oh god, please don't get this car because of the cool factor. If you have previous experience with a sportscar and feel very capable with your skills ( and I dont mean dragging down the streets) then maybe you should consider getting an evo. If not please dont do it to yourself and to us all, get a less hp car. Think of it this way-- its like if you just started to learn how to shoot a gun and then decide to get a 44 MAGNUM.

Yea for real. The g35 coupe is mad nice. You cant go wrong with it. Its not exactly SLOW either. Like the above post, dont get a car because you'll think you'll look cool or becuase your 15 or because you want to get girls or impress people. Get it for yourself and only yourself. Otherwise get a honda.

Just remember this..... Both cars are very expensive to repair and or maintain!! Remember also, it's not just the payment and insurance you have to account for...

Well, this car won't get the girls.. Its cool looking in a guy sorta way.. but chicks like ricers with decals, or low riding ratty hondas.. From a visual perspective, this car is a glorified Lancer.. to the chicks, its just a lancer.. We all know differently and thats why we are different.. The EVO rocks.. but It won't get the chicks..

maybe you haven't seen this car in person, if this car doesn't grab any attention with you then maybe its just you kidding. this car is extremely hot, any angle you look at it . It does scream rice for the most part. Just wait till you see it

Because of Markup, that's why I went with a Cobra. I got my 03 Cobra for $33,500 - that includes the $1000 gas guzzler tax, destination charge, and optional 17" SVT chrome wheels.

I actually checked out the SVT Lightning and Cobra in addition to the IS300 and 350Z.. It was the AWD that sold me on this car.. Not so much the looks.. But I've heard alot of people say so far that the car is MUCH nicer in real life than on the pics.. I hope so.. I Drive a neon.. its kinda like being Vehicularly Castrated..

Oh, nevermind, I forgot that 78 is when A-bodies became G-bodies and went to more boxy and less UGLY styling...

bet that dart is pretty phat though.
