Random ass car whoring thread.

Only others that come to mind are the RS4, and C63 AMG... Think your mind is set on that M3 though.

I'm going to take a look at the C63 AMG, probably test drive it if I get a chance this weekend.  It's a traditional automatic with a torque converter, but I'm going to give it a chance to see how the handling compares.  Thus far, every Mercedes that I've driven doesn't compare to BMW in terms of steering feel and suspension feedback; I'm sure the C63 AMG handles really well, so I am going to give it a chance.  It is faster than an M3, but I honestly don't plan on tracking my next car, so all out speed isn't that important to me.  I'll be happy with "fast enough."

I thought about the S5 and the S4, and I love Audi interior; but Audi does claim that burning about a quart of oil every 3k miles is normal, wtf?  Now the RS4, I didn't even think about that, might have to drop by an Audi dealership.

[Mike]

I'm not sure that the Oil they reccomend helps that either.

Any of you guys read the specs on those new Mazda engines? 14:1 compression stock using direct injection...I wonder how much power Honda guys will be able to squeeze out of Honda engines with this tech in NA form.

Having a reliable DD 4banger with 350+hp would be pretty sweet ahaha

Yea i seen it on car and driver mag they say it part of there skyactiv technology to remain using gas engines and get more mileage out of them , there one of the companies who will not be picking up hybrid versions. i think is a good idea if something like that would come to honda from factory i could see the builds already lol

So I'm planning to take a look at the Shelby GT500 and the Boss 302.  There is a 2011 GT500 at a local dealer, its new, and I wouldn't be surprised if its been sitting there a while and the dealer would be willing to give a pretty good deal on it.  They have a few Boss 302's also.

There's also the 2013 GT500 that will have 650hp..

Thoughts?

if you got the coin, then do it need I say more?

I know you like the new car feel but, if your considering a Stang I would probably look for a lower mileage 2003 - 2004 Cobra. They came factory SC'd, and if you put some cash into them you can easily make more than 650 HP. Could probably get a pristine car with more power for half the money.

The reason I prefer new is because of warranty, but I am willing to look at low mileage CPO cars that are clean.

I would like a car that wasn't modded; and if it was, I would prefer no engine mods.

To be honest, I'm kindof getting over this whole modding the car thing.  A few cosmetic things, like new wheels, front lip, side skirts, etc. but that's it.  I would like a car that performs well out of the box, and one that I would hopefully not fall down the same path of modding suspension, engine, etc.

At least, that's my goal for my next car; and one I hope I can stick to.

[Mike]

I'd avoid a Mustang. They are so easy and cheap to mod that its silly. It's tough to resist when parts are so available and cheap.

Bought, not built.  Right?

[slipkord]

what is it about a hot chick who can drive a stick shift...hummanah hummanah!!

I'm looking at a shit ton of cars...none of which are hitting the 95th percentile

[slipkord]

08 G35x sedan auto $22k
08 R32 dsg auto $22k
08 TL base auto $21k
09 civic si nav $19k

I'm leaning towards the si or r32 just for pure fun factor and practicality

[CrackerTeg]

The only one in that list that's a manual transmission is the SI and that would be the one I'd choose. Plus, those are fun, roomy cars.

[slipkord]

And its the cheapest, worried abt the boy racer look tho. Its white so its not flashy.

I've recently been looking to find an Accord as well, feel like modding an accord again, if not, si it is
