Ok Ive Been Lookin At Many Different Cars For A Fast Daily Driver.
And I think Im Comin Down To The Lexus is300 or A Nissan 300zx tt..

I Know the lexus is N/A But 240hp stock is good i could get a turbo & fmic under 1k on ebay and and a catback turbo exhaust with some bolt ons and some good tuning...
or The Nissan Which Comes stock Fi And with Bolt-ons It Could be A quick car Also.

But After i finish the lexus I Could keep up with Nissan any day...So Any help anyone?

a) the is300 is only 215bhp
b)requires premium for that 215bhp
c)ebay parts suuuuuck... i beg you, buy brand name parts. because of ebay knockoffs, companies are not coming out with anything new, cuz people just steal the designs, and ppl buy em on ebay.
d)"The Nissan Which Comes stock Fi And with Bolt-ons It Could be A quick car Also"  COULD BE?! as an owner, i can tell you right now the TT is freakin nasty bone stock.
e)the only FAST is300 that ive seen, had a 2JZ from a MK4 supra swapped into it.
