Well, I do believe that car wins this thread... But then I read this: http://blog.caranddriver.com/tally-b...ack-to-basics/Quote:

That Morgan is cross-eyed and made of wood.
Doesn't do it for me. Looks like a rehashed version of an old car. Cause it is. I love the old ones, but cmon guys, come up with something new. I feel the same way about the Camano and the challenger, etc... Just because you made something cool back in the day, and nothing cool for years, doesnQuote:

It's more like an homage. When you start looking at the parts there's nothing old-fashioned about it.
There's definitely cars I'd rather have though.

Looks like a 458, with a 918 hood on it.Quote:

Not like that, pervert.
Thanks. A 458 with a off color hood. $250K. Pic is from my nephews FB page. There was a time I wouldn't trust him with my lawn mower, and now he plays with these in his shop.
Is that...Quote:

Could use one on my new ride for helmet fitment. Certainly not the coolest car in this thread, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it so far!

^^ I have a BRZ and yeah, its a fkn hoot! Be careful though or you'll only get 10k out of the rear tires :)
more like you're not using it correctly if you get more than 15k on a set of rears!Quote:

So well balanced. Kinda like a miata. But dear god, this one does need some added balls.Quote:

Somebody here at the office has one. I park close to him sometimes, people almost naturally tend to park the cool cars in the same general area, away from the other cars. Here is my car at the office today.
I made the choice to get something that is just purely fun to drive. I am very happy I did.

Apparently the turbo isn't going to happen. I understand why people want more power, but I happen to think the power levels of the car suit it perfectly. It isn't a competitor to the modern breed of ultra fast GT cars, but a throwback to the simple, rewarding cars of the 80's and early 90's. I had a few 2nd gen RX-7's when I was in high school/college which I adored. This car is just like them with the benefits of being 25 years newer. I do like the low CG from the boxer motor, but if it were up to me, this car would have a 3S-GE Beams engine. Maybe when the warranty is up I'll throw one in there.Quote:

I watch nearly everybody wrestle with corners on tight backroads and I wonder why. Fun as shit to rally with. Heheh... had a good run on the way home tonight with a guy in a blue Rex for about 30 miles.
By the same token something about a 1962 or so Olds 215 V8 with a factory turbo (yes there was one) and a Muncie 4 speed or maybe a Tremec 5 speed would make it fkna perfect methinks.
That Amazon is awesome! A wagon to be proud of.
But why not make it an option?Quote:

Kind of like the old Shelby Mustangs and Cobras. The GT350 and 289 Cobras were the well balanced ones, but they still offered the 427 cobra and GT500 with the huge motors for those who wanted them.
It will as soon as I redo it.Quote:

This should get you moving:

Yeah, that won't void the warranty or anything...
This is my first vehicle that is not a truck or Jeep. Driving is something I really look forward to now. Very happy i decided to splurge and go with the M3. Once i get the suspension all refreshed it will be time to hit a track for some laps.Quote:

I would be just as h happy with a six, if it had good, tight steering and a decent tranny.Quote:

I want one.
Unfortunately, about the only road this Mercedes looker is going to see are the virtual roads of the next Grant Turismo video game. :(
