You have a grand marquis as your summer sports car? That's the first time the Marquis has ever been described as a sports car. that's my point.

You have a grand marquis as your summer sports car?

Hence the reason why I put "For the right price" $400k for this thing is a joke, simply put. So many options out there for that kind of money. yeah, again I just assumed it would be around $100k, I don't know why.

"The best car that I’ve ever driven in my life as a car journalist. It is an absolute gem, it is amazing…and I think it’s a real shame that they’re only going to build only 500 pieces of it, of this masterpiece. And I honestly think that every car nut…that wants the best cars ever made in his garage, that this one, this car should be in it…next to Pagani Zondas, McLaren F1s, what have you, Porsche GT3 RS, Carrera GT, this one should be sitting next to these cars in the garage of a guy that really understands his cars. Period." I understand this is one person's opinion, I'm just saying I've heard good things. I mean the car's obviously not even out yet so there isn't much to go by.

Wouldn't be caught dead in a Toyota for that kind of money. The stable is pretty much set, unless of course an F40 can be had for the 'right' price... You were considering an IS-F though. Wouldn't the LF-A perform better and be as luxurious as anything German in its price range? Just because it's Japanese? EDIT: I just assumed the LF-A was competing with the GT-R at around $100k, for $400k I understand, even though everyone who drives it raves about it. And I'm not trying to get into an argument about your money or your parents or anything but you could seriously afford an F40? What would be the right price for one of those? like $500k?

Beating the living hell out of it. Took a dip into a wonderful NYC pothole which swallowed up the VRS lip, so the front end is back to stock. Stock 19's have been replaced with HRE Monoblok's and a Brembo BBK. Other than that, nothing has changed on the exterior. The interior is stock except for the alcantara BMW Performance steering wheel with digital readout If weather permits, i'll have some new pics this weekend. You like it better than your E46 and E60?

Im really just looking for decent power and torque, my chev half ton now has fine power but its only 2 door and i only have room for one person. I had a grand marquis and it was also okay but the frame was bad. You are right though, a monte carlo would not make a good daily driver. On the other hand, what would that would fit my criteria? something like a '96 Mustang GT?

You make a fair point, I'm not in love with the G37 sedan look. So, what I'm thinking now is this - either the G37 coupe or the Cadillac CTS sedan. Thoughts? get a used CTS-V.

That 240sx is so clean, looks great, nice job with that.

I'm just saying at like 75 you're probably not gonna drop down to 4th right? so accelerating from 75 to 100+ is gonna have to be done in 5th gear so that combined with the all wheel drive taking up power, the wrx will accelerate slowly, correct? And even if you do drop to 4th, it still won't pick up that quick will it? any way you cut it, it's a four banger, which are notoriously lacking in the higher gears. and who's really worried about performance at 80-90 mph+ anyways? you're already past the limit at that point, right? you should be worried about the acceleration from 45/50 up to mid 60s. True, I've just heard they're fast from a stop but from a roll, even like 20-30, they're slow and even like an rsx will beat them. I never thought deciding what to get would be this hard. I might go back to thinking about a Z but they seem like the least practical of everything I'm looking at.

I used to own an 03' WRX. Fun car, practicable, reliable, and phenomenal in winters. I loved it. Never driven an RSX...and like said before, two totally different cars. Any questions about the Subaru though, lemme know. well since they only have 5 gears and apparently the first 3 are wicked short, is it really slow on the highway? That statement makes zero sense. About the WRX or about how a transmission works on a basic level. I'm talking about higher speeds, since the first gears are so short, you can accelerate faster at lower speeds but you're not gonna use those gears once you're at highway speed so you're gonna have to use the 5th gear and acceleration will be slower? Am I wrong? I probably am I don't know.

And talk about all over the place haha, how's maintenance on like a 2000 Range Rover? I remember in when I was in Aspen I was looking at car ads and you could find nice ones for $12k all day. In Aspen every other car is a Range Rover though, I don't know about finding one in MA.

dude... that's about as diverse as you can get. 4 door boxer engine vs 2 door integra. hmmm... what do you have now? saab 9000 aero... beat up piece of shit. I'm a very indecisive person and I cannot make up my mind about a car. I just want something newer, fast, and reliable. I think I want the Subaru but everything I've read said they're good at launching but the AWD takes up too much power and they suck at highway speeds. The RSX-S I found is a little old has too many miles on it (97k) but I figured with the extra money I save I could mod it (maybe a turbo?). I don't know if a 97k mile engine could even handle that though.
