want to buy a 2007 Pontiac solstice gxp with only 20,000 miles ? down here in texas, a convertible is a poor choice with the heat; thought I'd drive it more as I do love the car; but there's no such thing as top down when it's 95 degrees imo.Quote:

Buy a Toyota mrs. Looks kind of cool, mid engine, drop top, Toyota reliability. Should be pretty cheap I would imagine.
Not a terrible idea!Quote:

I saw so many nice cars on the road today, but has anyone ever noticed that Lamborgini's come in the ugliest colors ever imagined? Isn't it showy enough that you're driving a car that's 250k+, why does it have to be the same color as a fucking Powerade?
Heh, yes. There's a toolbox that lives a neighborhood over with a smurf blue Gallardo Spyder. He fits the stereotype to a T - right down to wearing his Lambo hat and shirt every time he drives it. Tailgates like a motherfucker too on 25-35mph roads.
I know I'm in the minority here and will take some shit for saying this but I'd take a Boxster S over that Gaillardo Spyder all day long.
You can fix that tailgating situation you know.. :)Quote:

Not my fault
Here it is... super fun car, older than the 10 year threshold of the thread, but since it was mentioned....

And one of Toyota's great motors. The long-shuttered Sport Compact Car magazine had a project MR2 for a number of years. In one installment, the project head described what felt like tires lifting off the road on roll-on acceleration. Wish they were a bit bigger. And still made.
A project MR-S also made it's way into the publication.
Edit - Looks like a guy graciously scanned and uploaded articles on the project MR2 to another forum.
Nice example of a 996.1 Aero on BaT. Factory LSD, thorough suspension upgrade, impressive car. Already near $22k with 6 days left... Owner is hoping for 30-33k. More than a newer, powerkit C4S that sold on BaT last month..

130hp vs 580hp, pretty cool

Hey BD - you seeing any decline in the 964 market in the near future? I've been trying to talk myself into a 997, but no luck so far.
This is pretty nice:

But it's no match for this:

Those cup one wheels are fuckin sweet!
Bumping with a request to Beer Drinker to shed light on 964 market dynamic.
don't forget the dark horse option:
- buy a 996 or 997 roller with low miles, heavily optioned
- dole out $35k for a new GT3-Mezger 3.8L engine (400hp / ~300tq)
- total cost = $42k or so
Should be about ~4.0 second 0-60 and 200mph top speed. Very reliable, durable enough to track consistently.
