I like the Type 65 Coupe my self... though the Spyder GT would be really fun too.

Rep Power: 0 ACURAwerx: So far the choice of car everyone has chosen is the G35 coupe, I to myself agree! The first thing that came to mind when I read your topic was a silver G35 coupe on the nice factory chrome wheels, mm those are badass. Gotta throw the lil factory spoiler on there, thats hot! So yeah, I would tell your buddy to get the G35 coupe. He'll have power, luxury, Infinity quality, the women will like it more because it wont have a big hideous wing on it, I dont mind the wing myself, but when the ladies see it, they think it's super ugly. You mentioned him being a pimp at age 21, the best way to accomplish that would be with the G35 coupe. Thats the way to go man 
I would do that car or the Audi A4 coupe convertable, if he wants to pay a lil extra.

Rep Power: 0 im thinking the s2000 might be the best choice, not that many people have them, its a little more reliable then the STI (Cuz its na). And it would look awesome with a kit and 19s.

Rep Power: 0 the evo MR that will be out in Novemeber...
The new MR version looks to make the Evo an even more enjoyable ride with the addition of a larger turbocharger for improved low- and mid-range power and an extra gear in the form of a new 6-speed gearbox. The MR also sheds about 300 pounds, thanks to a new aluminum roof and lightweight alloy BBS wheels. Improved handling is achieved with even stickier Yokohama Advan tires, revised suspension and Mitsubishis famous active center differential, helping to elevate its skidpad number from 0.88g in stock form to a whopping 0.98g for the MR.

Rep Power: 0 get the new evo mr itīs so bad a$s, faster than the sti and better looking. tell him if he gets anything else iīll kill him. 350z and and s2000 are not even in the same class as the sti or the evo.

Rep Power: 0 the problem with the stiīs and the evos is that you canīt test drive them unless you are seriously gonna buy it or are just about to sign the papers. i know several people that have gone to several different places to try and no one would let them. i would be a little hesitant to buy a car that iīve never driven. also, i saw a yellow evo on autotrader today for like 23k it had 8k miles on it.

Rep Power: 0 dang dude, you should tell your friend the G35 - every other post says G35 by far, so i would recommend that to him even if he hasnt considered it. Just go take that puppy for a test drive and see what he says.

Rep Power: 0 yes that is true, and i still think evo, and if possible mr. i have heard that the mr will be impossible to get as there will only be 1000 in the us, also, it will be close to 40k after dealer mark up and what not. the s2k is like the new rx-8 you have to rev it soooo high to get into the power band that itīs not a good daily driver. the evo and the sti have good power in a fairly low range, even though i havenīt driven either, iīm sure they are more fun than the s2k
