Car you want to have? [Archive]

What car would you like to own now that you could someone afford though. I mean in your price range if you saved?

I REALLY want a 1994 Acura Legend GS 6-speed :eek: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Damn 230 hp in that thing :bow:
I would love to own that car, I'm obsessed and been bugging my friends the whole day now hehe.

But the thing I want to do is in the next say 1-2 yeras save, and this time I actually mean save money. Invest, do everything I can, and buy that car. Get one with low mileage that is a bit more expnesive than normal prices (with like 30k miles). Then custom turbo it to boost at say 15-20 psi. Wouldn't that be a beast?

I mean people would think...oh well it's a fast legend (I'll change nothing to make it look like it's fast. Sleeper all the way). Then when the boost kicks in...bye bye! :wave:

That's my future "dream" car that I'm beginning to shape up and plan out.
What do you think of my future dream car.

And what would you like?

Ironic....Red Festivas are haunting me. Thursday, in my college's newspaper, there was an article about how one of the delivery guys for a pizza place on campus was beat up and had his car stolen. The kid that stole his 89 red Festiva had just turned 19 that day and stole the car cuz he thought it would be fun. Guess he didn't think about how "fun" it would be being someone's b*tch in jail. Then one of his friends beat the delivery guy up. How stiesty is that???

SVT Cobra

10-20-2002, 12:26 PM

cars i want that i could have gotten or it was possible to get...

96-98 cobra (first choice was 01, but this is a lot easier to finance. with money i saved by gettin a 96 i was able to do some mods and it is faster than an 01)

99, 01 cobra (couldn't find one i really wanted. some overpriced too)

93 RX-7 (no one wants to work on rotaries, plus it's expensive)

99, 01 Trans Am (i like being able to see over the hood, and have a comfortable back seat though)

what do you guys think of the miata race? The "race" was important by a guy at work i know and he is currently paying off the lease on it. Its $700/month and he wants to get another car. This is a one of a kind car in North America and well the thought crossed my mind if i should pick up the rest of his lease so he can get a new car.

Comments?

no no no, its not a regular miata. Its like the Honda type R but they call it RACE its the mx-5 miata race. Its only avaible in Japan and this guy had it imported because he known someone who knows someone.

Now what do you thik?

i want a 94 accord sedan running low 12's....ive got the first part down.
also cars on my wish list: 240sx, corolla ae86, 5th gen civic hatch (boring, i know), foxbody mustang (5.0 of course), and mr2 (the generation before the current ugly one)

ChrisCantSkate

10-22-2002, 01:28 AM

a ae86 would be fun! im looking into the turbo mr2's, those look interesting too! i want something that i can have tons of fun with for my next car.

Mushroom

10-22-2002, 08:03 AM

Unfortunately, I need something with a little more room for road trips... WRX, A4 or an IS300 would be in my range, although I haven't investigated how much nicer I could get by looking a few years old...

10-22-2002, 09:17 AM

Well...It's not what I want. It's what I want back. See...I used to own a 1997 Limited Edition Jet Black Toyota Supra Turbo. Can we say screamin! Yep...thanks to a Drunk driver who decided to drive on my side of the road one night, I dont have that car anymore. So yes....I want MY car back! :no: :no: :no:

Hmm...I'd have to say my old 1995 Camaro Z28 six speed droptop. :)

As for a new car, I dunno. There really isn't a lot out there this year that I want to drive that much. Plus, I've really got a dueling interesting in backpacking Europe again or a twin turbo something.

is300, 330i or xi but probably i, M3, M5 (a big stretch on affordability), Supra. Those are for the really nice rides, but I wouldn't mind having a quick Matrix or MX5, or S2000.

There are cars that aren't offered in the US that I wouldn't mind having.....but I'll keep it to USDM cars.

v6 mustangs are gay. i owned one at one point. a beastly 96 v6 automatic... LOOK OUT.

i respect camaros. they are definitly fast, but ugly... very ugly.
mustangs sound a lot better too. a 350ci (93-97 LT1) that will lose to a 281ci (96-98 4v DOHC) with a good driver isn't too impressive.

Kyle

10-23-2002, 07:26 PM

Yeah...camaros are horrendous...
And v8 mustangs...with the right exhaust system...sound SOOOO sweet...
i can't really explain it...with hondas...it's like the air is coming outt of a tight mouth...but with mustangs, it's like the mouth is wide open, and it's just screaming...i love it...

I don't know if my analogy was good...can't really explain it...

i cant see myself owning a mustang or camaro - just not my style of car - but some of em sound very sweet. unlike 98% of the farts on wheels i see on the road. :cool:

ChrisCantSkate

10-23-2002, 08:04 PM

i love the sound of a car with a good exaust and radical cams. i herd a cobra at the track that sounded like it was kicking to stay alive(in a good way) but i also love the sound of a well tuned import. i have mixed feelings about mustangs and camaros.they are completly not me and can never see myself owning a new one, but i cant bash the styling too much. mustangs are a bit boxy for me and camaros/trans ams are just not me. i would LOVE an old camaro or mustang fast back. if i was going to get a GM sports car, i'd probobly just get a corvette. much more apealing to me.

Yeah the R32 is a sweet car. It'll be sweet if it ever makes it here. When it does, let's hope they haven't 'gay-a-fied' it. Realisticly I'd go with a Jetta 1.8T.
I just like the looks & the power it has. Not to mention its practical (sedan). In black of course
