I'd pick the 350Z over the G35 - i kno they're basically the same car the 350 just looks SO DAMN HOT - very aggressive - its also not a Honda. Nissan builds a good engine - SR20DET - oof the stock turbo is grande.

Dude, from those pics it seems like u have enough cars already lol. personally, i dont think this year is a great year for new cars, and you could spend nowhere near 25k and have your celi beatin the crap outta every ricer you see, and lookin a lot better than everything else on the road. so if i had 25k, which i dont, i would do 1 of three things or maybe 2 of three things. 1. wait for some better new cars to come out (2005-2006 are supposedly gonna be some crazy years! 8th Gen? MKV Supra?) 2. 3sgte my celi and make it insane. 3. buy an older car like a 70's celi or a 60's mustang or a datsun, find the biggest engine that would fit and make that insane (i've heard ideas like puttin 383's in cars like those, dunno if it would work tho) but thats just my opinion.

the scooby would be hard to beat, but for the same price you can get a Evo8...or a Mazda RX-8, or a mid range 350Z..... =)

Nope the evo is "slower"...not much but it is....
Evo:
Engine Type: Inline-4
Engine Block: Cast Iron
Cylinder Head: Aluminum Alloy
Displacement (liters): 2.0
Horsepower @ rpm (SAE net): 271@6500
Torque (lb-ft @ rpm): 273@3500
Redline (rpm): 7000
Turbocharger Type: Twin Scroll Turbine
Top Speed: 157 MPH


Subaru STI:

Type Horizontally opposed 4-cylinder intercooled high-boost turbo with die-cast aluminum-alloy block and aluminum-alloy cylinder heads. Intercooler has driver-controlled manual water spray cooler with low-fluid indicator.
Displacement 2.5 liters (150 cubic inches)
Horsepower 300 @ 6000 rpm
Torque (lb.-ft.) 300 @ 4000 rpm
Valvetrain 16-valve with Dual Overhead Camshaft design (DOHC) with Active Valve Control System (AVCS) variable valve timing.


Acura Type-S:

The RSX Type-S engine puts out 200 hp at 7400 rpm and reaches its peak torque of 142 lb.-ft. at 6,000 rpm. That works out to 100 horsepower per liter-one of the highest specific outputs of any production engine in the world. Even with all this power, the RSX Type-S still achieves an estimated EPA fuel economy of 24/31 mpg (city/highway). And the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has rated the RSX Type-S a LEV-II (Low Emission Vehicle II), by its standards for 2004.

350Z:
Engine
3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6
aluminum-alloy engine with CVTCS
129 lb-ft of torque @ 2,400 rpm
287 hp @ 6,200 rpm
274 lb-ft @ 4,800 rpm S S S S S
Sequential multi-point electronic
fuel injection

Type R:
Product Specifications
This 1997 model features a 195-hp, 1.8-liter, dual-overhead-cam, 16-valve VTEC inline 4-cylinder engine that puts out more hp-per liter than any other normally aspirated mass-produced engine in the US... not anymore due to the Rsx...but the facts stay the same...

I would go with the STI its got more power and torque than any of the others. As far as getting parts comparing to the Acura...there is a huge following for WRX's and soon to be sti's....plus its all-wheel drive...though the evo is about just as good..you can't go wrong with either...i'd go with the sti...
