This is a guy from craigslist who wants to sell me the car for $600. Good deal? Bad deal? Is it AWD?
We kinda need a link to tell you. lol. Nice suggestion Sebba, that'd be a good alternative for an evo, but is there much performance out there for it right now?

The one thing i've learned of Audis, is that maitenence is quite high. In terms of maitenence, the eclipse is quite cost-effective. Heres my top picks:
Evo VIII
[WRX STi, i've heard it has much less potential that Evo]
Audi S4
Eclipse GSX

If you have any suggestions, please post them. I'd like a wide variety of options.

If you save up your money until 2010 you can buy the new Pontiac GTO that will be coming out, modeled after the early 70's model.

I'm really not into American cars, just not my thing. I found another AWD, the GTI. I've heard good things, opinions? + Suggestions

So some kid from school wants to 'race' me. Has his mom's 1997 Camry, either a v4 with 133hp or v6 with 194. Think an eclipse with an intake can win $50?

Also, someone told me that letting off the gas when the gears are about to shift then jamming it back makes it shift quicker..

And supposedly turning on the AC turns off "economy mode" and gives the car more.. power? ****, it sounds retarded to me but I thought i'd ask.
