Most Affordable Fast Sports Car?

Question

I know that Fast and affordable don't usually go together but I would like to get a fast car that is affordable. I am mainly concerned with 0-60 times. What car (new or old) can I get that has a decent 0-60 time? My budget is around 13K, but I would be willing to do dealer financing so that could pop up the budget. I was looking at getting an 80s Trans Am but heard the 0-60 on those was around 8.5 seconds.

Answer 1

mazda miata is the best and was rated most fun to drive by cp magazine for 07

Answer 2

1988 Ford Scorpion. It's hot and fast on the gas~

Answer 3

WIth 13k...you can make almost anything have a good 0-60...awd cars best traction=great 0-60....fwd good traction=good 0-60...rwd=pretty good 0-60...but i mean if you soop up your engine and everything...it really doesnt matter what car...theres trans ams that lose to honda...and hondas that lose to trans ams...its all about what you put in to your car and 13k you can do a lot.

Answer 4

nissan 300zx twin turbo, for 13k you can get a real nice one

Answer 5

If you can find one an SHO.

Yes I know it is a 4 door sedan, but the 89's are fast!

I gave mine away, the fun was gone (I could not even get a Vette to try to beat me when I gave it up and running down a turbo carrara was no challange).

My current project is a Miata (1990) which will get a turbo. If you put a prepped engine in one with a supercharger, it will be FAST. But I am not sure that many drivers can handle a car with only ten pounds per horse (15 lbs boost on a blueprinted engine).

There is also the Monster conversion for a Miata (Ford 5.0 engined) and if you start with a first generation Miata, it can be done for under 13 grand.

Answer 6

buy a 70's chevy with a 350, then rebuild it. with 13k you can make a screaming machine. i have a 77 chevy, with a shortbed, 35 inch tires, and i can smoke them off with no problem.  when rebuilding your engine, look into the cams etc.. h**l you could even stroke the 350 and make a 383, which is badass. as long as you do it right.

Answer 7

I think the newer Mustangs are a really nice sports and they are really affordable and FAST.

Good Luck,
