If U had 40k to spend on a non-lancer car, what would u get?

[Mizta B]

Me I'd go for a nice Skyline R32/33/34 plus mods
An American classic - Pontiac GTO/Dodge Charger/GT500 Mustang/ Shelby Cobra etc or an Aussie muscle car - SLR 5000 Torana/XY HO/ Monaro - roughies but rebuildable.............

Either the new WRX ($39,990), yes they look crap but pull 0-100 in 4.7 stock which is even faster than the more expensive STI.

Or a 2nd hand 350Z

Now if I lived somewhere more sunny then niether as I would get a Ducati 1098

0-100 in 4.7?
is that a typo?

Its a typo alright!!!! The new WRX doesn't like to be launched hard (screaches wheels) The bigger turbo makes up for this problem, but it still can't get past 5.2 in all tests I've seen on net. Its worth buying if you like driving a 'busted nutsack'!!!!!

No That's what I have read in a few different reviews and was verified by GPS. Even at 5.2, apart from looking horrible it's still a performance bargin at under $40k.

I would love to see a video on youtube of this 4.7 secs. Not even Subaru themself think the car can do that.......If you find these reviews, please post an address. For 195kw in a car as heavy as it is (lighter than RA and last model WRX) I still don't believe it!!!!

R33 GTS-T Series 2 (1996) ($12,000), $18,000 for mods and $10,000 for usable supplies (tyres, body kit replacement), specifically tuned for drifting...

Wait, I'm doing that now! ^_^

Checked out the car on Sat. Looks good; I'm going ahead with the sale ^_^

Toyota JZX 100




Comes with a 1jz 2.5LT turbo, and is faster then any WRX/EVO/SKYLINE and with less then 5k put into it (still under the 40k) you can have 400RWHP no probs.

Just cause it's printed doesn't mean it true but this time is quoted in a few reviews. Subaru aren't going to list a time like this as to attempt it means a fair flogging of the gearbox and clutch.

Even if it is 4.7 it still can't make up for the looks

[Superintendent Chalmers]

I don't think 'Car and driver' has much of a reputation when it comes to reviews.........0-60mph in 4.7 - 60 mph is aprox 96 km/hr. It will take a fraction of a second to get to 100 so prob 4.85 from their estimate. Bottom line - until we see it in person, it aint true!!!!! All You-tube vids show how it doesn't like to be launched hard, but makes up for it when the turbo kicks in. Sure, I would love that kind of performance out of my RA, but I don't think Subie would make the car that fast due to elimination of STI sales!!!! (It would only take a few minor mods to get that kind of performance though , but I still wouldn't get the spawn of a KIA/CAMRY WR-ecks!!!!!)

i wouldnt sell my commodore and pour 40g into that. (just on the motor and drive train. ohhh yeah.

or a deposit on a Plymouth Superbird

[spunkybob]

OMG... its soo horrid that i want 1 just for all the looks id get

[bd-850]

If one is cool enought for Joe Dirt, im sure its cool enough for me.
