If they are chances are the injectors were never changed and it never had a bigger turbo on it.
Yeah it seems like the cheapest you can get a wrx and it not be a complete POS is around the 10k mark. You can pick up a stock one with around 80k'ish miles in that range. Thanks for the tip on the fuel rail, that's definantely a handy piece of info to have.

Good luck finding a "nice" LS1 for under 8g's.

They are around, just gotta look for them. There's two for sale around my home town, both 6 speed camaro's for $8300. One has like 70k miles and the other I think 82k.

Get a fox and put a sbc in it or possibly a bmw 325e and drop a sbc in it.....or i might sell you my fox

I would say either a 1g dsm, or an s13...but to be honest you've got a lot of options and it really comes down to what you like, and what you want to do with it. ie drag, drift, auto X, or a quick car you can cruise around in.
S13s and DSMs are quicker than a Supra? There are a ton of turbo options for Miatas. They have iron blocks and hold power well. 250whp on a car that light would dominate many cars out there.

If you're looking for a sports car, you dont want a fox. They are not and never will be sports cars, period. Sports cars dont sit like a truck.
