Least expensive, fastest Honda?
Would it be a crx with the b16a motor? I know it would not be the fastest, but you know what i mean. The most speed for the least amount of cash. While asking this question, does anybody know how fast a Mitsubishi 3000GT, and a Nissan 300ZX is? I was looking through www.autotrader.com for a relativley inexpenisve, fast used car.

Early 90's 3000gt prices vs. early 90's 300z prices favor the 3000gt a bit around here (SF bay area), so for the buck a 3000gt might be a bit better. I've been looking for a car to trick, and I think I might get a miata. Easily found for under 3000 in good working condition, rear wheel drive, tiny, and perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Oh, and apparently is sports one of the nicest manual trannys around.

What kind of a motor would you put in a miata to make it fast? Or, let me re-word that. What better motor would even fit in a miata? That's got to be the smallest car ever made, other than matchbox cars. Are those little cars even fast(stock)?

I plan on turboing my 1.6 engine in my miata. Miata can be fast in corners with the right driver. So yes, they are fast. :rick:

3000gt and 300z both come optionally with twin turbos, and both are quite fast for stock automobile.
