Geezus what is that smurfy thing? I guarantee a Z06 or Viper will beat the pants off it for less money.

Bog standard TVR Tuscan:

0-60 4.2 secs
0-100 9.6 secs
Max speed 180mph

cost ~40K GBP (which given how car prices (e.g. in the rip off stakes) go in the uk prob means ~50-60K US). Not sure how that compares with a Viper. However the Tuscan can actually turn rather than just motor ina straight line...

They can turn, but not like a Tuscan

I doubt that very much.

That's OK all we need to do is buy a Tuscan and a Vette and drive them along european country roads at high speed to solve the argument. Call me when I have 150K pounds spare

Raub, earn free beer for one evening at next years cons by doing the following:

Test drive your new Mustang GT, then test drive one of the following Pre-owned 100,000 mile extended warranty BMW's in either of the following models:

95-99 M3
or
99(2.8L 328)- 2001(3.0L 330)

Test drive them both on the same road, preferably curves and a straight away. Check your sweep hand on a wrist watch before entering this imaginary "course" you've preset for your test drive. Then post the results and comments.

For roughly the same price (and alittle lower in the 3 series), you get just as nice of bang for buck with good handling to boot. You just have to get over the crap people label you as when you're an owner.

(P.S. Be sure that the 330 2000 or the early 2001 models have the retro-fitted steering, BMW made a BIG mistake by giving their steering the American "power steering feel" and totally screwed up the 3-series, then recalled them all to retro the tradition BMW steering back into them)

Well, screw you all, I didn't even make it to the Ford dealership.

Ended up getting a forest green Mazda Miata hehe.

Congrats! My $5 bill with Lincoln blinking from the sunlight won't have to see sunlight after all!

Post a pic, what year? If you ever make it up to the Northwest I'll set ya up with the "Roadster Gal" of the Miata club up here, but you'll have to listen to her liberal persuasions

Uncle Sam doesn't pay me enough for a Porsche

It's a 1999 with 30k miles.

But what's that red car in the background, it's not........it is.

I thought Uncle Sam had a "don't ask don't tell policy".

Raubvogel,

Get the Mustang GT or the Cobra. It is a true chick magnet. Have fun, don't worry, and try to stay alive, as this too will pass, and soon you will be driving a Honda Accord.
