300HP 300M and GT Cruiser (PT Cruiser with 214HP) get the go for production. Sign me up for a GT Cruiser

 

[Soybomb]

You guys have to listen to me Haven't I mentioned Gt cruiser and turbo time and time again? hehe I still know more about the gt cruiser too like....it wont have a vacuum actuated wastegate most likely, and well....you'll see

 

[Wangel]

Not sure about this because the PT Cruiser is a truck, not a car. Check the VIN number.

 

[NFS4]

I've also mentioned it time and time again ever since the PT Cruiser was first announced...but this is official

 

[Viperoni]

*drool* (over 300m)

 

[MegalodoN]

I'll probably get flamed for this...but I think the PT Cruiser is just plain ugly! What are people smoking when they waste their money on this match-box car?

 

[NFS4]

Put your flame retardant suit on buddy!!!!!!!!!!

The PT Crusier is SWEET!!!!!!!!!! If you want hideous, go to the Pontiac dealership and look at an Aztek

 

[MegalodoN]

Haha, I definetly agree with you there...now...if you want a sweet car...go on over to the good old Chevy dealership and check out a Vette...Nice...

 

[NFS4]

Vette is ass too Has a fat, ugly rear end. The interior is cheap and plasticy for a $40k car. And it stole most of its styling cues from the 3rd Gen RX7.

 

[KingHam]

It bears a a striking resemblance to the car that you always see the Nazi's cruising around in on the History Channel. Daimler conspiracy?!?

[edit] I was talking about the PT Cruiser[/edit]

 

[Electric Amish]

Well. I guess I'll have to start saving up for that GT. 2002....

amish

 

[MegalodoN]

Ohhh, your're killing me NSF4....I can understand if you don't like some of the old vettes...but the C5 is probably the best sports car you can get for the money...IMHO

 

[NFS4]

For $40k, I'd get a quality car like an M3 or an Audi A6 Quattro. Hell, I'd rather spend the extra $10k and get a Boxster S.

If I'm spending $40k on a car, I don't want cheap interior materials and build quality that you find on a $16k Chevy Cavalier

 

[Viperoni]

<< For $40k, I'd get a quality car like an M3 >>


M3 for $40,000?

 

[MegalodoN]

Well, we all have our dreams...and a Vette is mine...and by-god, if it has a cheap interior, I'm gonna like it. The next time you see a big nerdy looking guy driving around in a Silver T-top Corvette with a big grin...think to yourself...MegalodoN finally did it...halleluiah

 

[geno]

Vette IS ass, if the rest of the car looked as good as the front end I'd be happier. But it just strikes me as an &quot;old guy's&quot; type of sports car...

 

[geno]

Oh yea, and that 300M??? =)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Very Very nice indeed

 

[brassmonkey7]

i like the 300M it's a sweet car, it has great take off and handles great too

 

[MegalodoN]

Well, the PT-crusier looks like a matchbox car....

The 300m...dunno..with that cheesy grill...can't figure out what to think of it...except it's ugly.

 

[Orbius]

Sadly NFS4 is right about the new Vette, unfortunately its using the new GM mentality of the more plastic the better. To me its not as desireable a car as the previous generation Vette. It doesnt have the muscular and taut look that the previous model had.

Also, from what I've heard its a very tight car brand new, but it starts to loosen up quite rapidly after purchase.

 

[geno]

If only Chevy could bring back the Stingray design and revamp it for the 21st century, well, that'd be sweet (if they did it right).

 

[MegalodoN]

Orbius..The previous generation Corvette was one of the most common looking cars of the entire line. There wasn't really anything &quot;catchy&quot; about it at all. The new vette looks much tougher than that last gen.

 

[MegalodoN]

genocide..

Oh hell yeah, now that would be bad ass. Those stingrays are sweet!

 

[Slap]

Mega,

They are ripping hard on the Vette. I believe when the new Vette body came out it had the lowest drag coefficent of any production car. As far as the interior being cheap, you don't get much cheaper than Crysler. The PT Cruiser looks like a turd after being constipated for three days. That thing is as ugly as sin. I do, however, like the 300M's style and power for a sedan.

These are the same people that rave about F1 so I guess they just need to leave the good ole USA and live where there cars are made and their races are held.

And all this coming from someone that drives a Camry with a gold package on it as well as new wheels and tires. If you are going to drive a Camry, leave it as a Camry and not a tricked out little sedan.

By the way, just kidding about the moving from the country part. To each his own!
