S4 is a sexy beast.

I definitely miss driving stick but the SST is so much better on the track.

I haven't test driven the new mustang but Ford is a lot better than it was in the past.

The Z is good for a second car. I couldn't imagine that as my only car but I carry a lot of crap around.

WRX would be nice. I never liked the new styling though.

Good luck with your next car. Let us know what you get and how it is compared to the Ralliart

I am not a Mustang fan but the new 2011 5.0 Mustang is on par with the new M3 performance wise. Search google for the video.

Hey everyone

Don't worry I'm not going with the v6 mustang, but i was at a ford dealer today and found out with the 2010 gt's I can get like 6000 knocked off price. It's a tempting deal. Here's a pic of it:


I was also at a nissan dealer and fell in love with a 370z I came across. A base but with the sport package: sport brakes, rays rims, spoilers, but they wouldn't come down from the price so had to pass. Looking for used I could afford or go with a 350z which I can easily afford. So i came across this one. I think its a fully load even though its not advertised as so:

imo, pass on the 370z. Some enthusiasts and journalists comment that while it may look sharp now, it's a bit too edgy and that it "won't age well" compared to past Z cars. I thought it was the most retarded comment you could make about the 370z, but the more I look at it, the more I have to agree.

If you look back to the 300ZX, that car aged well. The 350z seems to be aging moderately well (riced out 350z's seem to hurt the image), but the more and more I look at the 370z, idk...then again I don't like coupe's at all. end decision is up to you.

Good luck with the blind spots on the Camaro. I had one before my Ralliart and ****, what a pain in the *** to park in the city. Big, bulky, wide, long, and hard to see out of... from the front and the back. Looks good tho, and tons of power lol

How about an 06 Legacy 2.5GT spec B? Its nice, has performance and relatively inexpensive, And at least you kno there is less chance of it being ragged on by the previous owner.

What's opinions on a z4 convertible? they look nice.

But I think the Z is my choice.

I can see why people would say the 370z wouldn't age well, I think its a love it or hate it design so I'm sure it'll sell in the future just to the right person. So far I can't find the one I want that I can afford used. Can't afford new.

And I couldn't afford a new 5.0 gt haha. My best bet if I did do mustang is that 2010 gt but I doubt i'll get it lol

z4's are a helluva lot more masculine than the old z3s. They try to be a quasi retro design mimic'ing old school British roadsters, particularly the Austin Healey 3000, which was a beast of a car back in the 60s. 2000lb car with a 3L straight 6 in it...

Reviews on the Z4 are a love it or hate it afair, like the Z. Some say it's too confused on what it wants to be; cushy comfortable daily cruiser, or beast of a machine type split personality, but doesn't do either particularly well...

I personally don't care for them that much. Then again, I could be hating on them cause I see them almost as much as Honda Civics where I live and where I work. Not a big fan of bimmers in general. Early 90's / late 80's M3 (the first M3) was the last BMW I ~really~ liked

You'll look like a hair dresser or someone going through a mid-life crisis. If you were going the covertible route, get a used Miata and mod the hell out of it. Edmunds is doing a build up of a first-gen Miata. With coil overs and the stock tires they were hitting .95g on the skid pad.

I am suprised that not one person brought up the genesis coupe.....

I would own that car in a heartbeat... rwd, turbo, cheap, geez, they are like 20-22k new!

Tons of potential, basic bolt ons and you have yourself a very fun ride...

that would be my vote before the mustang, s2k, the 350(370)Z....

I was going to mention it but it is super slow in stock form and has some very nice blind spots. However i do like the car and it'll probably the only coupe on the market that i would buy.
