What should my next car be?
What should my next car be?
Hey, after I sell my turbo kit and put my car back to stock, what should I get? I want to get something that is nice but not too pricey. Let me know what you guys think. It can be anywhere from racey to luxury. Thanks.

Re: What should my next car be?
Doesn't the 350 only have automatic? and I heard it was pretty soft too so I would prolly take the 250... But my choice would be to try and find a new or low miles gto whatever the last year was I think 06 cause those things are bound to be hella cheap by now because my local dealer was selling them for like 26k i think like a year ago and you can't go wrong with 6.0L... LS2 FTMFW!
Re: What should my next car be?
that is350 has an auto but its still fast as hell, my buddy is a lexus tech and he brought one home DAMN, but if you want a little bit of both get teh TL type-S it looks damn good, has lux, and is pretty decent in the power ( especially if you turbo that bad boy ). that or an s2k is fun, or an sti, or fck it get the veyron

Owned a s2k for 15 months and have no regrets with MY04 STi. It has the best of both worlds, and does everything that the S can do, only quicker! You can always get a WRX and with $1500 (stage 2) you can be just as fast, if not faster than the STi. EVO uses finesse rather than force like the Ru, and will take turns faster. It all comes down to personal prefrence. After having AWD for the past few months, I don't know how I could have lived without it, it only makes sense
Since your civic is turbo'd, I'm sure you plan on doing some modding. Even though EVO/STi are cheap to mod, they are not dragsters. If you get a Comptech Supercharger for the s2k, you can keep your warranty.
When it comes to s2k vs. Z, I found the Z easier to live with (comfort) but it wasn't as fun. I think all 06 Zs might be gone, but if you plan on modding, you can pick up a base model for around $27k.
Whatever you do, please test drive these four cars first. I didn't test drive the Z till after 13 months of owning a s2k, and I felt that I should have gotten a Z to begin with. Its all driver feel and prefrence when it comes to s2k/Z and EVO/STi. Good luck, and keep us posted!

Two seaters are cool, but I really wouldn't recommend one as a daily driver. S2K was super stiff, and I had to beat myself up just getting in and out of the car. I'm 5'10, mostly legs, and I didn't have enough leg room. I couldn't fully extend my left knee if I wanted to. For the first few weeks my right elbow was hurt so bad during shifting I felt like a pitcher who needed Tommy John surgery. As for women, YES, you will get attention. But its for all the wrong reasons, if you know what I mean.
Although EVO/STi won't feel as refined as the s2k or Z, they will do almost anything better. Brake, accelerate, and take turns quicker.

Does any one else notice that the original poster doesn't seem to care about what we said and people are just too jazzed about the opportunity to talk about their favorite car to notice?
Yeah I didn't think so... any way...
Man the GTO is so cool... it's like a corvette except cheap and it's got 6.0L... It comes in black too, black is a good color... That's about it... GTO FTW!

hmm... I like your choices of cars. I had my eye on the IS350 but it is so damn pricey. I can deal with cars in $15,000-$20,000 range. I've been looking at the sti's and I like them, but... my next car has to last me like 4-5 years and I have realized that as the older I'm getting, the more I want my car to be luxury. the 350z's are nice too but I think i would rather have a rear seat. Keep em coming
Re: What should my next car be?
oh, my dad has an auction license so i will probably be getting my car at a wholesale price. We just got a 2004 Lariat F-150 4dr in 2005 for only $23,000 with only 10,000 miles on it. Just keep that in mind.

Re: What should my next car be?
It's such a sexy car. You had better hurry the hell up and find one now. They're all pretty much sold out, IIRC.
Re: What should my next car be?
Eh, no tengo dinero. I wouldn't mind picking up a '06 Spec-B, just have to deal with the red leather interior though. Much better than blue suede though. I think they are coming out with a 6 Cyl. Legacy GT though for '08. And it is priced a few grand less than the Spec-B.
