What car would you choose? - Click HERE for Original Thread

LS1-V8
Hey Guys,

Just curious that's all,
Please look at the year of the car when making your choice.

Would love suggestions for cars that i have may left out.

JDC™
I said the RX8, something different, and new. And damn is it a hot looking car B)

REFLUX
rotaries are leading the race!!!!! :o

SlowAzzPorsche911T
you forgot the best car of all... the porsche :D and thanks to me the heavy hitter viper is leading

mrprecidia
put me down for an FD :wub:

WookeysRX7
:werd: I put myself down for an FD Too! :bigthumbup: :bow:

BlueTurboEGG
Hmmm, perhaps Supra, more tunability.

SlowAzzPorsche911T

FD = chasis (?) code for 3rd generation rx-7
FC = 2nd gen
FB = 1st

& rotaries are still leading the race

RX-8 & RX-7 = 5 votes!! :D

redbaron303
I'd go 350Z cause Z's of all era's are just sweet!!!! :D

There are some good choices and w/out driving each one first it would be hard to make that choice.... :D

inglewood
i'm the one and only to choose the vette...so far.

wait a second, isn't this a v8less site?

ChromeDragon
I'm saying RX8, just cuz I'd love to see what you can get out of that side ported beast!!! Plus it's a damn seksy car!

Chromey

uncle ben
RX-8-4-LIFE-!

LS1-V8
I'm surprised a V12 is tied for the lead and a V88 got a vote lol
I chose the VIPER myself

SlowAzzPorsche911T
I'm goin on pure looks and the fact that the viper is one of the few last "true" muscle cars re-vamped... so many japanese sports cars out there :mellow:

uncle ben
yeah, but try to keep the tank full in the viper @ 86cent a liter. And youi know that gas is just gonna keep going up

83b18b1slow
Go Z06!! :D

LS1-V8
To tell you guys the truth when I posted this poll I really thought that the SUPRA was gonna run away with it. You guys would choose a 350Z or an RX8 over a SUPRA. Not FLAMING just curious as to why??

uncle ben
you can fit 3 ho's in the RX-8, and nothing beats the novilty of a rotory. 4 door is cheaper insurance too :bigthumbup:

ChromeDragon
As great as the Supra is, it's been done to death. The RX8 handles like a mofo, has amazing potential in the sideport rotary, and is downright a cooler looking car than the Supra.

I can't wait to see what people do to squeeze more power from them two lil rotors!!!

rx8 all the way! :bigthumbup:

HKSpowers
Z's all the way!

s2oooR

I agree man I've seen a bunch of them around town already . And as for the RX8 I think they should have made them 2 door and what's with the suicided doors.... :thumbsdown: I think those doors look like crap. That's just my $0.02
As for the Supra yeah done to death but boy are they amazing and rare. Personally if I had to choose between the RX8 and the 350 I would go with the 350 but put one next to a Supra and forget about it. SUPRA DAWG all the way.
But then again I drive a V8 so..... :wacko:

s2oooR
I dont like the doors on teh 8 either.... and maybe its only me but the front looks like a smaller version of the S2000 front ???

but yeah, id take the 350 over the 8 :P

......What type of vette do u drive? what year? I wanted a Vette so baddd :tear:

WookeysRX7
my uncle had a 99 convertable vette.... Meh its ok... Nothing special. The interior is really cheap. its almost identical to the camaro interior... If i had to buy a vette it would be a Z06 but if i had that kinda money i still wouldn;'t buy a vette...... he also had a 40th anniversary vette... I like the early 90's interior way better then the c5's!

s2oooR
maybe thats why i didnt get it? lol

import_3000
i chose the bimmer, but id rather want an m5... if i could aford one

I don't drive a vette I WISH.
I drive a FIREHAWK with the LS1-350-V8 engine (Corvette Engine) B) lol

Anyways about the RX8 remember guys they discontinued RX-7s due to the fact that there were so many insurance claims against them due to their motors that's what I heard anyways I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere too so god knows what kind of problems the RX-8s are gonna have.

By the way the HAWKS for sale if anyone is interested go to MARKET PLACE lol

inglewood
yeah i'm actually still thinking about the firehawk...only cuz it's the majorly limited edition version of the firebird...only drawback is that it's an auto... :( but yeah, supra's been done to death...the FandF fad raised sticker prices on that thing SO much that people started looking elsewhere for "cool" cars, and it went down under.

MightyMidget
i chose the 350Z...its a very nice looking car that would not be AS MUCH of a cop magnet as some of the others....

:wtf: They did not discontinue the RX7 because of so many claims. They discontinued them because of the dropping sales. THe reason the sales dropped is cause the prices kept on going up, because it was like an asian super car. Make sure you get your facts straight before throwing your own shit out! no offence or anything.



P.S, wanna lend me your firehawk this friday? I gotta make a run down to Cow-Town, and i'll be back friday night at around 10pm, what'd you think? :bigthumbup:

First off I do got my facts straight due to the fact that I read it in an article lots of RX7s had lots of trouble with their engines. Maybe another reason was that they were too expensive or that they're "SUPER CARS" :rolleyes:

About the Hawk for you to borrow just buy it and it's all yours :unsure:

Have fun in Cow Town

By the way none offence taken some of us just don't read but that's cool :angry:

;) Don't start tryin to flame

s2oooR
I think LS1 was saying that they're pretty rare over here in North America or Canada, in particular. :dunno:

FingerPuppet
How many cylinders is the Viper anyway? 10?

that would be crazy...american cars are raritys in japan. when i was there two summers ago i was snapping pictures of like skylines and shit, and all the cars we don't have here, but those are EVERYWHERE. i saw ONE camero in my entire visit...a black one, all blacked out and everything, i'll scan the photo sometime and post it, along with my other photos of japanese cars.
