All audio stuff aside...if you have to drive it in the snow shouldn't you look for a front wheel drive car? A powerful rear wheel will just be all over the place...

while being a muscle car enthuist myself, and a 4by guy.... you do not want a rear wheel drive car in the snow, they will not go anywhere... plus you will just waste more gas in the snow.... front wheel drive cars are pretty good in the snow, i would know..... but 4x4's are most idea... but if you really want a muscle car then get one... and a Celica you say?

if you can get me a body kit to make a celica look like a camaro or trans am, im sold :) . Id be gettin chains or studs for the snow. As for power, I would have to spend alot more money than I dont have on something like a grand am or somthin to get it to go as fast as a trans am or am i wrong, im probably spendin 3200

Yeah I have another car to drive in the winter, so I don't mind have a RWD car. As far as gas mileage goes, i get about 15-16 mog.

hm you can get some pretty cool body kits for Celica's......chains and things like that are illegal here on tires....

ever think about buying an e30 BMW 3 series (1984-1991)? Maybe not the fastest cars but handle great!!! The faster ones are built after i think 87? They used a 168 hp motor after 87 i think...u could look it up if interested

i was gonna suggest an e30 or e36 as well, but they arent very roomy in the back seat. if anything i'd suggest a 5 series, but thats probably out of your price range. and a good condition, fairly low mileage e30/36 will cost at least 5-6k. and if you do drive in the snow, a front wheel drive is very helpful. i got my e36 stuck in my driveway while backing out of the garage last winter in the snow. i know that the mid 90's thunderbirds are pretty good cars for the snow, being a rear wheel drive car. my roomate had one in boston, and never had a problem and never used chains.

chains are legal here, studded tires are also an option, i actually think it will be fun drivin a trans am in the snow, I just need to get it under coated so it doesnt rust. Im look at 2 so far, one is white for 3200, and a black one for 5000.

talk about blasphemy! rice sucks, iron rules! punk! hey I like a tuned up supra just as much as the next guy, but a muscle car will ALWAYS have more personality. ALWAYS.

bmw also made a 325ix (all wheel drive) which was supposedly really good in the snow. my brother was gonna pick one up for like $3k but got a good deal on a 318i instead. or u could go classic and get a 70's bmw 2002 (model) :happy055: they suck in the snow tho. i have one and theyre not good. Fun, yes. but not pracical
