Re: What cars other than the Camaro, Mustang, and Civic have the best aftermarket sup

Nissan to some extent...

The worst would probably be anything Toyota since there is no aftermarket unless TRD is involved directly.

SRT-4 is also showing some life..

Re: What cars other than the Camaro, Mustang, and Civic have the best aftermarket support

The Nissan V6 is getting popular since it appears to be a great engine and its in the 350Z, G35, Murano, FX, Altima and the upcoming 2006 M35 (v8 version is M45).

I think that the Subaru WRX, Mitsu Evo & previous generation AWD Eclipse, and the new Mini Cooper all have really good aftermarket support.

I also think the turbo PT Cruiser/Neon SRT-4 are doing pretty good as well since they both use virtually the same engine.

The Grand Prix GTP and all the supercharged 3.8 cars have a huge aftermarket . The faster GTP guys are moving on and ditching the factory blower with turbochargers . Even the N/A 3.8 has a pretty sizable aftermarket more so centered around the grand prix when it comes to model specific parts .

I think that's fair to say that any turbo/supercharged car can be said to have better "aftermarket." Even European turbodiesels are getting lots of uprated power options. The fastest Mercedes C-class "Sport Coupes" (stop laughing) have modified 5-cylinder turbodiesels direct from AMG. There's even a racing series for small turbo-diesel cars. Wierd.

The whole point is that you can void the warranty on your new turbo whatever and get alot more power for a few bucks.

True, but I was referring to new cars or ones built within the last 3 years or so, but you got to love classic Chevy's.
