an R32 for 16gs??? thats a lot.... i can get a r33 for that much... the only problem would be the time it takes to get here....
u guys should research this... its not even that hard to get a skyline down here, the only problem is it wouldnt be street legal... to make it street legal thats another story.... and another couple of gs!

I would wait for the next generation S2000 as it's a hard top with I-VTEC or the next coming of the Prelude.

Depends I guess. If you want brand new, then you can get something like a 350z, a RXS S, a Celica GTS, possibly a MBW Z4, Cadillac CTS. or something. If you want slightly used than you can prolly pick up a Supra, or a Camaro SS, even a used S2000. Just some ideas. My mind isn't working very good right now. I'm sure there are a lot more. .

Or. .. .. . If you want to go with a older car then you can get like a 64 Stingray or something. . That would be cool. . hehe.

I'd dump all 30 into making a monster of a sleeper out of my sedan. It'd dominate. It's already a great car, just too damn slow. Needs 300 more horsepower.

low mileage supra tt's are expensive. add to the fact that completely stock supras are hard to find and the owners always want to be compensated for the mods they have done. and i'd wait for the 2006 model year RX-7. lets just hope the RX-8 sells well enough so that they will build it.
