MOST likely going to pull the trigger on one of these cars: AP2 S2000, 350Z, or G35. Most likely the 350z because I absolutely love the body style and power it delivers. I'd probably consider the G35 Coupe too because it has seating for four (3 kids - although still will have the CRV to haul around) with same performance as the Z.

It's going to be a DD with simple mods with some 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 (maybe wider) wheels slammed on coilovers. Really looking for a semi fun, good handling RWD 2 seater.

Anyone here own, owned, or driven one have any feedback on how it drives, problematic areas, better years, etc. Our local club's website has been shut down and I don't feel like joining another forum. I'd peek (or google rolleyes.gif ) but I figure I'd ask first to see if anyone out there has first hand experience. I'll probably test drive my good friend's brother's 03 350Z this weekend.

THanks! wink.gif

Alright, so if manual is a must that'd rule out the Z and G35. I forgot about the S2000, Honda and RWD aren't synonymous. tongue.gif If the rear seat isn't needed I'd say go with the S2000 then if you want an import. Thinking about it the Genesis is probably out of range as well being 08+. If you like domestic cars the 04-06 Pontiac GTO would be an excellent choice. You can find them in the sub $15K range in great shape, and they have a good backseat. Also have the C5 Corvette, with earlier models being in the same price range of sub $15K. If you were thinking about the MKIV Supra there is also the Lexus SC300, though finding it with a manual is hard.
