Old member new car suggestions

Hey guys I sold my fully bolted e47 kmo43 tuned car in August and holy **** am I missing it. It have a new Jeep Wrangler but I am missing the speed factor. I am looking at getting a new car to build but am wondering what to get.
Subaru wrx
Camaro ss
Chevy ss
Scat pack charger
Any other suggestions?

I want a fun daily driver that I can tastefully mod.

Help me out guys

Honestly the new v6 Camaro sounds insane the reviews of it with the 1LE package are great.

I am thinking more of a sedan but then it doesn't matter much. I have a baby on the way but my wife has a Wrangler so that can be the family car

you're all over the place with your candidates... what are you looking for? You have AWD, FWD, RWD and different size engines, sedan vs coupe, etc. in that basic list. I would narrow down to what exactly you are looking for and go from there. Seems to me you just want something fast, but not too expensive.

BTW I almost bought a new WRX a month ago. I had a deposit on it and went to go pick it up but didn't pull the trigger last minute. I was turned off by the shitty ride quality at low speeds. and interior was cheap... gearbox wasn't that smooth. Plus it won't be faster then your FBO cobalt on e47... would prob need a turbo upgrade at that point. Just my opinion. Look into the new GTIs... they are really nice and make great power with a tune and basic bolt ons.

I really like the new chargers. Camaro is nice too but I don't like the 2 door and windshield is narrow as ****. drove me nuts lol

Haha I am looking for a fun confortable car that I can build enough to fix my urge for speed that I had with the cobalt. I don't car whether is rwd awd or fwd. something that basic bolt ons and a tune will make fast.

Don't buy a WRX if you want to build it, their transmissions are just as bad as ours. Get an STi and if you're going to build it buy the last generation not the current one. Just know you'll be building an engine and turbo swapping to get good power. Also the gearing is short so depending on what you want it could be a bad fit.

Why buy new if you're going to build?

B8 S4 would be a fun car that would ride nice and with an intake you could probably get a good whine from it

Id definitely look into the new charger scat pack. that this is bad ass and puts out some power. Just wish it wasn't as heavy as it is. and its 4 door.

if you buy a WRX, keep it stock or very lightly mod it. Do oil changes every 3000 to 4000 with quality oil. get a quality tune from a quality tuner.

Too hard to keep anything stock 🤣. Then I guess I have to choose if I want a rs, scat pack, or Jeep srt

chevy ss is a great car an you have a bullet proof LS motor so thats always an advantage.

Charger scat pak my dad and i test drove one, he bought it then took it back because it didnt ride as nice as the srt models. fast and fun but wont respond to mods like the chevy ss would.

VW gti or R are both great cars. APR took their golf r did an intake, dp and a tune and ran 11s at the track with it.

WRX =

Also dont forget the new type r that is coming out as well

Cherokees are sick as hell but def wont be faster then your FBO E47 tune cobalt lol
