.html
you will get 450 rwhp
that should be enough to destroy your tire budget
I know a guy who has $5000 into his 4th gen camaro. Total.
It makes 372.
>>14124578
$10k plus the $6k repair within the next month or two
>>14124586
nobody said he was going to fix it
fuck it, just gut the inside like some people do.
when something brakes take it off.
its heavy anyway
>>14124578
The thing about an AMG is you need to take a diagnostic computer with you to see if it has 10 faults or 50 in the electricals which will cost a fortune to get fixed
>>14124586
>le old mercedes benzes cost 10000000 to repair every week meme
>$600 Thunderbird
>$1800 in parts
>will be above 350whp as soon as I get it back together
I think you're looking in the wrong places OP
>>14124611
benzboy detected
>>14124536
reliability is easily most important
i dont need to keep it 100% stock but would rather not go past basic bolt ons
obviously handling is important but its definitely somewhat of an afterthought if im entirely honest
>>14124555
>put nitrous in it
i kind of hate this argument tbf you can just recommend any car then if you want to just put nitrous in it and watch it explode
>>14124566
most of the termis ive seen are more expensive than gtos
theyre ugly as fuck too
>>14124578
im sure those are a dream to drive
i dont like the idea of spending twice what i pay for the car in repairs during the first few years of ownership
>>14124600
like i mentioned the op seems to want a car with power. the car has power and a lot of shit he doesnt need.
take off the parts that dont make it faster and often break. then you have the engine which doesn't break in amg's.
this meme sucks unless you are implying hes going to keep it in showroom shape.
why would you, they are worth nothing. its a chassis with a great engine. everything else is not necessary.
>>14124621
are you the one that posted your gf or was it a different thunderbird owner
>>14124566
Care to link a sub 10k Termi?
>>14124621
to each his own but that thing is beyond ugly. i had to walk out to the garage every morning and see that thing in it id probably off myself
>>14124626
There are many 2vs running around with nos that aren't blown up.
Learn your shit.
And if you're dumb enough to blow one up?
Buy another engine for $200.
>>14124630
that was the anon with the one that's in better condition than mine
>>14124632
>Ugly
All you said was "350hp" and "cheap".
>>14124632
i agree. it is truly horrible looking. not in a good way either like a sugga
>>14124631
theres only two for sale on my craigslist right now and theyre both $12k
pretty close to ten
>>14124651
what do the E55 run in the 1/4 anyway? 12's?
do people do pulley swaps on them?

>>14124611
No, repairs are totally cheap.
That's totally why my girlfriends 6.9 will take 10k to fix.
>>14124635
>There are many 2vs running around with nos that aren't blown up.
even if that is true are you honestly trying to suggest running nos doesnt drastically shorten engine life? dont be delusional m8.
>>14124646
lol good point i guess
>>14124647
kek exactly
i like endearingly ugly but that thing is just flat out unapologetically pigdisgusting
>>14124664
youre not wrong but to be fair everything that has been posted doesnt really fit the criteria.
termi is not cheap
amg is cheap to buy but not cheap to own
>>14124664
this. people usually have some kind of mental image of what they want and want posters to play 20 questions.
>>14124675
>but anon! you could just do all the work yourself! all you need is $40,000 worth of amg diagnostics equipment! you can easily just remove everything that breaks, the car will run fine!
>check craigslist for foxbodies
>literally 90% of them are modified for drag racing
>most of them are dirt cheap
Okay I want a car
2008+
Heated seats
Rwd
6 speed
V8 with 350rwhp+
30+mpg highway
3200lbs Max
LSD from factory
Can't be like what everyone else has
Must handle better than a Miat, stock ofc
Cheap upkeep
Easy to work on
Luxurious interior

>>14124772
Down payment on a Lexus RCF.
>>14124772
the op lists literally a single requirement and then asks the least expensive way to do so
why are you so retarded
>>14124879
lol confirmed for actual retard
ok sorry man i feel bad now carry on
>>14124772
there aren't any
>>14124869
See>>14124879
Welcome to /o/, hopefully you leave soon.
>>14124897
i dont think anyone is missing that joke m8
the point i was trying to make was that his joke makes no sense in reference to this thread. the op asked for the easiest way to accomplish one thing. its a very simple question to answer with a lot of different answers. that anons joke was retarded and so are you
>>14124897
>this fucking post
kill yourself my man
>>14124516
LS1 Fbody
Cam and lid and you'll make well over 350 for cheap
Thunderbird 2.3 turbo, turn boost up
civic, celica or lancer shitbox
swap the respective k20, 3sge or 4g63
its all about that power/weight son
>>14124664
I've always preferred Camaros but the 2000-era Mustangs were kind of nice looking I must admit
>>14124516
>Is the pontiac gto my only hope?
>ls1
yes
>>14125455
>14125455
which cam
>>14125958
>gto LS1
trans am LS1 here... my car was faster than a Pontiac G8 GXP on the highway
and should be faster than an 5.7l GTO as well
>>14125884
>all about power/weight
>starts with a car with worse power:weight
ricer mentality
why don't you START with a car that makes 300+ hp stock
>>14124772
>2008+
this is the real funny part
also
>3200lbs max
>must handle better etc
kill yourself. your a poorfag. you cant even afford the pontiac that is your "only hope"
>>14126012
because its harder to make a ca lighter than make it powerful you dumb fucking cuck
the "300+hp stock" car you are talking about is most likely some amerishit pigfat cantturn barge, so its trash
>>14126061
>thinks his swapped fwd shitbox actually handles better than a RWD sports car
also it isn't hard to make an LS1 500hp N/A. let alone even farther with boost (and nitrous)
a STOCK LS1 will shit on most swapped fwd cars. even a k20 civic gutted out is only running high 12's. that is NOT much faster than a stock muscle car. i'm sorry bro this isn't your animes
>>14124516
get a r32 gtr.
you won't regret it.
>>14126092
for comparison my car would run 12.9 all day with a fucking stall and longtubes
>>14126092
>thinking LS powered cars are "sports cars"
>thinking they are nothing but trash
KEK!
>>14124536
Kek, just bought one of those last week
f body ls1 or new edge snek
>>14126105
smdh
>>14126120
>the Civic is noticeably faster
xD
GM fanboys on suicide watch.
>>14124516
You can get a C body mopar for under 8k. 325hp minimum with almost 500lb/ft of torque. Or did you want something a lot newer?
>>14124516
Get an Impala.
>>14126120
>Tsukuba
I'm not even the guy you are talking to, but every time I see one of these images (which I know are bait for the GM guys) it references Tsukuba which is known to favor cars with short gear ratios which leaves out most American and German cruisers. Hell, most any car would lose to a kart on Tsukuba so why not show a comparison on Willow Springs or Sebring? That'd show which is truly better and let the larger cars take advantage of their top end. This argument has been the same since WTCC when the Mini was battling pony cars in the 60s and 70s.

>chasing hp
>not hp per kilo/pound
hp by itself is meaningless you know
