If you could have another car...

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

If you could have any other car realistically around the same price range of an Evo, what would it be? I'm not talking about fantasy cars here, I mean actual cars that you could actually purchase.

I have always wanted to track down a real Silvia as a nice project, but just never really went any further in finding out how to do it legally.

[ryanowarrior]

2010 SS Camaro, always been a chevy fan, mostly the old school cars

[Evolvedgti]

Used Z06, with STS turbo kit!

[shunderwunder]

I'm with Ryano on this one, but since my Evo was purchased used & at the far end of my budget I'd have to wait a couple years for a used one. So as what I would most likely get a used STI since that was what I wanted for a while anyway. Or a Fox body mustang with lots of money left over for mods.

[ryanowarrior]

^^ yea i always wanted the 05 STI myself, thats what got me started into cars like ours. love the rumble of the STI

I like that idea ;) what year were you thinking?



Also considered one of the new 09 STi's myself. I test drove one and was actually impressed. Far more technology in them than there is in the Evo's.

Im thinking of picking up a 06 or 07/08 in say 2010 or 11. That should be in the 25-35k range by then! maybe. its a dream. I will probably get me another bike after i buy the wife a car here shortly!I just looked at craigslist and 01-03's are going for mid 20's currently. so two more years, it is likely!

[Hikaru]

I would love to have a JDM s15 but in reality I would just like a really nice daily. Used Tahoe, Grand Cherokee, ect...

If you get it, I want a ride :) The C6 Z06's are amazing cars.

[Dangeruss]

Used MKIV Supra. Preferably white with Getrag 6 speed and be a hardtop.

Edit: Possibly even an NA1 generation NSX aslo.

[TouringBubble]

Vauxhall VX220 Turbo, or Saturn Sky Redline if I couldn't get the Vauxhall. Otherwise, a used Elise. I'd also consider a new and modded Volvo C30.

[mouse]

Porsche RS America, Porsche 911 SC, or a track/ street Prepared 964 or 993. I can fix them for cheap so they are affordable to me.


PS non modded C30's are the price of a new Evo IX, around 30 grand for one with some options. Saturn??? Why not an S2000. You would not be disapointed.

[manchi]

The new 370z seems nice to me.

[em1toevo]

I've always wanted an '04 blue VW R32. I test drive one, and they are pretty fun little cars!

A new C30 is like $28k nicely equipped ... my Evo was $35k. the Vauxhall is a MR drivetrain and boosted ... the S2K is not. :) S2Ks are also a dime a dozen and no one has the Vauxhall here. Obviously, there is a reason for that and why I said the Sky would be a second choice ... it shares many of the styling queues and the drivetrain.

[TripperFx3]

I'd actually love to do an SC300 project. Drop a 1JZ-GTE and do it all JDM stylie! I'd love to do a good mix of bippu style mixed with drifter and actually drift the car. Either that, or now they are in the price range, but a 2001 GS300 and drop a 2JZ in it, but that I would just keep as a really fast bippu crusier!

Isn't the Sky/Solstice FR lay out though? Just clarifying?

[TouringBubble]

You're right ... I'm sad now. =(

[mouse]

I also was looking at the Volvo R cars, used CTS-V's, used E46 M3's, and STI's before I found my Evo.

[GoBoost]

Def the corvette. My next car will probably be american muscle since i've had 2 imports in a row.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

So after this weekend I definitely decided I would get a Lotus Exige S 240 if I could get another car. Absolutely amazing little car.

So i take it you drove one? It would be way to tight for a daily right?

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

ya I drove one for a few hours on Road Atlanta. Amazing little car. It would suck to be a daily, but it's a blast as a weekend car. It's about as close as you can come to a full size go kart.

[nomorevtec]

yea i bet. Ive never driven one, but i sat in one. The seat is like a half inch of the floor board lol. I bet it does handle great though

[mouse]

Just went for a ride in a 1976 Porsche 934!!! OMG 2200 lbs. and 535 Hp to the rear 14" wide tires!!!!

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

lol nice, sounds like a blast

[shunderwunder]

The Lotus is nice, but unfortunately I'm too big to drive it resonably. My knees are too close to the steering wheel. I'd love to get an Ariel Atom, but I don't think it will ever be in the cards. I doubt there is any more rome in it that an Elise/Exige though.

[TripperFx3]

Theres a woman that drives her Exige S almost daily as long as its nice out. Summer or winter.

I'm impressed a woman would buy a street legal track car like the Exige.:eek:

[EclipsEvo8]

I would buy a Ford F-150 pickup truck. There's plenty of times throughout the year where I have to buy pine straw for the house or purchase something that doesn't fit in the Evo. It would be nice to have a truck to haul large items.

[shunderwunder]

^ Suprisingly enough I miss my MINI for stuff like that. That thing has way more room than you would think. I remember getting strange looks when I was at Lowes loading it full of base board & then shut the hatch no problem.

[em1toevo]

A truck would definitely be nice. I have often needed to borrow someone's truck when the Evo just wouldn't cut it. Often times it was just a matter of the rear seats in the Evo not being able to lay down to allow access to the cabin of the car for longer items.

Call me crazy, but I really like the look of the new SS Camaro.

[mymivec08]

The responsible mom thing to get would be something like a tahoe........but I would rather have an s15 or an r32 lol. If I need to haul something, that's what friends are for haha

[TripperFx3]

S15's are sexy ass cars! Its been my dream car for years!

[jamsky]

A used BMW M3 is fine with me.......

[shunderwunder]

^ I got one that will be for sale soon. ;)

[GTLimer]

I'd purchase an 06-07 BMW M5 if i had enough garage space...

[em1toevo]

Garage space is the least of my worries. An M5 is super expensive!

[GTLimer]

Its not that bad, you can find an 06-07 with 20k miles for between 40-50k in mint condition.

[Feffman]

How about an Aston Martin Vantage V8? I'm shocked at how they've dropped in price to about 1/2 the 1st/2nd year new price. No back seat, but that's what sedans are for.

Feff

[VIIIrs]

I've always always wanted a Vr4!!!!!!!

You sir have great taste in cars. I love Aston's. My favorite still goes to the DBS.

[TouringBubble]

I'd also love to have an FD project, or an RS4 if I could find one.

[Evolvedgti]

Galant or GTO?

Galant or GTO?

The GTO!

[Evolvedgti]

see, I would prefer the Galant. total sleeper. the GTO looks fast, but not the Galant.

Totally agree the Galant is a sleeper, I just remeber the 3000 was the first turbo car that cought my eye, i tried finding one as my first car but could never find one!

[Evolvedgti]

I can understand that. Noting like your first love 'car' that is.

[em1toevo]

I have always wanted to drive an RS4.

haha ya i don't blame ya nice ride!!!

[Strokedt67]

Used C6 Z06's are as low as $38,000 so in another year they will be worth it. I feel better paying $35K then $77K for the same performance. High miles don't bother me since i'm going to freshen up the motor anyways. :P

[bomjoon]

audi r8 white with cf trim pieces.

[ThundersEvoX]

I wouldn't mind having a 87 Buick GNX. Nice looking car, and fast..just not a good handling car.

[Strokedt67]

Yummy.

[Apex i ITR]

Settling for a used 2008 CBR 1000 RR and Honda Civic hatch back next year the year after that a S2000 as a daily driver. The year after that the Hatch gets a K Series and full JDM treatment (RHD and everthing). Wife wants a CRV next year (trying to convince her to get a MDX) and she wants to start an S14 project the year after.

[em1toevo]

Sounds like you've got it all planned out!

[Apex i ITR]

Been around long enough to know that what I detailed are called goals. Hoepfully I can make them. LOL. We'll see.
