If you really liked that supra you had the only cars your gonna find in that price range that'll make you happy would be: turbo 2nd gen mr2, sr20ed 240, or another supra. Those are the only imports I can think that have a similar style/handling/power that would be in your price range. You may possibly be able to find a 300zx tt for about 9k but those always tend to have problems unless you can find a really really low miled one. The 3000gt or dodge stealth would also be options but they tend to break alot and are extremely high maintenence. If you get lucky you could find yourself a formula firebird with an ls1 for about 9k. Those are nice and they look pretty slick/sleeperish.

I'm going to get a cherokee and jack it up and put a winch on it. I will spend no more than 5k on this. I'm looking to spend around 5-8k on a rwd or awd car that I will daily drive most of the time and auto-x semi-regularly. I've thought about a LS1 Camaro, wrx (higher end of my price range), sr20 240sx, mr2 turbo, etc.

What are your guys thoughts on what to buy? Only requirements I have are not FWD,faster than the supra and $8000 or less.

What would you guys recommend getting/looking at?
faster then a supra for under 8000????? that's gonna be tough
