Default Car make? and model?

So I need some help from people that know what they are talking about (obviously you guys). Anywho, Im lookin for a car that I want to buy around mid summer and I'm not quite sure what would be the best to get. I was wondering if I could get your guys' opinion on which car you think would be best.

Im lookin to get a car that is at most 7,000. I want to get a car that looks either nice and sporty or something like a BMW that has some class, but I also want it to be fast. Also I would like to get a car that would be a good car to put money into to make it faster and have better suspension, etc etc.

What year, model, and make would you guys recommend?

theres no such thing as "best car" take a look around the forum and the pics that people have uploaded. Its all about the mix of looks, performance and quality / price that best suits you. For your price range, theres a lot of cars to be had maybe you could quantify what you are looking for most in a car ( speed, looks, 4drs, etc )

So I'm thinkin either a mustang around the year 99 or an Audi A4 around the same year. When I start spending money on upgrades and whatnot, which of the two will be cheaper and easier to supe up? And which holds the biggest potential for most hp?

I would lean towards a fox body mustang and use the rest for mods. Much better upside and a cheaper car to boot.

i believe A4s are the slowest cars ever made especially the 1.8t all the ricers rave about. Mustang will definitely go fast, in fact ive never even seen a fast or heard of a fast A4. for what you want and your price range the i would have to suggest a 2g turbo eclipse/talon or something with a potent v8. or take a hop on over to cali and you could get a very clean, very fast honda for that money.

What are you modding goals...drag, road racing, drift, rally, fast daily driver...etc. I would have to go with Scotts recommendation of a 1st Gen eclipse or subaru impreza. Subarus have huge potential. The US gets the watered down performance versions. Subaru makes a JDM motor that's pretty much race ready that a lot of rally drivers use in Europe. Meth, a high flow exhaust and a tune will net you 350whp. Do a search for Spec C or S203/S204 motors? Subarus are also extremely reliable. I know you like BMW's but remember with luxury cars come luxury prices for parts.

I only can say more of what everybody else said, Id your goals A mustang would make a good drag car but if your going to race road style tracks think again.
