Price range is a helpful known point.

Vette has a whole lot of back seat room... And, it's not that expensive to get into, but the tires are a bitch to buy and you WILL go through them.

Hell, why not an M3? Backseat, plenty of power and handling...

Yeah, I gave M3 a thought too but without know price range... Shit, maybe a Cadillac CTS-V for that matter!

Oooooo, I'd say R8 - except for that whole backseat thing.

Do you mean a RX-8 because they have a small back seat... very small...

Nah, man.... think Audi. I rode in one the other day at the track. Freaking AWESOME car. It has a bit of a pricetag though.

Hmm I'm not familiar with Audi's product line... I used to have an Alfa Romero that I loved! What a great car! Heck, I'd love to have another Opel Manta Gt! Shit, without a price range, there are literally dozens, perhaps hundreds of choices!

Oh are we getting crazy? Fine how about my buddy's '88 (I think) Pontiac Fiero with a Supercharged 3.8? Not to mention all of the Fieros that got V8s dropped into them...

One of the reasons I drug my S10 out of the field today is I wanted to get it working, but in a few years once I have a decent job I want to put a v8 into it like I've planned since I was 15.

That's providing every V8 isn't destroyed from Cash for Clunkers.

You know, if my finances were different and I wanted a new car, it would be hard to pass up! They have a white RX8 that has a $5000 rebate on it now. Add the $4500 for the CFC program and that makes a hard deal to pass up! I actually like my Bonneville, it's very comfortable. Which is nice after getting off my GSXR but I've liked those RX8s since they came out! Besides, I had a RX7 when I was younger and it was easily one of my favorite cars!
