Alright Veeky Forums I have $16k to buy a car. I want to go as fast as possible.
My only criteria is it must be stock and able to pass emissions in CA.
Second is it must be reliable and able to withstand driving 300+ miles a week sometimes in stop and go traffic. What do I buy?

MIATA

Miata

Already owned a Miata. It was a slow as fuck $4k piece of shit.

buy a miata

Down payment on a wrx?

Evo or a subaru .

C5 Corvette?

16 individual Toyota Corollas

>I want the perfect car
me too op me too

Work truck Colorado for around 4k + Junkyard LS (pick your poison concerning cast iron or aluminum) + turbo + ancillaries.

Where was perfect implied? All I want is to go as fast as I can go with $16k reliably..

>stock and able to pass emissions in CA

Yep, C5 Corvette

Also, 986 Boxster S, maybe a 987 Boxster or Cayman

16 will get a sweet bike. Or half and half it, DD car and sanic bike. Actually, yeah. Do that. Get both.

Fast and reliable don't go together

And to add, you're in CA. Filter like a boss.

>As fast as possible
Are you retarded or something?

Will definitely look into these thank you.
I have some mechanical experience so even if minor things go I have the means to repair them. I just don't want something that will explode on me during my commute.

Yeah a C5 will be fine, but I'd recommend doing 2 things.

1: (REQUIRED) Make sure your car had the proper work done for the steering column locking issue. If not, get a bypass kit. This is very important.

2: (RECOMMENDED) The seats on a Vette get worn down quickly, getting new seats is a good idea.

sounds like you're a boring faggot that would be better suited to a civic.
