Get a motorcycle. You can get a 2-4 year old GSX-R 1000 that will almost do 9's in the quarter, better milage, cheaper tires, better performance in the turns, easier to negotiate traffic, lane splitting if you're in california, higher attrition rate if you're an idiot driver, you do not need a garage since you can park it in your apartment...

he said he wants a honda. Personally, i would get an old 93 teg, do a swap, leave it alone and invest the rest of it.

If you're going for speed find a crx in good condition and swap a b16 into it.
but if you're looking for some speed/luxury/looks the lude is the way to go

If you wanna go fast on a "tuner" car, three letters... D S M.

For 7 grand, you could find a awd dsm, spend the rest of the cash on mods, and be into the 12 easily, possibly mid 11's depending on your "smarts in cars".

Good research. How much smarts can you have at 14? I don't get it. And who is "giving" you so much money. Why don't you get a job
