V8 or F/i v6 sedan of choice?

[Jokerzl]

Ok guys im looking into v8 or v6 f/i cars. Wondering what cars you like and why you like them? My main choices for cars would have to have aftermarket market. Going to mildly build it. Want to run 12s with no nitrous. Wife will drive it sometimes during the summer.

15-25000 going to be used i never buy new cause i cant leave it alone

 

[Yaj Yak]

back to the op though.... i mean pending price range- there are so many options.

go up to 20k. i say don't worry about fi, pick up a srt8 300c or charger, a v8 g8, evo/sti if she can drive stick... 335i with some shat done... 535i same route...

go marauder and use the leftover dollars to s/c it and go fast...

boom. those are my bets.

 

[Jokerzl]

Love the maruader route, love the g8 route, love the wrx route( she cant drive stick)

Lincoln ls how does that compare to a marauder

 

[1quick]

do all the 335i's come turbo awd? if they do id go with that one those fucking things rip

My 335xi ran 12.5@111mph on 93 pump gas on all season run flats with Downpipes, filter, inter cooler and air filters. Car sounds stock and was rather quick for something I dd in the worst weather conditions.

Me vs my buddies H/C/I ls1 camaro.

How much $ did those mods cost?

 

[slowchevy]

the coolest part is how quiet it is

How much $ did those mods cost?

Almost nothing... The JB4 tune costs $500, $100 for a dual cone intake and that's probably where 80% of people stop. Add downpipes ($500- $800) and a larger front mount intercooler and you've basically done all you can with the stock turbos.

Realistically though, a tune and intake alone should have you knocking on 12's. Add E85 to that for some extra kick.

I'd go with the 535 if it's going to be a family car. The 3 is nice but you give up almost nothing by going to the 5. Just make sure you go with a sport package.

I'd also skip the Xi model. Just get a nice set of winter tires. The sport version of the rear wheel drive models is by far the best handling. Sport Xi's are basically appearance packages and that's it.

You can find some really nice examples in the OP's price range too.

TBSS would be my choice. Good aftermarket and a good family car with room to cram it full of shit. Do you want a suv, sport compact etc?

 

[ldyzluvdis06]

cts-v

 

[ldyzluvdis06]

it will be me next big purchase car.

Wrx aeems like a good logical choice seem to last long and get 20 + mpg.
