New or used? What do you pick, and why?

I think for me it would be a new or very slightly used 350z, but I might have to consider a used g35 coupe as well. It would be nice to have a back seat so more than one passenger could ride with me.

What would you guys buy?

Evo 8? 03-ish STI? um... really if it was me i would be looking into a used Skyline. they have come down enough where you can buy an early 90's model in canada (or one tagged in the US if you wait on ebay long enough) with low miles in excelent shape. just my .02

id buy a jeep tj haha, and then a turbo eclipse.

one time i thought that if i won the lottery, I would pay like four people from these forums to come to my house and build the shit out of my 2gnt.... it was quite a strange thought....

I would buy a reliable Honda Fit, and use the rest to pay off the mortgage.

exactly, i'd use it for a downpayment on a house. of course I already have an evo so meh.

get a nice G35 Coupe.. they are sex on wheels, or an Audi TT

If it has to be used on a car, an r32 gtr skyline. Use the rest to refresh and build the hell out of it.

would prefer the r34 but would take either :)

If it all has to be used on the car, probably a used Lotus Motorsport Elise.

Edit: Why? Look at it, and you won't need to ask. Hot secks.

Challenger R/T.

69 Road Runner

if i would have stayed in the states (and i had about the same amount to play with), i was going to get a g35...but since you got that amount, i'd hop on craigslist and see what's available. if you want luxury, then a c230 or 3 series bmw would be nice. if you want performance, then a sti or evo would be nice too. if you're looking to drop some money on something new, m3, m5, m6, z4 or z8 (not sure if they are still making them), g37 and something else along those lines...not really sure what your preference is...shhhh...i'm drunk.

I'm quite fond of my turbo Solstice.

First thing I'd do is pick up www.specialstage.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=750&cat=13. Then I'd probably get an Atom if possible and throw a six-bolt in it.

Audi something, I like the g35 but here in hawaii throw a rock in any direction you hit a honda or a g35.

The more I learn about these cars I like that I can build up a 4 banger and spank a v8.

Plus my insurance is 320 for 6 months and thats on the GST. A EVO was like paying rent again. SHITTY

Oh sweet Mother Mary of Jesus! :love

Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I can get good gas mileage during everyday driving and on weekends take it to the mountain or pull the waverunners.

I never said it had to be used, if anyone was thinking that. Either way...

I'm not planning on buying anything soon, but have just been thinking about what my next car will probably be. It'll probably be at least 6 months until I buy anything though.

Hmm, that depends on what the car is for...

If I wanted ordinary, a Mazda3 with only the 2.0L (enough HP, better mileage) and a manual.

If I wanted extraordinary, a used EVO, old enough so it costs under $30K and leaves enough cash lying around to pay the super high insurance.

Or, a GS-T turbo in excellent condition, tons of mods, and plenty of money left over.

03 AP1 s2k. Mag Blue. Easy Question, Hope to be drving this next year at this time, while going turbo with the Eclipse

used lotus, no question

My man. :thumbsup

Laguna Seca Blue E46 BMW M3 - without the SMG please.

I hate to admitt it, but an S2K

Now that i think of it, i would buy a dodge conquest if i could ever find one. Its a dsm, turbo rwd that looks badass. And (i think) had one of the first 4g63's. So there would be huge amounts of mods avalable.

They had 2.6 liter turbo 6s. There are about 12 or so out here in Baton Rouge.

I was sure they had the 4. ohwell no big deal. And i Cant find any in ontario for sale. The autotrader and a bunch of other smaller simular sites have nothing. Were they even sold in Canada?

it's a 2.6 SOHC turbo 4 cylinder and RWD. Plenty of people swap 4G63's in them though. Very nice cars. Hard to find clean ones though. I'd only get a clean one. I believe they are known for having injector problems

OHH! YES!

LOL! Was that a Fiesta? And just think, you'd have around 29.5k left over!

close enough lol, a ford festiva

Evo IX for sure. I love the shit out of my VIII!

I mean, wtf...this car has intake, exhaust, fuel pump, and meth, thats about it... (mbc doesn't count since they just clamp off the wastegate line, lol)

modded '03 cobra. They can be had in the 500 whp range for around $24k.

In all practical purposes, I wouldn't drop that much on a car, unless I had like $300k in the bank.

Either a used nissan skyline or a d-spec silvia (actual silvia, no conversion).

RWD turbo baller status ride. There would be no modifications due to all the money i'd spend on insurance and tires every month.

http://www.modifiedcartrader.com/media/picture_Video_viewer.aspx?itemNumber=11578&txt=1991 Nissan Skyline GTR & GTS SKYLINE

I'd buy a 1970 Pontiac Trans Am with a 455. OMG!!!!!!!!!! My dad had one when I was a baby. I don't remember it, but I've drooled over the pictures in our photo albums forever. Actually, $30,000 probably wouldn't be enough to get one. Ugh.


<img src=""</img> <img src=""</img>


so...do I get the 30 grand or what?

hmmmm, $30k...

typical answer, EVO or STi (most likely EVO)

buildup a car answer, make the eight six a mean little fucker for track and street use (wonder if I could RWD a 4g63 into it :shrug ) and finish the Eclipse

crazy answer, build a Lotus 7 replica from the ground up with a tomei SR20 crate engine and 6 speed trans sitting in it :evilgrin

Drop 25K on a nice MKIV Supra single turbo, and use the remaining 5k on the GSX, get her where I been wanting to.

Mmm :scratch 30k lets see well since I'm ohio, and about 2hr ride to Norwalk. I'd put a down payment on a Buschur EVO from MEDINA Mitsubishi Dealer, on map quest its across from NORWALK.

I would never buy a 350z, Supra, or a Skyline. Everything is too damn expensive. If I where a Millionare had money to piss away, then yes I would buy one of each.

I was dreaming about having a DSM fully built, This would be f'n sweet check this out.

I would have the Transmission Built by John Shep, have the bottom block built by Buschur, top by MAGNUS, turbo kit by Hahn/buschur Tuned by Magnus/Bushcur. Hopefully the DSM would break the 8's for a FWD.
