15k For HP Car?
I will have close to 15k for a car next year.
Any good ideas for a car with alot of horsepower, it has to be 4 door!

Are those your only requirements? Lots of HP and 4dr? What does lots of HP mean to you? What range?

Also, based on the age in your profile and your apparent HP desire... I'd spend $10k or less and put the rest away for insurance...

And this is why my insurance rates are through the roof.

If these are your only requirement, take the bus.

this guy has been trolling 3G section for the last 2 days saying he needs to make his TL fast, but ti turns out he doesn't even have a TL. So now he's looking for a fast 4 door car. help him out please guys, keep him occupied so he doesn't go back to 3G section.

get a g35 sedan, that's decent HP for your noob ass

I like owning the car.

I remember the 3G section was a good place at one point. But since the 3G is now a used car, all kinds of creatures can afford them.

Import, Domestic? FWD, RWD, AWD? Manual, Auto? And on and on. Also, and again... what's a lot of HP to YOU? 250? 300? 400? 500? Why do you want a lot of HP... track use, autocross, drag strip, impressing your friends? Plenty of criteria...

If you're just looking for tons of speed.... get a motorcycle.
