Default Whats the cheapest car to mod (RWD)

Im looking for the cheapest car to mod as in "go fast mods" as in "quickest quater mile mods". I also want it to be RWD. I was thinking a 03-04 cobra. what do u guys think. the 350z would be nice but it cost to much to mod and does not respond that well to mods.

cheapest? probably a fox body 5.0. the two you listed aren't really too comparable. i'd go with the cobra any day.

If thats an option?

The same could be said of a similar Camaro or Firebird. Basically anything with a small block - you could build an entire engine from aftermarket parts if you felt like it!

True! 350 parts are everywhere. Just seems like as far as suspension and body the fox body seems to have a better aftermarket. I might be wrong though

you can easily run 10's in a cobra ...

i knew someone that had a cobra and had like 2g's into and it had 600 whp (intake, exhaust, pulley, tune and drag radials) ... then he added a 150 shot of nitrous & he had over 700 tq

needless to say, his car was insane

Factor in the pricetag of it though...


Cheap and fast RWD car is the foxbody. Pick one up dirt cheap.. throw 2k in mods.. And you are booking it.

well the OP said he was thinking of an 03-04 cobra or a 350z so it doesn't seem as though money's a factor ...

for 25-30,000 bucks, you can't beat the performance of an 03-04 cobra ...

it has to be one of the most mod-friendly cars out there

plus, an 03-04 cobra looks 849842393 million times better than a fox body 5.0

I'm curious what would happen with the 2.0 turbo Solstice in the right hands, they were like high 20's new last time I checked.

I duno your budget, but I have seen some nice GTO's and C6's with turbo kits
I doubt it is THE cheapest route, but they move along.
C6's are pretty cheap for what they are, running low 12's at like 116 stock, and can be had for just over 30k used now.
