I have a wierd feeling the fox bodys are going to be going up in price soon than later

My dad has a 91 black on black Z28 convertible, excellent shape I would love to put an LQ4 w/ turbo in that beast.

GM (Government Motors) doesn't really produce anything anymore that appeals to me. Yes, that specifically includes the fugly Camaro.

SRT8 Challenger? - The one "retro" that was done right, but it's a Chrysler.

If it wasn't for the small rear seat and trunk, the 2011 5.0 Mustang would be the ticket. Like the looks and it's quicker than either the Camaro or Challenger.

BMW M3? Like the looks and performance (0-60 in ~4.4, stock quarter ~12.7). Optioned up price - $60k (pass).

Hate to say it, but I'll probably go "rice": EVO or STI

EVOs and STis aren't rice, I looked at them but insurance was WAY too outrageous.

"Rice" in the generic sense of a Japanese vehicle...you wouldn'd find any ricer body kits/spoilers on my vehicle.

Insurance - based on a on-line quote from my insurance co, not much different from the GXP, a bit higher, but only $200/yr or so. Then again, I'm starting to push 50, might be a different story for someone <25.

That's not my definition of 'rice,' Rice Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. Gaudy body kit, Folger's muffler, giant spoiler, etc. Also driving like a complete dick through traffic, redlining the whole time.

i was thinking economical dd that i can build to around 400whp, dont need any more then that, hell i dont even need all that much lol but ill be happy with it..
maybe an sti.. no thank you to an evo eww
or stay american and get a g8 sedan, twin turbo it.. i saw a post on the g8 section a guys running a g8gt twin turbo with a tune intake and exhaust for his daily driver.. i figured, why not get good power and good mileage at the same time with the v6.. heavy as hell, but still looks nice and handles nice WITH 4 doors AND like my impala SS, prettyy damn rare so dont gotta worry about seeing em alot on the road..

maybe even an infinity g35/37 and... twin turbo it lol
eitherway i dont plan on keeping it stock but not heavily modded either.. just have fun with it..

Once the price drops to under $35K the 09+ Caddy CTS-V will replace my GXP.

I've already seen them for $45K so maybe another couple of years????

This is what I want!



It's an Audi RS4, 420hp 317tq. I've always liked the Audi even though they are expensive!

I raced an Audi S4 when I first got the Imp and he walked me pretty good and he was stock!
