I dunno, 12k can get you a pretty nice twin turbo 300z with around 70k miles noadays.

And again, yes it would be possible for a civic with 12 grand to beat a 300z in lots of stuff. If you bought a nice clean 300z Twin turbo lets pretend it costs 12 so you have no money left. Now buy a beat up civic, mabye a slight wreck. Lets say it costs 4k. Supercharge it and cut every peice of the car off that you can, everything that is un- nessacary comes off , like doors etc. Get some lightweight rims and stuff and youd probobly be owning corvettes.
