Never be as good as an stock evo either.

ok...

Evo
350z
RX-8
STi/WRX
Srt-4

u just can't beat an Evo...and i've driven in a 350z...and its pretty quick...and th RX-8 is ok..my friend has an rx-8 and it seems good enough for me lol. i like the STi/WRX on Gran Turismo 3....lol and an SRT-4...i heard that it doesn't handle really well at all...kinda like oldschool muscle cars. but i might be wrong i dunno.

id still love to have a 98 camaro SS with the LT1 engine though...thats my 'affordable' dream car lol than next would probably be a 98 GSX than...but an Evo would come before the GSX but i think i'd take the 'Maro over an Evo....why...standing burnouts...powerslide/drift and i wont have to replace my clutch every 6-10k miles =)

Since you allowed multiple options, I picked them all. They're all very good cars, just different. If I were buying one, the order would be:

Evo
WRX
SRT4
RX8
350Z (only because I don't have a use for another impractical 2 door)

I've actually driven all but the RX-8 so I chose that....I read so much about how well it handles that I wanna give it a spin....it may just be in the running for my next car along with the EVO........

I have driven all of them except the rex and the SRT-4. I would love to test drive the STI tho. Nice car.... RX8 is a beautiful car, but no power. I think madza will bring the turbo model back. THe Z is nice, but I find it hard to drive due to many blind spots. I like my EVO alot more and easy to get power out of. The evo will walk all over those cars listed above. The Z wont even come near the evo on the race track. It's feel too heavy and the steering is too stiff around corners. i think it will make a good drag car once more internal parts are available to help it boost higher.

i didn't vote for evo since i own an evo so driving another evo wont mean much for me..i'd love to drive an wrx (evo's arch-nemesis) or rx8 (never drove rotary before) but i jus picked rx8 cuz im more curious about the feel of an rotary...

I'd take the EVO first because I think it's a great car. Then I'd take the WRX because there's a lot of potential for modification. Out of what's left... I'd have to pick the 350z. But for the record, my ***** is a little bigger than the maximum requirement to buy one of those things.
