Get a Mustang GT and a Paxton supercharger kit. You should be running 450-500 horsepower at the rear wheels with that setup.

A supercharger (also known as a blower) is an air compressor used to compress air into the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. The additional mass of oxygen that is forced into the cylinders allows the engine to burn more fuel, which improves the volumetric efficiency of the engine and makes it more powerful. A supercharger is powered mechanically by belt- gear- or chain-drive from the engine's crankshaft. It is similar in purpose to the closely related turbocharger, but a turbocharger is powered by the flow of the engine's exhaust gases driving a turbine. Superchargers may absorb as much as a third of the total crankshaft power of the engine, and in many applications are less efficient than turbochargers. In applications where a massive amount of power is more important than any other consideration, such as top-fuel dragsters and vehicles used in tractor pulling competitions, superchargers are extremely common.

ford mustang gt, for 27 grand you get one fully loaded, and 5 seconds to 60, w/ that extra three grand you can buy a supercharger. The 350Z's okay but it doesn't have a v8, and a lot less torque, something like 280 v 320 for the stang, and the stang has more low end power. The WRX Sti does not have a lot of luxury, it definitely doesn't look good. Also the VW GTI that has luxury its decent looking and the dsg is nice, or you can go w/ the a3 s-line but thats a little pricier. A used C5 vette is a good deal and you don't have the instant depreciation, h/e the interior isn't its strong suit, the gto on the other hand has a great interior and great performance, it looks clean and its at the end of it's run b/c of emissions standards changing (boo) and you can get a good deal on taht 400 hp even less than the 'stang\nand its resell value should be pretty decent cause they didn't sell alot. I think your best bets would be a new stang, or the gto, maybe a used vette, or a used M3

I did that to my Camaro and put a 5.7 383 in there. After we emptied out the engine bay we diced out the entire ECM and electrical harness. Then hooked up the MSD system and it runs like a champ. BUT the draw back was my tach was fucked. It was run by the module. So i have to get an aftermarket tach. But other than that go for it. You can get alot more power from a carb than an efi not to mention maintenance is that much easier. So expect to remove the ECM, ignition, and replace the intake manifold, and pretty much trash all your sensors since they'll be useless.

GM has brought out 2 different kits to up the horsepower on the Cobalts. Check with your local dealership (they have just now became available).  1 of them includes a SuperCharger.\nHypertech has a great program for the Cobalt but you have to remove the factory GM program & the Hypertech computer installs its' own program.\nThe GM kit is probably the safest bet, though. Since it has been designed specifically for the Cobalt.\nGood choice for a vehicle. I have always been a fan of the Cavalier & the Cobalt is nothing but a body style change. It is built off of the Cavalier platform & they did pretty much prefect it.\nExcellent choice for a vehicle to play around with.

Here in my view are the pros and cons of each:\n\nAdding a custom turbo to the GS: pros: you can select the turbo, it doesn't have to be the stock GSX turbo, but you have a lot of good choices, for example the Mitsubishi TD05-16G or TD05-18G.  Cons: you will need bigger injectors, fuel pump, and engine management. I highly recommend custom dynotuning for safety and performance. Torque-steer: with FWD and additional torque, you will encounter significant torque steer. This shouldn't be a problem if you are aware of it, and drive carefully. You will probably need a new clutch to handle the additional power.\n\nGSX: pros: less torque steer due to AWD. Injectors and pump are already sufficient.  cons: AWD drivetrain will have more driveline loss of horsepower in exchange for better handling.

I actually imported a supercharger from the US.  It was a Vortech supercharger and I had a mechanic install it for me.  I found an amazing thing though: you can actually find resellers that will sell you a supercharger kit cheaper than the manufacturer will, and also cheaper than the official UK parts importer!!\n\nTry Texas Exports.  Or find the exact part number from the manufacturer and google it - this leads to loads of people who will export stuff to you at good prices.  I saved thousands of pounds doing this!\n\nDon't pay our rip-off UK prices.

I like the rsx but, i've heard the Evo is one fast *** car to go against.

From wikipedia.com:\n\nA supercharger (also known as a blower) is an air compressor used to compress air into the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. The additional mass of oxygen-containing air that is forced into the cylinders improves the volumetric efficiency of the engine which allows the engine to burn more fuel and makes it more powerful. A supercharger can be powered mechanically by belt-, gear- or chain-drive from the engine's crankshaft. It can also be powered by a gas turbine . When a centrifugal type compressor section is mated to a gas turbine drive it is then referred to as a turbo-supercharger, commonly called a turbocharger . Positive displacement Superchargers may absorb as much as a third of the total crankshaft power of the engine, and in many applications are less efficient than turbochargers. In applications where engine response and power is more important than any other consideration, such as top-fuel dragsters and vehicles used in tractor pulling competitions, positive displacement superchargers are extremely common.

Have you heard of AA Turbo Charge ..  Awesome site you might want to check it out been working for me

Turbochargers are a type of forced induction system. They compress the air flowing into the engine. The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added. Therefore, you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbocharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging. This can significantly improve the power-to-weight ratio for the engine. \nIn order to achieve this boost, the turbocharger uses the exhaust flow from the engine to spin a turbine, which in turn spins an air pump. The turbine in the turbocharger spins at speeds of up to 150,000 rotations per minute (rpm) -- that's about 30 times faster than most car engines can go. And since it is hooked up to the exhaust, the temperatures in the turbine are also very high.\n\ni sugest to you to read my source

mazda rx7 and a dodge charger. prices can vary

I got a Dodge Charger a few months ago, and haven't regretted it since. Get the Hemi, though - you want to be able to move if someone isn't paying attention and blows a stop sign, doesn't yield, etc. I love it. It took me a while to get used to, because it's a little bigger than what I was used to, but I highly recommend it. There are too many great features to list.

You can put some nice size tires on there, just make sure you have enough power to turn them over.

Cams can increase horsepower, flatten the band (torque), create a peaky band, lower or rais the peak (in RPM).\n\nWitht the many questions you have, the real answer is what works best....Most of them work in concert with each other.  Putting a big cam in without other mods will hurt performance...best this to do is set a goal for what you want the car to do and then work to acheive that with a smart package of parts, not just one.  If you don't have the money to do that, then get a better exhaust, then start upgrading the electronics (depending on the car), etc
