What do you think about the bmw 645ci?
MAZ-DUH BABY...
What about the 335d that can make hp500+ and a tonne of tourqe
@@ericworthington7299 rx8?
@@techgencarsreview8402 from the list, Mazda speed 3, but the Miata is my choice & i currently own a NA, my 1st one...
We have different ideas on what we call "cheap," sadly.
yeah, it’s pretty obvious he grew up with money, first car, 7500 considered cheap?? lol i honestly thought he was trolling 7500 by any means is a cheap car, cheap is like a car 2 grand or less even that isn’t really cheap these days with all this shit going on.
Exactly 1-3 grand I would consider but anymore than that is not cheap, especially for a side car since it’s something you will be working on a lot
Yea for me max would be 5k but that is still a lot for a first car
@@J.Gainez these might not be for first car mabye like projects cars but i get what your saying
@@J.Gainez your average new truck is about $60,000. So yes $7,500 is very cheap. Not to mention that's the average going rate for a mint condition car that's roughly 10 to 20 years old.
The 4th gen firebird isn't ugly at all, he just picked the ugliest examples to show you.
ong i agree, but the 4th gen camaro is lmao
Naw hes right 90s muscle cars are ugly IMO. But modern muscle is much better (c7,gt350,hellcat)
Yes
American 90s car are the ugliest cars out there ngl
I mean it’s not bad at all when it’s customized cause a stock 4th gen Camaro is ugly asf tbh
the 335i was a great sleeper for a long time. had a e90 sedan making over 500hp with bolt on's and a tune. it ran M3's. nobody seemed to realize the car came stock with twin turbos.
Stock with twins?!??!?!?!????
@@nihaalspeaks not as good as you may think but yes stock twins
@@t.j.a.yedits6094 yeah of course stock turbos on an older car aren’t gonna be great, it’s just a thing u can say to people and they’ll get exited
No way
What pisses me off the most is that he didn’t even mention that burgermotor sport makes a 500 hp kit for 1500$ !!!! Don’t get me wrong, these 335i will run deep in your pocket but so is any car capable of making almost 3 times the factory power on stock internals !
I actually love the look of the firebird, hurt me quite a bit to call it ugly
same
I know the WS6 was a beautiful car
Me to😭
I agree
Ikr
“Double clutching like you should” love the fast&furious reference
hahhaa yeeee! glad you caught that!
Stop granny shifting and double clutching like you should
clutch is just played out. two of the same cars one auto one stick auto wins everytime. videos on here to prove. 2 c7 zr1 race auto beat him every time. humans just cant shift as fast as computers.
@@bigsean2473 new cars yeah, but older cars, even from the 90's, shifting with a manual is faster than auto.
You drive stick for the experience, not for speed. Automatic drivers wouldn’t understand.
Stop talking about 335i...the prices are starting to go up!!!
whats a 335i?! hehe
To late I’m afraid
I got mine already, it just breaks a lot
@@boosted_burt2123 yeah, but some of us haven’t, so keep quiet about it lol)
@fastboater no problem
2:07 Lexus IS300/IS250 was also in need for Speed just like Nissian 350z
yeeeee lets gooo!
:Ddd
It was Taz’s car right?
I owned a 2005 SRT4, bought it brand new. Best front wheel rubber burner I ever owned, I had it over 265 kms/hour - stock directional tires. I would have liked a speed limit delete and one more gear, easily would have made 300. Some local guys tuned their's up to over 400hp at the tires. If you're looking for a quarter mile car, track car or even drag car, look no further, it has all been done using an SRT4.
I bought a 2009 e90 335i in October and i love it, so far its got dci, chargpipe and bov, muffler delete, and mhd stage 2. Definitely worth it you just have to make sure you do maintenance before performance
Nice, since its 9 months later... How is the car now? You still recomend one? I currently drive a Speed6 and am looking to upgrade to a 335i.
You should really be running a intercooler with a stage 2
Also downpipes.
Has your car fucked out yet lol it’s been a year on stage 2 so surely it’s destroyed by now
@@comm04bangr98 stage 2 won’t destroy your car with the right mods fam.
I personally love the look of the 98-02 trans am ws6
And yall definitely missed one. Yall got "oh so close".... but....this list needs the MAZDASPEED 6. AWD, 6-speed manual (only transmission available) and HUGE aftermarket support. And the only Mazda 6 that was imported from Japan & not built in Texas
mazdaspeed3 is on there tho... kinda the same zoom zoom?
but yessss the mazda 6 is awesome!
I live in texas so I might get a chance on one of these
I was yelling at the screen...”SPEED 6, SPEED 6!!!” Love the video either way!!!
The 6 was something... a true sleeper
the 3, although fwd, has less reliability issues than the 6
Now I personally love the look of the 4th gen firebirds. In fact so much that I bought one and im not even joking I have a mullet😂
I like them too
Well, then there's only one thing to say...
*Thank you for being the hero that I need right now...*
The firebird trans am is ugly tho? Naw fam, its muscle and aggressive looks make it one of a kind.
damn right its one of the best looking cars on this list. but he seems to be an impot guy so blame him lol. id get a 2002 trans am all day 345hp from factory. add a cam and you into the 400hp range.
@@bigsean2473 yeah he likes euro cars a lot, but idc i still love the firebirds looks
Yeah, I was a little confused. I think the 02 WS6 Ram Air is beautiful. Never heard anyone referrer to it as ugly… but I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.
@@joshuavinson7343 exactly what I said, if I can find one at a decent price I would buy it with no hesitation.
@@kingleosgarage I had a 97 cayenne red TA, but there is just something about that slight body change from 98-02 that I like a lot more.
I’ve been through most of these cars and others. The best bang for the buck driving experience is an E90 335D. The M57 is reliable once tuned/deleted and can be a monster. Take my word for this. Like I said, I’ve tried them all and this is the best balance.
I know this is gonna sound completely outta left field BUT the 04-05 Lincoln LS V8 is a bonafide luxury badass that you can find for 4k or less. It has a nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution, rear wheel drive, a Jaguar S type V8 under the hood, and it slaps up BMW 5 series in the slalom with ease. Strap on a super charger and you're knocking on 500hp door easy. I bought mine for 2k and I absolutely love it
I have had a 08 G35 for 10yrs and still love driving it! I've changed my oil every time and recently changed transmission fluid and 1 seized caliper a few years back all done myself. That's it! This car has lasted long and still drives HARD.
Yeah id love to find one!
I had a 2003 is300, It was slow and tiny inside. But I did have a manual one. The shift knob did get boiling hot on sunny days. I had a 2002 sentra SE-R spec -v also it was a fun car. I have had 2 e36 bmw coupes and now daily an e46 coupe. All manuals.
I like how halfway through the IS300 segment I get an Acura ad.
i’m glad the is300 was mentioned my dad just bought me one a few months ago for 6,000 with 70k miles and it’s so fun to drive
I own 2 of the cars on this list. Of the 6 vehicles I own, my 02 WS6 is the one that gets the most compliments on how good it looks.
The Firebird and Camero are the two cars that repelled me from American sports cars growing up. Their Japanese counterparts were night and day.
Had a SRT4 first year of production . Took off the cats and put a bigger turbo and a 100 shot of nos. Still have it and it was killing vettes for years . 433 hp but I can carry it under my arm. I haven't tried a new mid engine vette,but I might loose,but I guarantee that he /she will have to earn it. I always thought that they were pretty cool for an American front wheel drive .
Yeah, DEF a really great car coming from the American makers! Though i think id still take a mazdaspeed3 or turbo GTI over one but then again i havent been in one yet to see what they drive and accelerate like..
2008 Nissan Sentra ser spec v owner !
This video gave me BUTTERFLIES !
I’ve been wanting to make my car a sleeper for a hot minute now ! So stoked 😁
The infamous power plant of Honda B and K series engine. Actually cheap and actually unlimited in tuning ability
The real question is...
*_when is brad gonna get a GT3?_*
An 00-02 viggen would smack some of these cars stock for stock and have amazing tuning potential also only came in manual also had hatch or vert styles
The is300 doesn't have a 2zj. It has a 2jg. The major diferance is the heads and valvetrain. The 2jz has a single cam, the 2jg has twin cam . this causes more internal resistance and slows the rpm advancement speed rate
Love this list! I have a Trans Am and just bought an SRT4 a couple months ago
0:17 smoothest line in the history of mankind
I loved those Firebirds!! I've never heard anyone call them ugly until this video. You are trippin!!
Missed that 2003 MAZDASPEED FAMILIA/PROTEGE. I picked one up 4 years ago and been moding ever since.
I have a stock 2013 335IS black on black convertible with 46k miles, drives like a dream.
The MS3 is a fun car. I test drive one a few years ago. It was my first time in a tc car. Once the boost kicked in it was addicting asf. I then realized I was in the triple digits and once I realized, I passed a cop. Luckily he/she was inside shopping
Nice. Adrenaline rush I bet
Yesh i just missed a nice ine with a bunch if upgrades, and all the stock stuff with it too.. $4500 it sold for!
Hoping to find another just under $5k asap!
Well I have 2 of these g35 and 335xi e92, they are pretty awesome 👌
I have a 2008 dodge caliber srt4 and I love it. Intake, downpipe and 93 octane tune. Its rare and plenty fast for me. Stock they come with 285 hp. Sad it didnt make this list😢 but awesome video. Gotta get me one of those tees😊
Typically sponsorships make me roll my eyes and skip a minute but im definitely getting on this one Thanks Ideal Media i have been looking for something like thos for a long time
If you see this God bless❤❤
I recommended a professional broker to you guys sometime ago, can I get persons who invested with him comments below let's gooooooo
Hey wes, I did invested with him I made huge profits thanks for recommending him
Who made profits for you,am really looking for a pro who can manage my account and make me huge profits
I saw the recommendation but I didn't bother chatting him up🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Wow I'm glad I did withdrew my first profit two days ago now I have another ongoing trade with him
The is300 doesn’t have a 2jz gte it’s not really a really 2jz and real power typically comes from a 1jz swap. Just a good thing to note lol
It's still good though right? I was thinking about that one
I have a gen 2 speed 3 and it surprises many people. And with FBO it’s pretty damn quick.
09 to 10 narrowbody wrx. 265 hp with the STI turbo and awd, but it looks like a base model Impreza and has huge aftermarket support. perfect sleeper.
The 335i was my favorit of this list. Actually did get one for myself after watching this and so far I love it.
how is it?
@@andydiaz3125 still love it. However not using it much now as it's winter. Went full stage two on it , drinks shit ton of more fuel now but so worth it ( might be the driving style getting more agressive with the power increase). Not encountered any flaws so far Would recomend anyone asking me if they should get one as a fun project to do so as all japanes straight 6 twinturbos are way to expensive at this moment.
@@SumerSraih update as its been a year lol. Also how much hp are you pushing
@@kippkewish9626 i still have the car and still love it. In the year and a halv that I’ve had it it’s just been amazing! However I won’t lie, had some missfires last summer but all sorted now. Currently waiting on new det of d2 sport coilovers with garder springs in the back for some more balance in the steering ( currently has original dampners and there for understears a bit). Still runing only catless downpipes and 7,5” intercooler on MHD stage 2 +. Havent benched it but acorsing to MHDs web site should be runing anywhere beween 400-420 hk. Next mod Will be Eather going with 17t china turbos or simply leave it as it is and go for singelturbo in a year or so as it is a huge investment, havent made my mind up yet.
Overall super happy with the car and no regrets
The is300 was such a cool car. They really cut the nuts out of it in the second generation.
I like your presentation style. Fun and informative. Perfect!
We need more people on the ideal fam like his content is great 😵💯💥
E36: Why keep the i6? Pull that motor out, and shove a turbocharged V8 under the hood. Yes, it can and should be done.
I found a srt-4 in mexico and it was stock
I'm the luckiest man alive
ayyyy and it's a ton of fun to rip it! what color?
Red and it's an american import
Too bad you have to live in Mexico! Just kidding...I’m there every other year (from Canada). I love it down there. But if there... I’d but one of those VW Golf mini pickups.
Side note: It was riddled with chlamydia
How long did it take you to get American plates or do u live in mexico
These cars rock...You kick on the mods and you can build a monster, keep rockin!
My boy had the top of the line firebird back in 02 and that joint was scary fast💯
10:58 lol yea C36 totally not C63
hehe nice catch
And the correct answer is ... E92 all day long. It was, perhaps, the pinnacle of the 3-series design. With graceful lines, a perfect inline six and a spectacular interior that one could drive for endless hours. I do love that Mazdaspeed 3, however I love the Mazdaspeed 6 more. And (I may be wrong) I believe it was available as a 6-speed manual. Now that’s an affordable sleeper! Thanks Brad for another excellent video.
And the ultimate sleeper would be (and again, I may be wrong) ... the Mazdaspeed 6 station wagon!
Yep speed 6 is way better
I subscribe to you not really knowing why, and I'm really happy that i did.. Thanks for always keeping me updated! Love your videos!!
Good thing I got my is300 before prices started rising! Snagged mine up with $1200! With work to be done but now it’s boosted lol
Love your perspective. Don’t forget the W211 E55! Nearly 500HP n even more torque
469 hp
518 tq
A supercharged Beast.
Those easily reach 20k for a nice one tho. Def worth it tho
Had a speed3! Amazing car!! Wow! But you forgot about it bigger awd brother, the speed6
Is fwd?
Just bought 335i 3 hours ago.....love it
My cousin bought a G35 for 100 dollars and he has rebuilt it to be a drift car and he also uses it as his daily driver and it has been super reliable really recommend it
You right about the 335i. I love mine but as soon as I hit full bolt on with e85 my turbos decided they had enough so now I’m gonna have to throw another 4 grand into the car 🤠. Still worth it
Yes sir.
Bro get eBay turbos, running them on mine
@@boosted_burt2123 how much power can yours handle? And no problems?
@@lanceh6117 well I have a meth kit and stuff to run e86 on the way so 600 wheel will be a pretty easy number to get
@@boosted_burt2123 sounds good I’ll look into it thanks
E92 easy choice for me!! The Speed 3 if it was AWD would've been insane!
Me too
I'm not selling mine.
my first car is the 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V and jesus dude I love seeing my car on videos like these. Its literally a sleeper! Yes 600hp isnt really A LOT but take into account this car is only 2,400 pounds and you feel the torque pretty good even stock. Also this website I found has everything sentra. Its 2J Racing. They have exhausts, a 3K Turbo Kit specifically for the 02-03 spec v’s and just everything you need. Love the videos man and thanks for throwing some attention to my baby 😂
Love my g35, got it for 5300 bucks 102k miles in may

Love your videos watch them all the time
My buddy has a WS6 TransAm Firebird with the giant hood scoops, it was white and I painted black racing stripes on it for him, unfortunately the dumbass wrecked it 2 months after I painted the racing stripes on it for him. The only good thing that came out of him wrecking it was he ended up getting a 2010 Camaro to replace it and modded the hell out of it with a CAM, better brakes, carbon fiber hood with ram air hood scoop that lined up with his air intake, a flush rear spoiler that's not like a wing, headers, a sick exhaust a ZR1 front end, some sick black rims and more. I did virtually all the work on it for him except for the CAM.
You lost me when you said the is300 is a sleeper. I love the IS300, it’s the next car I’ve got my eye on. But they’ll put you to sleep before it surprises anyone. 😂
Tunablity is what the list is about. The 2J all versions are great tuning platforms if you have the money
Look I have a 2004 is300 and there honestly my favorite jdm 4door platform but, there are some cons: like how a manual is upwards of 10,000(there easy to swap tho) and how the 2jz he vvti cannot hold more than 10lbs of boost
@@reececarpenter7426 exactly, a manual is so rare and yes low boost. I wanted to get one and put an LS in it lol...
Has to be the BMW e92
Im a fan of the 335i, but the 5 series is more my speed. I have a 2010 535i M-Sport and love it. Same N54 as the 335i, so the mods are available, and the power can be added for a bargain, $1500 bux and you can surpass 400whp, $2000 and your even further along..
Those 3 series are awesome and the set neon is pretty awesome to
Has the definition of "supercar" changed recently?
I don't think this list is totally accurate. You guys don't take into account a lot of factors. For example, yes you can find a cheap BMW, but they are money pits lol
It’s all clickbait
@@Sinkingship01 I mean I know, but now that I think about it, the car on the thumbnail is not even on the list lol
The only BMW that is not a money pit is the one that has an N52 engine on it, comes in 2.0, 2.5, and 3 liter petrol on those E90 models from 2008 and also the M50 engine model from the 90's.
If your a mechanic and do your own stuff it ain’t bad but if you take it to the dealership then yes I totally agree
Thanks for the love at 4:04!!!
My new car search list just changed my boy thank you
A year ago I saw 335i’s for 6 grand. Good ones. Now all the good ones are 10 plus even with 100k plus miles.
Yeah, I really regret I bought an effin b8 s4 a year ago thinking of it as “more reliable” alternative to e90 335i. Had a dsg problem and the engine hydro locked due to supercharger intercooler leak. I thought that it is more expensive initially but less to maintain later. WRONG.

I'm 14 years old planning to buy a 1995 Civic
They're probably behind all the slow cars mentioned in this video..
@@shadows555555 Why does everyone gotta hate on Honda? They literally started the car scene. I used to make fun of Honda when I started getting into cars as well, and then I bought one. If you don't respect Honda's I just don't see how you can be a true car guy
A 4 year old can afford a new one. And you need to mortgage your house to have an unreliable fast car.
@@tygerknight195 I'm 52, fucking reality check . Lol, Honda did not start the car scene. The giant useless hilarious looking rear wing scene ,with 50 hp and a bong muffler with fake scorched tip scene . Wake up buddy

I own an Altezza, It's like the IS300 but with the 3SGE Engine.
The g35 is n/a so you have to buy a expensive turbo to get some power
As you would for most of the cars in this list of “sleepers”
@Thor Odin son yeah 400hp is not that much and you don't get a lot of torque

I've owned a g35, now a g37s, and absolutely love both. However both require much more than 1500 to make 500hp. I'm at 320whp in my g37 with full bolt ons and tuned, which is over 1500 just in that. Can easily achieve it with boost, however that is well over the 1500 dollars for these cars.
