Are you on crack?

😕

compared to an RX-8 i'm pretty sure its not fun to drive

Everyone is still on crack.

3-400 LBs lighter and RWD vs AWD and a 9K redline

is not fun to drive :roll:

You have no idea what you're TORQUEing about.

i knew you would say something along those lines

but they are completely different cars

for spirited driving I would take an RX-8 anyday because I don't find running 1/4 miles over and over again "fun"

the RX-8 if fun for the same reason the mini cooper S is fun (even though the S is FWD)

I've driven both. I'll take the Scoob any day.

Some of us encounter this thing called weather from time to time.😉

The GT is awsome in the rain with the AWD. I could never, ever drive like I do now in the other cars (FWD or RWD) I have owned.

I'd also suggest an Audi S4 but I don't know how much time he likes his car to spend in the dealer's service dept.

How bad is the S4 with reliability? I like the car and was considering it... but it's kind of a pig (weight wise) and honestly I like something I can flick around a bit. Power isn't the greatest thing for me, but compared to the RX-8 anything in POWER is an improvement. Handling in the RX-8 is great, it flicks around really great... I just need something more 'mature' 🙂 Oh, and with better gas mileage!

The Audis in general tend to have more problems than most (from reading and personal experience).

No comments on the Mustang? The only thing I hate about Mustangs is their live axle rear suspension. Other than that, they're great cars.

Don't know anything about cars but I know you can afford a Saleen Mustang. The Extreme edition is 50k+ but I think the other two versions are in your price range. Of course, you can't fit more than two people in it.

Used Boxster S, S4, M3, Corvette or MB SLK?

if you don't mind a 2-seater, get a used NSX with low milage. It's nearly exotic.

I can't drive that every day though 🙂

I am leaning heavily towards the M3 because it's the blend of what I want... good handling, good looks (sleeper at a glance), good power, 'okay' gas mileage, stickshift, and seats four comfortably. The other option is an Audi S4, or the Boxster S. I will do more homework as I still have quite a ways before I'm getting anything. 🙂

why not? In term of ride quality, i don't think it's any less civilized than a M3. The engine is just a 3.0 V6 and it's light weight so gas milage shouldn't be too bad. Maintanence cost should be at least on par with European cars.

I may be wrong coz i don't own any of those cars. I'm working toward a STi which you think is too boy-racer, but i just think of it as a rally car for the mass and i love rally racing.
