What would you be driving if....

[2Mopars1Ford]

You wanted to buy a new car and there was no WRX/STI or EVO.
Remeber the neon line (srt4) died sept 25th so you can't pick one of those either.
Just wondering cause it seems like at leat 80% of this board owns one of the above and I wanted to know what your second choice would have been.

Wow mine would look totally different money no object. Well there is only one. Shumaker's F1 car.

[95nracer]

Well since the question was for a new car (Of the lot right?) I would probably have something along these lines.

RX8 turboed. I would have to turbo that thing
S2000

There are others, but they would probaly be on the top of my list and I can somewhat afford them.

Of course I'd have to get the 1000hp twin turbo setup from Hennessey Motorsports.

[Buster]

Mos Def another Spec-V. I loved mine.

[180sxDrifter]

well the same thing I woulda got If I had more cash.... a 2end gen Eclipse GSX or for a newer car a Lexus IS300

[koho2731]

well if it had to be new I would go with a 3 seires BMW if I had the money I love I6's. If it had to be in my price range I would have to get another Spec V or I would just buy a used DSM probably a 95 TSi AWD.

[95nracer]

well i think you should sell me your car and buy one of them. Oh wait you won't... you suck then.

And if it can be any car, i'd get another Z28 to replace my old one that i wrecked (miss that car soo much) or a 69 Camaro SS, or 71 Chevelle SS

70 daytona? was that a mistake they are 69's
The only 70 Daytonas known to exist are considerd fakes by the majority of the Mopar comunity (at least in the circles I travel) and are just 70 chargers that the owners had added Daytona parts to.
There was no 71 challenger TA (they were 70's)
The trex concept was bad &** not too many people remmber it though.

As far as my line up goes, I have the 71 RR with a 440 and air grabber (non original) and my 71 demon.
I still want
71 dodge charger RT with ramcharger hood.
68 charger R/T or 69 charger 500
70 RR superbird
70 cuda
68RR
70 superbee
I also wouldnt mind

[sisforsurfing]

1G DSM or Legacy GT. But they share a lot with Evo's and WRX's, so...
Mkiii Jetta VR6, or a Mkii with a swap.
Audi A4 1.8t
G35 Coupe (out of my league price-wise)

[PSI Chick]

i was debating a focus svt but that went out the window once i drove it.

if there was no srt-4, i'd probably be in a mustang. most likely a 99 or 00.

[MPowerKai]

Lamborghini Murcielago for snow days. Ferrari Enzo for nice days with top. Ferrari F430 Spider for nice days with top down. BMW M5 for comfy ride on nice day. That would be my garage :)

[Chair-Force]

G35 Coupe (out of my league price-wise)

Woid! I was very, very close to pushing the rex off a cliff and buying a G35 Coupe when I got back from Italy. I had one picked out for $31k but then I decided to see how much crap I could put on the rex before it burst into flames.
My injectors were leaking yesterday. Almost there!

[2point4DSM]

I'd be driving a Honda Pilot. Or if I had more money and more driveway space I'd get a Legacy GT and a Honda Ridgeline, instead.

I was so close to getting a Legacy GT before the Pilot. Only problem is that it just wasn't roomy enough coming from a minivan, lol. And surprisingly, insurance would have been a little less for the Subaru, lol.

[MuddyREX]

I'd either have a Mazdaspeed Protege, a Mini Cooper S, or a VW Corrado VR6.

[xEJ20x]

Just added an SW20 to my list of cars.

http://www.tristatetuners.com/forum/showpost.php?p=107287&postcount=5

[moorefire]

an m45 on 22s for a daily and an LS1 powered FD as a track slut

[1988 Olds]

I'm going to consider the G35 because I may be able to afford it when I'm all done college.

[SilverTurboRidin]

Okay:
New GTO, with deep lip rims and exhaust
Clipse GSX- 2nd gen
1966 Mustang
Ford Lightning- newer model
300ZX TT version..
350Z
69' maro with a blower through the hood...ummm
87-93 foxbody style mustang...Prefer GT or cobra...but a LX with a 5.0 would work
Tegra with the LS/VTEC

[blu4door]

Charger srt8

[jspek]

im with pete. move to england. gotta rock the fords

escort cosworth mk 4 i think they are called

[dolphinS4]

Saab 9-3 viggen
Audi s4 ( turbo not the 8)

That hurts! :mad:

J/K. I would take the B5 too, for modding options anyway.

E60 M5 for me next.

The Daytona, you're completely right. I messed up the years and I should be slapped.

The 71 Challenger T/A and the 70 Challenger R/T Hemi...dates are wrong and should be switched. :p

And I got a chance to see the TRex in person. The truck was so badass that it still ran low 16's in the quarter. I have a lot of specs on it. Torquey v10 Magnum. I love that truck

*edit*

So, let's see...immediately I picked off the orange Lamborghini Murcielago, silver Diablo, red Ferrari F50, orange Pagani Zonda C12. That's only 1.3 million so far. There's also what appears to be something red resembling an STi or an EVO, the silver car in front of that, but what the heck is the orange one on the end up top??

[96s14]

well i love my 240sx so i would stay in the nissan family. i would have to say like a 600+whp 350z

[SRT42EnVy]

I would go with a 97 or 98 Supra or RX-7 and if money wasnt an option probably a Hennesey Viper or some kind of Viper or C6ZO6

[WRX27]

In no order, no us emissions or $ holding me back - Subaru Leagacy GT STI; Cadillac CTS-V; Ferrari Challenge Stradalle; Porsche Carrera GT; BMW M6; Audi Shooting Brake;(concept i know); Nissan GTR; Subaru 22B Impreza; 06 Corvette; and that W12 audi.

[012.5RS]

[olmytsi]

[mostasteless]

in the same price range as what I have:
RSX Type S
Mustang GT

but I would have likely saved a little more cash and went with a Legacy GT

[silver05bullet]

I already got an Evo but if money was not an issue
i would have to say one of the true exotic cars
Ferrari Enzo
Any muscle car Dodge Charger like in F&F (not because of the movie but theyre bad ass)
An Formula One Car any of them and drive that thing on the streets woudl be sick

[98GSXdude]

in realistic terms, a 350z or s2000. obviously i'd take any exotic or high end car

[Raven18940]

gt2>gt3
What he said,

I'd probably go for a smaller, nimbler Saab 9-3 SS. Or a 9-2 if they ever make it. Then I'd get an old Ferrari 308, beatiful car that, then an old 911.

[05OCsrt-4]

i'd go with either the charger srt-8 or a 350Z (and put a twin turbo setup on)

[300zTT]

i'd go with either the charger srt-8 or a 350Z (and put a twin turbo setup on)
then just get a 300zx twin turbo. ive raced a twinturbo 350z and killed him. they are realy not that fast unless u put alot of money into them like internerals and all the good stuff. he had well over 10k in the mothor and could not beat me. the next time i saw him he was supercharged and running low 11's with NOS and had over 30k put into the whole car. ive spent less then $2500 and im running low 12's give me another 5 grand and i'll be in the low 11's too!

[Adamblitzer]

ariel atom.... 60k and faster than an enzo

[subwrxkid]

then just get a 300zx twin turbo. ive raced a twinturbo 350z and killed him. they are realy not that fast unless u put alot of money into them like internerals and all the good stuff. he had well over 10k in the mothor and could not beat me. the next time i saw him he was supercharged and running low 11's with NOS and had over 30k put into the whole car. ive spent less then $2500 and im running low 12's give me another 5 grand and i'll be in the low 11's too!
$2500 including the purchase of the car? Damn now talk about the best bang for your buck! You get yourself a 1980 12 second car, sign me up for one of those!

[05OCsrt-4]

[300zTT]

i paid $5800 for my Z biatch plus $2500 in mods= low 12's

AND ITS NOT A 1980!!!!!! 1990 @$$

[subwrxkid]

yea, but the question was what new car would u get?

[300zTT]

lol. Yea I think he missed that one! Well his 300zx is new to him, but older than he is lol.
well pll are sayin 1970 this 1965 that 1960 this so 1190 is pretty new to all that right!!!!!!

[blkbomber01]

i would probably drive a new vw r32 or a benz clk 600 amg(?)

[JasterM5]

I'd prolly have to steal my buddies idea and Twin Turbo a Lexus LS400

[012.5RS]

and the Y82 is new if its restored(atleast in my eyes). its ok 2Mopars1Ford i know you wanna be a GC8 boy

[Twin_Cam]

Get a twin-cam 5-speed Maxima that looks as crappy as mine, build the motor, stick a t3/t4 on one bank of cylinders and a GT40 on the other bank and rock and roll ;)

[Omega SE]
