    A slow car won't make you slow down.

    Ya I might. Id like something good on gas as well but also have enough room for a system or something.

    Then again i might want to ait to see if I even keep my liscense on this one cause my last ticket was 60 in a 30 at 1 AM with nobody on the road, and no posted limit. I was like wtf.

    Agreed. Take your foot out of the gas. or just give me the Z, I have a 78 Datsun pick 'em up truck...loaded Has wood bed, 4 speed....the best part is manual windows and 33x12.50's in the rear and no radio........sounds like a good deal to me.

    My Cobra had over 600hp and I never received any tickets in it.

    I concur with you needing to exercise more self control with your right foot.

    It will make me not be able to go fast. I dont speed for long ass periods of time. Its just for like 5 seconds or so. If I have something that wont get up as fast then I cant speed. Or wont want to speed once I realize that I cant or that there really is no speed involved. Just me speeding up at a very slow rate. Thats why i liked driving my truck because the thing got such shitty gas mileage that I drove on the highway at 45 MPH and went like half the speed limit everywhere else. Its just when i get into a little small car I always get the feeling to punch it and it ends up getting me in trouble. I can control it but i mean everybody speeds. If you say you dont then you must be lying because I know that during rush hour traffic in ATL everyone speeds. I just do it at the wrong time.

    I concur with that statement because i do. Im not trying to say it wasnt my fault or anything because I know for a fact that i have bad right foot and need to do something about. I just want something that will make me not want to speed.

    Get a Prius... I'd find it funny to see you try to speed in that.

    n/a diesel volvo or diesel mercedes. They both ran the 1/4 mile at 17secs+ .

    That being said, I"ve got my 92 volvo for sale.

    115hp/130tq. NA SOHC 4cyl in a 3200lb car. They suck pretty hard when they're not blown.
    My car is factory....



    Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.

    I am pretty sure that driving a car that does not have enough power to break the speed limit is not safe to drive. Get a moped or put a block under your gas pedal.

    If you like to go fast chances are you will do it in any car. Even if you buy a beater, you can go fast, it will just take a little longer to get going. But I am sure you can control how much you push the car, so keep the Z.

    I can but i know I will be able to if I find something slow/something big and heavy enough that i know if I do i will flip. Thats how i was with my truck. I took turns doing like 10 mph and went 45 on the highway. So I know I will be able to. I also want something with 4 seats and a 4 banger to get better MPG. Something 2 door also. Im thinking 240 but donno I want RWD but im also not building this car to be fast either so FWD is ok I guess. I just really want to keep this car stock. rims and tires and exhaust will probably be it. Then maybe some nice seats and sound system. Just a dependable dd then i guess save up my dough for a project car in the future.
