    The best provider gives you a plan with the minutes you need at the right price. The coverage that you need to make calls all the time.

    It was a TOTAL flop.. for the price; you could get a way better car like a Porsche 911 Carrera, and considering this car gets 130 HP; and it has no aftermarket.. theres no potential for "fixing it up". All in all; one of the worst cars ever built the way I see it.

    Plus.. it's freaking slow, my base '96 V6 5 speed camaro would smoke it so easy. And my camaro is considered S-L-O-W.....

    Instead.. you could buy a good '93 Celica Alltrac turbo; which has amazing tuning potential.. and it really is the grandfather of the WRX STi, and the EVO today. Back then, it was the alltrac turbo.



    Another choice would be the 2nd gen MR2.. and those go for pretty cheap; so for looks, you can get a veilside body kit; and have some left over for a blow-off valve, new ECU, and of course, more boost. With all that stuff I mentioned, it would look like this: (All for under 8 thousand too. Plus; you don't have to pay for the costly repairs.. this car is really reliable)



    Not to mention.. these 2 wouldn't break down as much.

    Last option.. it's also one of the cars I'd love to trade my camaro for: VW Corrado. Though, it's not good for tuning potential; stock, it can keep up with the 2 cars above pretty easy; which means it's way faster than my camaro, and that delorean. Looks like this:

    There are tons of parts for the DMC-12 because they were to build 10,000 cars each year and about 8,000 were made in the three years. There are regional stores that can fix just about anything. There is no store in the MidWest right now. DCM in WA,
    2 DMC's in CA, DMC in TX, DMC in FL, DMC in CT, DMC in GA. It is not cheap to fix a DMC-12 witch is why many people are intrested in buying one.
    They were built to last and be safe. There was other no car that got the speed and performance it had and met all saftey standards for 1981.
    You can upgrade the stock engine to go 197 HP It is not cheap to do.
    Most of my friends dream cars are Dodge Viper or Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

    Yeah but the 911 Carrera doesn't have a Flux Capacitor, does it?

    Either a Nissan Z or an Audi TT love the style of both of them (both are kinda similar looking).
