What car do you want to get next?

[StageLeft]

MR2 Turbo! Mid engine, way more power, less common than Miatas, and 3s/5s parts are dime a dozen.

Actually looks very nice, those wheels make everything about it.

Wheels, aftermarket rocker skirts done right (blended in with the body with filler before painting), and the "shopping cart bumper" body molding removed and filled ("shaved"). Quite a bit done to it but it's one of the best looking MR2s I've ever seen.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I'm thinking I will buy an E46 M3 or Porsche 996 this year as a weekend/track car.

 

[AdamK47]

I don't really want to get anything. I'd rather modify what I have.

 

[TehMac]

I am putting on new shocks on the 99 Stang. They're Konis which will be a very nice improvement. I know I am definitely putting koni shocks on the front, but Idk if I want to spend more money to put them on the rear as well.


I think the 2014 Mustang will be something very...interesting...

 

[MotF Bane]

A G35 is RWD too i thought.

As someone said, x means AWD, plus a G35 has 75-100 less HP and 150 less ft-lbs than a GTO.

 

[TehMac]

infinits blow.

 

[MotF Bane]

I drove my dad's Miata ('03, I think)..it's pleasant to drive, but after my MR2 the lack of power was quite evident.

My cousin has a Miata (2nd gen), and her only complaint is a lack of power.

I don't really want to get anything. I'd rather modify what I have.

Fancy that.

 

[MotF Bane]

infinits blow.

How so?

 

[TehMac]

How so?

Well, everyone I know who has an infinit is an ass, so take it with a grain of a salt. But in my view, they're heavy, slovenly, and lackluster.

This is in fact what stopped me from even thinking about a 3 series. A lot of my friends , in fact several asian females who cant drive who have gotten in accidents in their E92s..., and my own mother have them.

HOw can a car that my mother has be cool, it cant!

That's ridiculous. If your mom were to drive and Enzo or Carrera GT, those cars would no longer be a cool? You're nuts.

 

[DivideBYZero]

E60 m5

 

[razor2025]

Working on a deal to get a 08 WRX....

and a 00 RS to be swapped.....

 

[zoiks]

I already have a black 2008 G37 coupe with all the options save for the wood trim. I use it as a weekend car. I have a 240sx 1990 that is getting a bit older which I use to drive to/from the train station every day.
What I really also want is a Saab 9-2x Aero wagon 2005-2006 that would be my everyday car that I can go fishing in and also carry my kayak.
Been looking for one under 10k but only found automatics. I want a manual 5-speed.

 

[DarkThinker]

Practically speaking? I already have what I want (07 CTS) and I hope to keep it for a decade if I can.


But what I would love to buy...



If business goes very well in this year and the next, I want to buy an E21 mod the hell out of it and take it to whatever nearby races I can get it in to.

I have always wanted to race in an E21 since I was a kid and I might just do that

 

[Andrew1990]

Either a 2002 Pontiac Firebird with an LS1 in it or a 3000GT.

Both cars I would probably kill myself in but it would be a fun ride.



I figure both of those cars go for under $8000 for one in decent condition.

 

[EightySix Four]

Turbo Scion TC, preferably with a swapped motor and salvage title.

 

[Cobalt]

After I graduate college I want to trade in my Genesis Coupe for an E92 M3. Going to definitely be the last of NA M cars, the end of an era.

 

[RichieZ]

997 gt3?

 

[DivideBYZero]

997 gt3?

Ooh, good choice.

 

[PhoKingGuy]

Turbo Scion TC, preferably with a swapped motor and salvage title.

Golf clap

When my current car dies I'll probably replace it with a Mazda3. The Speed3 is tempting, but having to pay more for gas & insurance is not. The turbocharged engine can't be good for reliability either. I'd love to get either a GTI or a TDI Jetta, but VW reliability/service costs scare me. The Miata looks like a lot of fun, but even though I prefer small cars that's just too small to be practical.

The MS3 is a blast to drive...traction sucks, though.

Yeah, I know that putting that much power in a FWD car is a sub-optimal solution, but it does help keep the MS3's price down. I'm not the type to spend a lot more than necessary on a car.

One nice thing about driving a 2000 Focus is that even a regular Mazda 3 will probably seem like a speed demon by comparison.
