k i know ive made a thread on a car under 10grand
but i totally forgot about my budget
as before in my thread i was looking for 300zx tt, and sc400/300s
now i find that 300zx's break down and that sc400/300s get avg 15mpg....
and compared to our celicas with avg 30mpg they suck.
i have a college student budget and am feelin like crap because i cant make up my mind
what do u guys recommend?
i really want power in my next car as my 1st was the celi
but at the same time reliable and decent gas mileage
thanks!

let me know if i should get a new celica and do mods to it or just go for the sc300

Celica nor Integra are not sports cars. They maybe trying, but they aren't real sports cars.

QUOTE
A sports car is a term used to describe a class of automobile. The exact definition varies, [1] but generally it is used to refer to a low to ground, light weight vehicle with a powerful engine. Most vehicles referred to as sports cars are rear-wheel drive, have two seats, two doors, and are designed for more precise handling, acceleration, and aesthetics. A sports car's dominant considerations can be superior road handling, braking, maneuverability, low weight, and high power, rather than passenger space, comfort, and fuel economy.

When you have a 4cyl economy motor and FWD you are not a sports car. ITR has no torque, you'll have to get high up in the RPMs to see any power.
