Default What will be your next car??

I went car shopping last night...my Monte was more a starter V8 car for me.

Drove an Auto GTO....the M6 would be more 'fun' but I couldn't even drive the Auto...not enough legroom...I was bummed.

So it looks like I will either be squeezing into a G8(4 doors are hard for me to get into)

Or....I might grab up a Plum Crazy Purple SRT-8 Challenger M6...they are huge, which is what I guess I need..I fit great!!


Clifs: GTO = no go...too tall

G8 GT/GXP = if I can get past the 4 door car thing

SRT-8 = Probably what I will do...even though I love the LSx engines...





Long post I know...just wanted to see what everyone else is dreaming of.

Maybe in a couple years a Supercharged G8 GT (once they reach less than $20k).

I want pure Detroit muscle, either a GTO, Challenger, or Chevelle. Maybe a Fox body with an LSx engine. Or another RX-7, lol.

It's a California Special, just decals and stuff. The hood and everything else is aftermarket. I almost bought one for my wife a few months ago, the fog light were centered on it, it was sexy. I still see it from time to time.

That was 3 separate statements. Either muscle, fox, or RX-7, which would receive a LSx too.

Also, eye candy

I'm a true unexaggerated mostly legs 6'6" (if you're tall you know how common it is to run into guys who claim to be a certain height but are in reallity about 2 to 3 inches shorter) and had no problem driving the manual '06 GTO that I test drove. The car just didn't feel as quick as it should have for the horsepower it had.
