Hmm you sure it's not a biturbo H-6? Sounds an awful lot like the upcoming Legacy STi. Looks like Saab has become the new Geo.

Not in a million years. Maybe an old 240... but a 350? Its a Maxima with a pointy hood.

Yeah 350Z does not impress me at all. Not a hell of a lot of speed for the price and it's butt ugly.
Skyline GTR gives me major wood though. GOJIRA!!!

I see plenty of 1970's SAABs and VOLVO's drivinng in Sweden.

Wold you rather buy a car from a company that makes cars and ...cars or from one that makes cars and COOL fighters?

Am a prop/jet-head, so the choice is made for me

. Can see some overenthusiastic engineer saying 'hm, so how do we get the afterburner into THIS one?'

If you are gonna spend that kinda money, get something that stands out from the crowd...

Shame they stopped making the Skyline GTR, one of my all time favourite cars.

I've come to the conclusion that the best Japanese sportscar is the Evo VII, although I don't know much about the Evo VIII.

They screwed the pooch on the Scooby styling with the round headlights and the new version doesn't make up for it (although the STi version isn't bad). I saw a Turbo 2000 Scooby in midnight blue with 17" gold spokes/silver rim alloys - only 3 years old and still looking hot.

Then I test drove a Mini Cooper S. Now that's a car - it's like a racing kart. Soooo much fun on around twisty roads and is very nippy too. The 6 speed box should have closer ratios though, but it's nice and smooth the way it is. Some people say the noise of the supercharger is annoying, but I loved it; I've always wanted a turbo or supercharger enhanced car.

I have yet to drive a Mini - but Ive never heard a bad word about them.

Mini D - how much boost can the engine handle?

Dowding · « **Reply #38 on:** April 17, 2003, 10:15:19 AM »

No idea. I wouldn't be inclined to mess around with the engine other than maybe get the machine chipped.

I hate the original mini. Stupid death trap. But the new mini is not only very safe, but it looks the business too.

I've seen a few of the SC mini's on the Autocross circut.. Their nice and sport.. handle great. But for the twisties Miata all the way hehe..

Next year mine will be Forced Induction....watch out Boxers.

Blah FWD sucks.

nuchpatrick · « **Reply #41 on:** April 17, 2003, 04:16:19 PM »

Yean can we say understeer...

Saurdaukar · « **Reply #42 on:** April 17, 2003, 07:24:26 PM »

AWD suffers from understeer too.

If youre going to the track, RWD is the only way to go.
