Looking for cars with handling

Title says it all, I've ran into some money recently and I have about 40k to blow on cars. I love cars from the late 80's-early 90's.

If you had 40k what 90's cars would you buy that are road legal in burgerland? What I specifically want are examples of each drivetrain (FF, MR, FR, AWD) that had exceptional handling capability.
I'm looking at an Integra Type R for FWD, and a 90's turbo MR2 for MR, but I can't seem to think of many FR 90's cars that came with three pedals and exceptional handling.
Care to help an user out?

why not a c6? they are pretty decent
you can get a damn good one for 40k

I don't really want to spend all my money on one car, if I were doing that I would honestly get a barely-street legal racecar and kill myself or something.
Besides, if I was going to blow 40k on a car it'd be like an NSX or a MKIV Supra, possibly an older Z28 or Mach One.

supras were not known for handling though.

C6 vettes weren't known for their handling in the 90's.

DC2 Integra
Lotus Elise
FD RX-7
GC8 Impreza

yes they were...

>production started in 2005
Not really.

I'll look into those, though it's hard finding a 90's Elise for anything but half my budget.

Rx7 FC and impreza 2.5RS, the coupe one. Although ask yourself, do you want four cars, or one car that you can spend as much money as you want on?

I make 200k a year atm.
I have 40k set aside for personal use, 30k on top of that as "just in case" money.
That's just my car budget.

>supras were not known for handling though.
Of course they were. They're Japanese.

Supras are known for being pigs

Miata with sick mawdz.

But seriously go find a 99 NB spec miata car with a blown motor. It will already have immaculate suspension, weight reduction, and strength. Rebuild the 99 motor with forged internals and add boost.

Ta da, you now have a car able to beat just about anything to 60 from a light due to its gearing, as well as being able to stomp on anything in a corner, even at above 100 mph cornering speed (assuming this is spec miata chassis).

It won't be practical, or fun to drive for long periods of time without a water cooled racing suit, but it will be under 20k and an absolute riot anywhere you take it.

could i possibly do it with an NA miata?
i really like popup headlights.

Convert it to NA front end.

FWD suggestions:
Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Quad 442 (bonus points for rare W41 package, only 200 built for homologation reasons)
Oldsmobile Achieva SCX
Dodge Neon ACR
Dodge Neon R/T
Chevrolet Cavalier Z24
Pontiac Sunfire GT
Saturn SC2
All these cars did exceptionally well in SCCA Showroom stock racing.
also, the Honda Prelude/Accord Coupe

MR:
Pontiac Fiero (bonus points for 1988 model with the V6)
AW11 Toyota MR2
SW20 Toyota MR2

RWD:
Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (bonus points for 1LE package)
Pontiac Firebird. (Bonus points for their equivalent to the 1LE package)
C4 Chevrolet Corvette (bonus points for 1989+ model with the 6 speed manual)
Z32 Nissan 300ZX
SN95 Ford Mustang Cobra

question. IS it possible to convert an NB to the NA front end? I've always wondered about that.

Reasonable.
I like it.
I might just buy the last 6 FWD suggestions.

huh, never thought of that.

info on the mentions Oldsmobiles.

...

The front wheel drive cars you mention won a lot because comparatively they had a lot more power.

Peugeot 505s had the same story as they had more power than the S12 gazelles and 924s they were fighting.

might as well mention the

Civics
CRXs
Probe GTs
Nissan NXs
Sentra SE-Rs

on that fwd list

some of those cars are shit (SC2 Cavalier Sunfire)

F-Bodies handle like complete shit too

FD RX7, s-chassis
a r32 GTR would be my pick for AWD

>S chassis

those are terrible without thousands in modification

especially the RS13

Xantia Activa

You can fuck every cars listed above and after my post

Yeah but OP said he had decent budget

can you get those in burgerland?

OP here, I do have a decent budget but I already have plans to get a 180SX imported and a Sil80 conversion, not really interested in any other S-chassis.

>can you get those in burgerland?

not to drive around like a normal car

Nope you can't.
Even in France you can't, especially V6

aw, i really do like EU cars.
still jealous you got the best Focus RS and the Cosworth Sierra.

>These cars did well in showroom stock racing, so they have fairly good handling
>lol those cars are shit because shit.
fuck off weeb. Go masturbate onto a Civic or something. OP asked about handling, not quality.

>FR 90s car
DORITO

yeah and those cars handle like shit

benchracers who have never been behind the wheel shouldnt make claims bruh

Ive been in all 3 and theyre terrible

terrible quality does not translate to terrible handling.

BTW, your waifu a shit.

they dont even handle well

they dont do anything well except be commuters for poorfags

Those cars are so rare they might as well not exist.

No its not possile. i think fd bumpers will fit an nb though with a little bit of effort

t. underage benchracer

Those cars did well because they had more power and US circuits are power focused

youre dealing with benchracers here

they dont know anything other than looking at results
