I wasn't saying buy a NEW car and mod the shit out of it cuz thats just stupid. I meant that if you put that $$$ difference into the suby it would dominate. TRUE is yer statement about target consumers. I think that Subaru has found it's niche with the Legacy GT. It has the hp, handleing and comfort of a much more expensive comparable car. Euro editions are what the car companies designed the car to be but for for some odd reason they restict the shit out of em here. The GTO here and the Austrailian GTO is way different. Hell, the Focus SVT isn't even as built as the euro edition.

I can't wait to see the GTR does here. Although at a base of $60k, there isn't much domestic in that $$ range.

If you could find a GTR at MSRP, it would be unstoppable. Unfortunately the things are extremely rare, demands are sky high, and the production line is very slow. As such, you must expect to pay at least $20k over MSRP to get one any time soon. Apparently the things are a dog for service costs as well, though that's not normally something a person who buys a Skyline would care about anyways.

I remember hearing that the ENZO's basic maintainance was like $20k. :shock:
A muffler for the damn thing was like $15K also. :shock:


There is only 2 domestics that I'd buy.(saying I had the $$$) The SUPER BEE Charger and the HEMI 300M. I love the look of the 300 on 22's. :drool:

The gtr is nice. Unstopable, nah.. the z06 corvette is slightly quicker in the quartermile, but the gtr is slghtly quicker in a curvy track. Also keep in mind that the chevy is n/a With a turbo, or sc, it would get quite ugly 8) Their is always something out there bigger and badder. Here is the new saleen

Back to the subject of the 30k region, the pontiac g8 will run circles around the gt, and the wrx. Not so sure about on a curvy track, but I must admit the new g8 is a beast for the price..

The Z06 and GTR post pretty much the same straight line and 1/4 mile numbers. I wouldn't say there's any winner between the two. As for "slightly quicker" on a curvy track, R&T got 5 seconds difference at Buttonwillow. 5 seconds is a COLOSSAL difference in one lap.

I'll hold my breath for a Manual version. Until then, it's not a driver's car.

Dunno man. I do know that top gear picked the Z06 as car of the year last year I think. It beat out the real shit. They have access to the finest vehicles in the world.

The new camaros gonna be a fucking beast. Hell mines no slouch compared to 90% of the cars on the road and I still get 28mpg on the freeway.

Japanese cars and low end american cars all look alike. They have no character and all the fart cans, stickers and gay ass wings cant change the fact the a civic is a civic and a focus is a focus.

Oh, I have no doubt that the zo6 can handle well, just not aswell as alot of the exotics. Then again, the guy from top gear only drives 200+ thousand dollar euros, so im sure his definition of cars that can handle are much more strict than others :lol:

Just had to add this.....

To follow on from that, I believe that he did in fact buy the car back from Ford, but has now sold it and moved on to a Lambo Gallardo.

Mac I'm not trying to bust your bubble but the Falcon we get here is an in-line 4.0 (260Hp)with a single turbo option (360Hp). The 5.4 V8 is good for 390Hp.

Now, they do a GT version with 404Hp but now we're talking serious $$$
