Odds are, once I get my car back on the road, I'll quickly forget any thought of selling her....but it's kind of fun to 'window shop' other options. I guess I can blame Mach5 and Vrod and their recent Evolution purchases for planting the virus in my head.

E36 M3
'03 Evo
350z

What else?

 

s2k, z06, c6 vette, e46 m3, g35 coupe...nothing wrong with test drives, unless you're an impulse buyer...

 

'03 Evo

 

whew! '01 z06's seem to be ~27-30k.

I'd die, literally, if I had an s2k.

C6....yeah, right. They told me they don't accept ********* as down payment anymore.

I'd love to drive an e46! I should've meekly asked you for a ride in your e36 (that's what you had/have, right?)

I drove a g35. I really like it, but it just didn't flick my switch.

I really need to try an Evo out.

 

wierd.. theonly people i see driving evo's down here behind the wheel look to me like they are still in high school..

dont see any Evo's with older owners like the STi population is...

 

Around here, seeing STi's or Evo's is a rarity.

 

i woulda given you a ride in the m3 pat...and even though you may not be able to afford the cars, just go and test drive them anyway...very few dealerships will actually do a credit check before letting you go for a test drive...i always offered the dealer to do one, but no one ever took me up on my offer...and i got to drive a whole lotta stuff...funnest so far was the new e55, m5 and c5 z06...

oh, btw, the new 3 series also drifts pretty nicely ...

 

The EVO takes mods really well and the mods cost less on average.

 

I oughta go test drive more. If at least for the ability to better discern between cars. What's the harm in taking a C6 or a CTS-v (one of my favorites, but again, out of my league) for a spin?

 

I know you studied.

What are some of the shortcomings?

 

Not sure yet...but check this out....

390hp EVO kit = $2295 http://www.vishnutuning.com/evo_Stage1_v390.htm

400HP STi kit = $4090 http://www.vishnutuning.com/impreza_sti_stage2_v400.htm

Just makes you think a little.

Shoot for around $100 more I can get a test pipe and make my dream of 400HP @ the flywheel!

..oh and getting around 100 more HP in the S2000 would have cost around $5000!

 

a sedan would be more practical since you have a family. i doubt a two seater would go over well with your wife.

seriously pat, i think an evo would fit perfectly for what you want. go test drive one.

another option, but expensive, would be a cts-v.

 

2006 STi - i seen it. i like it. the underbody impressed me. my opinions have drastically changed on the appearance.

i'm hoping the rumors are true in regards to the H.P. being underated.....
