both my cars are for sell and as soon as i get rid of at least the 240, im going to get some thing new. I've been kicking my own ass trying to decide what I want to get. First i kept saying mustang over and over, but ive had one already and altho theres alot i like about them, theres pleanty i don't like. Like 14 mpg, their SUV stance, and limited handeling capabalitys. Ive thought about a z-28, and a Dakota 5.9 R/T , but thos would get worse milage then a stang, and as much as I drive i need to be more sensable i think.

Now im pretty dead set on some type of 90's turbo car.

Here are my choices and thoughts about each:

z32 TT - pretty quick, looks awesome, high price tag and insurance

96+ 3000gt VR4 - i like the idea of AWD, but these are fairly hard to find and pricey.

3rd gen rx7 - bad ass cars, however i cant fit.

AWD/gs-t - DSM - pretty easy to find, and alot cheaper then any of the above plus the option of AWD

thos are my thoughts for now. I wanna check out/drive a DSM and see if I like it. their pretty small inside.

I do know that the next car i buy is going to be turbo, and have under 60k miles. thos are my goals.

stealth's have the same powerplant and are a lot cheaper than vr4s. Small turbos, but with a bc, safc, exhaust you will be seeing 12s. Keep in mind there are 2 generations 300hp and 320hp(these have a 6 spd ;) )

dsm's are potent but a lot of small things and sometimes big things tend to break. As i recall on a forum, a person had a quote: DSM's - making mechanics out of regular people since 1989.;)

z32 tt- potent but expensive, and the engine bay is very tight/cramped. The turbos are pretty deep in the bay. But a couple of mods and they are strong as hell. I think you need 2 of everything for this car lol. 2 dps, 2 intakes, etc
FD- great when they are running. great handling as well.

Don't know which of these choices I would go with though. Doh!

Van - If i got a vr-4 it would have to be the 96 up. i'd have ot have a 5 speed. :)

Josh - sorry man but if I get a DSM its gotta be a 5 speed and running correctly no offence. Plus if I get one it'll hafta have less then 60k


I think i kinda like the DSMs i wanna drive one tho and see how it it ergonomicly and how it rides.

Heres a pretty sweet DSM....

94+ = snake eye headlights/projecters/320hp/6spd
There are two distinctive styles of Stealths and 3000gt's: 91-93 which has pop up lights and is referred to as 1st generation. The 2nd generation, 94-99, which has projector headlights, slightly different body styling, 6 speed transmission instead of 5, and 320 hp instead of 300 hp.

http://www.clubecalibra.com.br/area1/vev/3000gt/go.htm

I would rather have the 2nd gen vr4/rt tt because of the 6spd and more hp.

DSM, with turboback exh., mbc, ic piping, definitely bov(stock ones are weak as hell), intake should be in the 13s range. Mid to high 13s are common on the stock t-25 ( aka t 2 small ) if it is the awd model. :40oz:

who wants to bet that whatever allen gets, he will get sick of it in a year, and will buy another car?

josh called and says his car has been repossessed.... I bet you could get a good deal on that except hes getting it back. It was taken b/c of family feuding and such apparently he really pissed his mom off.

I got it back friday but it is still running like sh*t and I wanna get it fixed, but if someone is in mind to buy it for enough for me to get my money out of it then i would consider, it just to get another car and lower my payments.

I doubt you would find a buyer that wants a gsx auto with problems.
