So what'd you guys think? Something about the R33 really does it for me. But all of it's aftermarket is expensive as hell and you really can't find used parts for it. The community for help would probably be smaller...so I dunno. Supra might be my go since it's such a great platform for drag racing and I am a drag whore.

I'd take the R33 as well. Unique, sexy, AWD, powerful, etc.

R33, stupidly fast, but convert it to single turbo and get it like that R34 700hp daily driver like they posted on here b4.

So how come no one chose the z06 or MR? All of the cars are great, but just trying to get a technical discussion going.

Z06. In the end, it would be the more powerful vehicle, if less advanced in some ways. wink.gif

However, the soon to be released C6 Z06... just might royally own everything mentioned above. But it will cost ya. smile.gif

yea, I'm a corvette guy originally. wink.gif

id take the skyline r34 v-spec ! but ill settile for the r33 if i have to ..lol

rx7 = too unrealiable, and im not a rotary fan
C5 Corvette Z06 = corvettes are for old guys with a mid life chrisis
Supra TT = id probobably rock one of those, but its definetly a weekend kind of car.
Evo8 MR = i got to check this car out at a car show....it just feels soo cheaply made. id take a normal evo over the mr

realistically i kind of have my heart set on an STI, blue with gold bbs rims.

FD thank you- the body design is still incerdibly fresh seeing as it was unveiled at the end of 91, interior is still very modern in the Spirit R, crazy redline, and above all, that delicious rasp of the rotor smile.gif Compared to the rest of the group- its the extrovert

Z06 because it dominates in Superstock, is unbelievable on a street course, and is the best bang for the buck.

Personally, I have never been one to wet myself over a Skyline. 'Nuff said.

The RX7, its f-ing bad ass and all, but its too rich for my blood. If its free, this would be my number 3 pick though.

The Evo is nice I guess, but Mitsus aren't my thing. Too many horror stories. The sedan is a nice feature and makes it more of a daily driver than the others... Especially if you have friends that ride with you a lot.

The Corvette is an American classic, and props to it. Wouldn't mind one, but they seem to be more common than any of the others on here.

The Supra TT is my pick of the litter. Numero Uno. Its perfect in every single aspect, in my oppinion. It might not be the fastest, or handle the best, or look the best, but its got my heart.




Another option that I don't think many people would pick would be the Cadillac CTS-V. I worked at a Caddy dealership and I took a few of them (5 to be exact) out and beat the mess out of them. Its the perfect combonation of luxury and performance, while still having the sedan family value. I love everything about the car. In my dream life, I would have a CTS-V and a Supra... and a POS 'rolla, just to be versatile. lol.






I'd also like to throw the IS300 into the mix. Its in about the same price range, depending.

The CTS-V is about $53,000 give or take... We had a nice used one for $38K.






How aboot a used Porsche 911 Turbo? lol

ha, I laugh when people try and associate new Cadilac's as a true luxury car... No serious luxury carwith true presige has a new rebate offer every other month. The arrival of the Audi RS4 will be the the end of the CTS-V's 'dominance" in the market...

Viper? That is up there in price. As far as the V being knocked down by the Audi ABC123, I don't care. I love the V. Period. Yeah, owning a CTS and bragging about it like it was expensive is kinda dumb but they seem to be reinventing themselves, which is nice. I have never driven a 911 or any real expensive car (cept the XLR) so I can't really say much about other cars. I'm sure they have a high sticker for a reason. Yeah, best bang for the buck would prolly be a 'Vette, but I want the total package... The Supra is the shXt, plain and simple, but when I get older and knock up a playboy bunny, I want something with a backseat, balls under the hood, and luxury in the grill. For me, thats Lexus or Cadillacs. I'm not big into Audi because I haven't heard anything about them really. I know they are nice, but I don't know why. Same with Infinity. I'm not well versed yet, but I am only 19. I'll listen and watch and learn... Knowledge is power and I want to be king.




***EDIT***
As far as true luxury car, the Cadillac is far from it. They are built by us, the lazy Americans. We put out stuff that looks nice but doesn't last. Its the American way. So I think Cadillac stands in a group of not luxury, but American luxury... The difference between Caddy and Lexus is longevity.
