Need to choose a 4-door. Ideas? - Page 2

Chevrolet Impala looks nice.

I'm in the same situation but won't be doing it for another few months. Upgrading to the 13-14 BMW 550i hopefully if everything works out. Going for the 550 to stay in the 400HP range.

Does it have to have 300hp or more cause there are some great 4 door cars with just less than 300hp like the Kia optima turbo or the Honda accord V6 or Malibu with the turbo 4 as well and most can be had for that price brand new and basically fully loaded. Maybe a used Buick lacrosse or a Regal Gs used might be in price range.

You can find certified used under 32k on 2013 sho awd from what I see on autotrader. Private party would be better.

Damn dude you must be broad. I'm not a pole by any means but I was very comfortable.

2-4 yro SRT8 Charger.

HeavyIOM · 12-09-2013, 09:54 AM

My vote is for a SRT Charger, starting to see some used 392s in that price area not many but a few.

Silverlsinva · 12-09-2013, 11:38 AM

Id also throw in a Used Audi S4 since they are awd and very nice cars.

G8GT4now · 12-09-2013, 02:45 PM

How roomy do you need in the back seat area?

If you can get away with 33" or so of rear leg room, maybe a used Cadillac ATS with the 3.6L engine.

EDIT: nevermind, I see you now say 350 HP to 400 HP

G8 GT is a solid choice (and yes you can easily mod these cars)

dkp2LT · 12-09-2013, 08:56 PM

A couple mods to a Focus ST and you can get to 300hp for quite a bit less than$33k.

evilstevie · 12-09-2013, 09:02 PM

Dodge Ram Quad Cab.

Or an older CTS V. You should be able to hop into a 2007 V for under 20k.

I 100% agree the Optima turbo is a very nice choice as I like the look. I can mod it to get it at 300 hp. Same with the V6 Accord.

However, I would like something near 350-400 hp and the more back seat room, the better. MPG is less of a priority (famous last words

)

Based on replies:
STR8 - Just hits the 32k mark. But there are a ton of Chargers out there and the STR8 just looks a tad different.

G8 - Still a contender if I can tune it.
G37S - Before I drove the Camaro, I tried it out. Not a bad choice.
SHO - I saw a few 2011 SHOs. I like the interior but eh on the exterior. I'm also concerned about reliability.
CTS-V - Can't find one for 32k for that is less than 5 yrs old.

Silverlsinva · 12-11-2013, 04:29 PM

Then I would say a used audi S4 or Rs4 if you can find one for a decent price and not many miles cause they all have over 300hp dating back to when they have the V8 in the S4 cars. But I agree hard to find the CTS-V for that price in a ealier year. IF your worried about reliability is that just drivetrain wise or overall reliability in the SHO I believe a Member on here has a tuned and modded ford flex with the Ecoboost V6 and it does 12's in the 1/4 and I don't think he has said anything has went wrong with it.

Yea, now that is impressive. To get an ecoboost V6 and tune it..
Hennessey did it along with a cat-back and a tune and got 445 hp.

There are a handful of V6TT S4s in that price range. Very small V8 S4s with respectable miles.

I may do either a G8 GT, BMW 550, SRT8 or SHO now.
Having 400+ hp is very appealing!
