mystic511 · 12-15-2003, 01:06 AM

Hey guys, about a month and a half back, I posted a thread asking you your opinions on what you think were the top ten cars worth modifying. With your feedback, I created the Top Ten Tuner Cars for College Students list.

Read it here

Please be sure to check out the rest of the magazine at http://www.virtuallyinfamous.com

Thanks for all your input, I hope you enjoy it!

Nice job Mystic511 I'm glad you didn't forget the Camaro/Trans Am import killing machines........ but what happened to the Mustang? I'm not a Ford man myself but there's no other American car that comes close to whipping my SS other than a warmed over Mustang.

Not that it has ever happened...... but hopped up Mustangs always give me a good run

what? no Dodge Viper? i know that's MY poor college student's tuner of choice

lol

good job, though i agree that the Mustang, while not a Ford man either, should not be forgotten

Nice job. I think you covered all the bases pretty well.

Cynthetiq · 12-15-2003, 08:00 AM

nice read... seems well balanced

mystic511 · 12-15-2003, 03:39 PM

Haha, thanks for the feedback guys. Well, the article is slightly biased, as I only chose cars that I would buy. Not saying I wouldn't rock a mustang if I just happened to cross one really cheap, but it's not something I would actively look for.

I knew that would irk some people when I left it out, but I tried to pick one car from each company that I thought deserved a spot. The focus just seemed more proper for the "college student".

There are other cars that I'm sure people think deserve a spot, like honda civics, but again, I tried to pick one car from each manufacturer. Most fast civics use integra engines anyway. Heh.

Thanks for your feedback, and thanks again for your input. I couldn't have written the article without your help.

That is definitely an informative page. Good work!

shakran · 12-24-2003, 08:07 AM

you might wanna edit the miata section - the part were you say it can beat every car on the track. Specify autocross track, 'cause there is no WAY it's gonna beat those 4 vipers on the road course it's on in the pic

Mill · 12-24-2003, 03:17 PM

Get that Focus out of there. Except for the supercharger (which runs very low boost), the only mods college students make to them are altezza's, projection lights, and bling bling rims that weigh a ton.

Don't get me wrong, I like the SVT Focus, just wouldn't recomended it for tuning.

inphaseneverb4 · 12-28-2003, 04:46 PM

very informative. good job.

WannabeTFP · 12-28-2003, 05:02 PM

I don't know, adding 50-100hp in a car that doesn't have the suspension, brakes, or transmission to handle it always seems like you're playing with major fire. Gimme those Vipers any day.

Rx-7's are sweet cars to play w/....gotta love those wankel engines

Integra, GTI, WRX. All excellent choices. A student who lives next door has a sweet modded GTI
