I want a new car... What should I buy.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Ok I think I want a 2 door because I never use my back seat... I want something more Sporty... I really want something really Fast!

I really like the Z4 M but i don't know how much it will cost to keep on the road...

Heres Why I like the Z4Mhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmgPN5tqYU0

The Corvette is cheep for the power and Has very cheep mods but I wonder if the z4m is faster?

I love the Class of the SC

Boxster S might be expensive to keep on the road!

I love the 350z but I think I want something with a little more power!

What do you guys think?

Oh and can you tell I want something with a convertible roof

My vote is to keep the Sedan and boost that mofo. It's way more practical and it's always nice having more room, JUST IN CASE you need it...

And, it's always nice to surprise people with your "family car".

You're making it hard. Making us choose between horse,cow,donkey,monkey,whale, dog,seagull s*** and a 350Z roadster. The 370z roadster will be here soon and it will be a full second(almost) faster in the quarter than a 350Z. I'll tell you right now. Hell no on the "modified V6 backwards engineered" VW Beetle convertible. Hell no on the H-word Slow2thousand, the SC430 is a car for cougars and retired ****s. The Corvette and M3 are the only options. The Vette is faster, but cheap build quality and terrible in an accident. The M3 will require deep pockets, but eh, its got 4 seats, go get the G37 Convertible In that case. The Z4 is alright, but for me, if I had to be in your shoes, I would pick between a Vette and an M3. If undecided, I wait for the G37 Convertible.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

I don't want to spend 45k for the G37 vert.

I can get a z4M for about 23k for a 2006

The Nice thing about the vet is that it is good on gas because i drive over 70 miles a day! The Vette also sounds the nicest! But they are built like crap...

I am really lost on what to buy!

Oh and I am very biased with the SC

DJ

[johnparkyourcar]

I'd say either the S2k or the 350Z. Have you seen the prices on first gen S2ks?? I think I've seen one go for as low as $8k. and with the money you save you can put it towards mods. OR you can get the 350Z. It'll be convenient since you already have a VQ and will be familiar with the engine.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

I just don't think the Z has what I want for power...

I am really leaning towards the C6 Vette with the Z51 Package

DJ

[johnparkyourcar]

I think you can go ahead and scratch the boxter off the list... the s2k outperforms it you know... and where is this money to fund a new car coming from?? especially with the economy like this right now..

how about actually a new car. like the GTR maybe?

[4drmadness]

umm my first choice would be an m3.U can also get the s2k. get the s2k for 7k. put another 4k on a turbo, and another 3 k on suspension and exhaust. u will be close to 345-370 ft lbs, and you will handle pretty good.third choice would be corvette, love the power of it, but just dont really like the look of it. i dont like how like the car is as well.

This is the time when we can save a fellow sedan owner.

Tampa stay with your sedan. Just treat yourself with something and get FI.

You don't need a cop magnet. Also you might end up like G or Joe and have a baby soon. Than you end up crying for more room. LOL

[4drmadness]

yea i was gona suggest going FI with the sedan. the vq motor can safely run less than 400 hp. GO FI!!!! if u do you will get 4 doors, luxury, reliabilty, speed, n handling, jus get some sway bars. THIS WILL be the perfect car for ur needs. y look at someones elses back yard, when you have roses in your own garden. . hopefully that analogy made sense, lol.

yea thats why g35 coupe is perfect....backseat unlike the 350z.

[4drmadness]

he wants a much faster car, the coupe is actually slower than the sedan when comparing the same year due to more weight, but that is very debatable. bottom line is the sedan and coupe are very similar in their perfromance. JUST GET A TWIN TURBO

[SVTCOBRA]

Saw a slightly used vette convert manual at my local chevy dealer that only had 3K miles on it. Asking $38K....red with tan top. They had the new ones marked down too, but thought 38K was pretty good.

If you are looking for someting faster, and can live without a trunk, go with a 350Z! They are very fun to drive!! Or, the 370Z. Has been getting great reviews. Or, pick up a left over G37C for around $34K Infiniti is offering .9 % rate for 72 months.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Ok Boys... Let me explain something to you guys... I always Pay Cash for my cars... Best and only thing I have ever learned from my dad!

I really want a Vert. I drive with the windows down and sun roof open every day! It is only me and My Gf... Plus when I have to go with more people we take the Jeep or their car. I really don't like people in my car!

I drive back and forth to Tampa every day and i drive over 500 miles a week. I love the look of a vert and I really think that is what I want...

But I am staying away from the Miata.

DJ

[G_whizz]

Best thing IMO is to keep what you have and go TT or SC.

If you are deadset against it and want raw powerz...go vette.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

I think I want a change. I don't want a 4 door anymore...

I really like the z4 but can't find a M locally to drive!

DJ

[Poyzinous]

I know what you need. http://powerwheelscd.com/images/sorcvette.jpgThat should do the trick.

[marlin29311]

I vote Porsche Cayman S over the boxter. I love the looks of it, and its not too expensive.

Im sorry but when you take a great roadster and make it a hard top... That is a Fail in my book..

Why would you not want a Roadster for the same money?

DJ

[BrandAidDesignG35]

Get the new 332hp 0-60 4.7 second 370Z 6mt. Go, NOW!!! what are you waiting for.

OR the G37 convertible, that has everything you need.

I killed an MS6 last night, so I hope you wont consider those as an option.

[370Z/28]

Just putting my $.02 worth in about the S2000 since I just had one for 4 1/2 years.

Great car, 24 mpg, never had to have anything repaired, tight as a drum, excellent resale value.

Shortcomings, it is hard to have a vehicle that small for your only vehicle. Ride is VERY STIFF, slow, ZERO torque.

Now the Vette...like I've said before my hubby had one that was a POS.

If you are thinking American Muscle, have you considered a Challenger?? Or maybe waiting for a new Camaro??

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

vette would be the only american car i would probably buy....

I really like the z4m... I need to drive one to be sure... On top gear it was faster around the track than many other cars costing much much more than it!

what is a MS6?

I like the G37 vert but it will be more than 45k with the options i want.

The 370z is nice but i wanted a vert! and that will be close to 40k

The used z4m is about 23k... the one i like on ebay anyway lol

I can get about 16k for my G and then 7 more k can buy it cash!

DJ

[tollboothwilley]

I'd say boost the G and throw some $$ into a body kit.

If not that, go with the Z4M. BMW's are awesome, just be prepared to pay out the @$$ when you have to fix something. I had one and repair costs are what made me sell it.

[BrandAidDesignG35]

Tampa... MS6 = MazdaSpeed6... FTL

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Yea... What was the problem... I need to join a z4 forum and do some research

looks like you already had your mind made up on a z4 to begin with.. go for it if it makes you happy...

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

I know... lol...

I love the z4 and the M has 343 hp and only weighs about 3k lbs...

That seems like a lot of open air fun to me!

Oh and I heard of one guy doing a muffler swap and the thing sounded amazing!

Do you know the differance between a Cactus and a BMW.

With a cactus the prick is on the outside.

But seriously, if you're in the market for a car you should look into the Hyundai Genesis Coupe...
