Basically, that's it. What car might you buy at 40K instead of the Evo X? Provided that the Evo is priced at 40K that is.

 

depending on how much to 07 skyline is going o be in 07 I'm getting rid of my 05 evo 8

 

That Skyline will cosy you around 60 grand from what I hear. Once I pay off my evo I'm planning on going for a R33 GTR.

 

You guys need to recheck the Skyline release date which I heard will be an 09 and could be upwards of 60-70 grand. For 40 grand it is hard to find a car with the performance but if you aren't worried about the performance. Audi TT, VW R32, BMW 3 Series, Lexus IS, Infiniti G35, 350Z, the other AWD car unmentionable here, there are rumors again of Mazda doing a 275 horse AWD Mazda 3. Mazda has the AWD Mazda 6 with 275 horse. Lots of choices and I have probably missed a bunch

 

all I know is I'm getting rid of my 8 in 07 which is when the rumored release date is or I might get the x which I think is gonna be a tight car

 

How about 40K if it's used. I mean could one get a used Viper at 40K?

 

Nice z06 with some hotrod parts for 40k, not a brand new one of corse.

 

I would buy a used WS-6 TA and twin turbo it.

 

The new Supra!!

 

LOTUS ELISE!!!

If you buy a skyline it is just like the evo but heavier, I mean yes it is a different car but it is basically the same thing. I dunno for me I would get bored with a skyline, and take an evo anyday. I think people only want it hear in the US cause it is not available. Back in the Philippines it was available yet people would still buy the evo, why is that?

Now the Lotus Elise is a real sports car! Just like the Evo it can keep up with the big boys despite having less power. For me that is what makes a car great.

 

40k i'm buying a 2003 Z06 and supercharging it. and still getting a beater

 

A good looking modded Mustang from Shelby should be around $40K and would be a custom alternative to the GT500



"Big block and small block V8 owners of all types may want to take a second look the next time a "V6" Mustang pulls up to the light as Carroll Shelby International Inc's wholly owned subsidiary Shelby Automobiles, Inc. announces the new Shelby CS 6 Mustang concept vehicle. Shelby Automobiles, known for speed and performance through the leadership of legendary racecar driver and Cobra creator Carroll Shelby, will offer a modified V6-engined 2006 Ford Mustang, dubbed the CS 6.

Packed with a NOVI-1200 Supercharger from Paxton Automotive Corp., the CS 6 is destined to be the next great sports car from Shelby Automobiles pumping out an incredible 350+ horsepower. The Shelby CS 6 will be introduced at the Vortech/Paxton Booth during the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas.

The CS 6 features a Shelby-exclusive Paxton NOVI-1200 Centrifugal Supercharger, unsurpassed in high performance, reliability and quiet operation. The bolt-on NOVI-1200 is based on Paxton's race-proven gear case, helical-cut gears constructed from billet-steel, aerospace-quality high-speed bearings and an air/water charge cooler. The CS 6 will be one of the most powerful supercharger kits for the V6 Mustang available on the market and its 350+ HP is a significant increase over the 210 HP of the stock Mustang and the GT version.

"Shelby Automotive is excited to offer the CS 6 with a focus on balance, performance and affordability," said Amy Boylan, President of Shelby Automobiles. "With the Paxton Supercharger, the suspension modifications and the subtle cosmetic enhancements, the CS 6 will remind enthusiasts of the old GT350 -- fast and strong but light on its feet. There is going to be a lot of excitement from speed aficionados when the CS 6 hits the market."

2005 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Paxton-supercharged Shelby Mustang legacy dating back to the famed GT350 and GT500 programs in the late 1960's. In 1965, Carroll Shelby fitted a prototype Paxton Supercharger to the GT350 starting the Shelby/Paxton relationship. Eleven total Paxton supercharger kits were installed by the Shelby factory and a number of additional kits were sold to customers for retro installation. The CS 6 stands poised to continue the great Shelby/Paxton tradition of producing consummate performance-modified autos.

The Shelby CS 6 is racing-styled in the custom of great Shelby cars from the past but updated to create a unique and modern design. Among the interior and exterior modifications to the CS 6:

That Mustung with its live rear axle is great unless you like going round corners.

 

I was going to say, new def the GT500. Used, MANY options, but the supercharged Z06 would be my choice.
