Honda Civic - Toyota Starlet - Mazda 323

Honda Civic (1972-2021): The boss of my daycare center owned an '83/'87 model when I was little. This car is super cool to pimp out as a street racer, just like you see in the picture with Japanese street racer babes. Just remember that this car is over 30 years old. So even though it looks very modern compared to its age, you should preferably leave it alone. There are also several Honda Civics, both older and newer. So remember to leave the old ones in the garage and go out racing and picking up chicks with the latest ones.

Toyota Starlet (mk1-mk5 1973-1999): Here, I want to highlight the mk4 from 1991, which is also cool to turn into a street racer. But this one is also well over 20 years old today. When I was little, it was featured in Pony commercials for little girls and teenagers. There are also some older versions of these cars, but you should let them be.


Mazda 323 (1977-2003): I have written about this car in my blog for gearheads, but these cars are also suitable as street racers, although they are somewhere between almost 20 and over 40 years old today. Personally, I believe that the Mazda 323 was a truly modern street racer from the mk7 version in 1989. It was also featured in the norwegian NRK channel Season 3 of the TV series "Asylum" from 1997, where it ended up on its roof (I think it's difficult to stream this channel in America). Mazda also produced a really badass version called the GTR.

Porsche 911, Porsche 914 and Volkswagen Beetle RS Porsche

Bilde
(Here's a prototype from around 2020 of the old-school Beetle.) Volkswagen Beetle is often considered the first truly modern car. Hitler wanted a people's car, and he preferred it to be round and streamlined. The choice landed on Ferdinand Porsche's project, the Beetle. Despite being a major project of Nazi Germany and Hitler, who are responsible for the deaths of around 60 million people and a world in ruins, the Beetle became a real hit after the war. The Beetle was so popular that in the early 1970s, it became the world's best-selling car. Production continued only in South America after that, where it was produced and sold until 2003. In the rest of the West, it had a long hiatus of over 20 years, during which it was replaced by the Golf. However, in the 1990s, a new model called the New Beetle was introduced, first sold in the USA in 1996. It didn't arrive in Norway until 1998. But I remember the first one in Bærum sat for a long time at Bærum Bilutleie in Has...

Fiat Strada Renault Express/Renault Kangoo Volkswagen Caddy

Fiat Strada. This here rig comes in two flavors: the older models are tiny lil' pickups — real small, but scrappy. The newer ones, up to about five years old, are more like big ol' Isuzu Troopers or Toyota Hilux trucks — real workhorses, built tough for the long haul. You can trick these babies out real nice, slap on some chrome, lift the suspension, add a light bar — make ’em look mean and mighty fine. And get this: 'bout ten years back, Fiat went and bought out the whole dang Chrysler group. Yup, the whole enchilada. These days, a lotta their rides look a whole lot like Chryslers and Dodges. That goes for Lancia and Alfa Romeo too — all of ’em got a bit of that American muscle flair now. Renault Kangoo. This baby rolled onto the scene back in '99 — 'round the same time my old man got a real hankerin’ to buy one. It's still one slick-lookin’ box-on-wheels, and you can even get it in a tall-boy version with four-wheel drive for takin’ on dirt roads or muddy ...

Lada 1500 concept and Lada 1500 3G and 4G street cars

Bilde
Below, you’ll find a picture of the Lada 1500 concept along with a sporty version of the Lada 1500 above. Unfortunately, the concept car never made it into production. The Lada 1500 3G and 4G are more akin to classic cars than true modern street cars, as they are built on a Fiat model from the 1960s. Lada launched its last versions of these models in 1979 and 1982. By that time, Lada had already produced two versions of the Fiat 1500, based on models from the 1950s and 60s, earlier in the 1970s. In this link , you can see an awesome Lada 1500 3G with an engine from the Nissan Skyline . There’s a saying that Russians and people from former Soviet states often use: 'A Lada, it has a Porsche engine!' Supposedly, Porsche tried to modify the Lada 1500 by collaborating with Lada back in 1976 on the 2103 model . This collaboration fell through, but Porsche later entered into another partnership where they allegedly built a Lada Samara with an engine from the legendary Porsche 9...
