like stated earlier all you guys are all about these evo's and sti's. when an A4 of for gods sake if you can find an S4 those cars are beautiful! A new A4 goes for around that price with a 2.0 engine in it. A used S4 with low miles is an unbelieveable car.

cant believe that no one called him out on this!
How much of a sleeper would it be if he's driving on the other side of the car!
Neways, with $30,000, buying new and no 2 seater...evo & sti have my vote for sure!

Rep Power: 0 This is what you have to do in the negotiating if you have cash. You never tell them you are going to pay cash. You always tell them that you have "ok" credit and that you are going to put some down and finanace the rest. Act like an idiot so that they can feel like they are fooling you into a real high APR. Dealerships always want you to finance so that they can make money off your financing. Youll notice youll get a real good deal when you say you are going to finance. Soooo when you go into to fill out paperwork and work out the price lead them to beleive that you are financing on the car. SAY THESE WORDS "CAN I DO 72 MONTH FINANCING" meaning the APR will be higher.. They will say sure.. Let them run your credit and all of that. Then when you neotiate a price say you know what "I am just going to pay cash" whip out your wadd and watch them squirm with the loss they just took! good luck....

Rep Power: 310 No downpayments just flat pay off. New or Slightly used doesn't really matter. Right now he' considering the STI, Evo, TSX, 03' Cobra, IS 300 (used under $30,00), and i've got him think about buying a Civic and just modding the hell out of it. Insurance is another thing he's got to consider to so nothing too extreme. I didn't think about the A4......I heard they have a lot of problems?

RX-8:
1/4: 14.5
0-60: 5.9
Skidpad: .90 lateral g
Perfect 50/50 weight distribution
Carbon fiber drive shaft
Just because EPA put their hand in things, and power was downrated from 248 to 238 doesn't make the car slow smart guy
1 min 31.8 seconds around the Top Gear Track designed by Lotus. Same exact time as BMW M3 in the same exact conditions.
Slow? What does that make that DC5R you keep bringing up?
By the way, it's a huge waste of money to buy a FWD hype-R for 25-30 large and import it. The used DC2R is outdated and over-rated. I had a B18C5 engine in my old EG hatchy...
Miatas have been owning much more expensive cars and "superior" sports cars at the autocross for years. You think this is girly?
Continue to show how ill educated you are. By the way, if you want to see just how slow an RX-8 is, let me know next time you're in Vegas. I'll give you a ride in my slow car. BTW I've got a deposit on my Greddy turbo kit.
Try this on for girly:

Yes... funny about that sleeper thing. I can see it now. Pulling up to the left side of a de-badged DC5R with a hot girl sitting on the left side... wondering where the **** her steering wheel is when it's in her boyfriend's hands. Ha...

Rep Power: 248 rx-8 IMO has slow pick up, slammin on the gas it feels sluggish.
and IMO i think its ugly, it makes the phrase pop in my head
"Holy moly Batman, its an RX-8!"
And your comment of my ill education...
Well I guess being given $23,000/year in scholarships & grants
to go to a Top 5 Tech school in the nation is ill educated.
Florida Tech aint that bad is it?
And if you want to purchase a Miata and pimp the hell out of it go ahead
Jus dont wreck or you'll die in the tiny pos.

Good for you. Learn how to drive properly and an RX-8 wouldn't "feel" sluggish. The S2K has the same road manners.

Rep Power: 248 btw nookiemonster, u have some good points on the rx-8, i looked some info/specs up on it and i respect the car much more than before. based on the time when i drove my friends rx-8, it did not perform to my expectations thats all.
