For $60,000, I would buy a Lingenfelter Trans Am with the second performance package. It runs around $55,000 with nearly 500hp.

hey enzo@af, RX-7 is REALLY unreliable, it'll break every time you drive it, and the Lotus Elise is illegal to drive in the US.
I would say the new BMW M3 |

JD, buy whatever makes you happy. Me, I would try and get a BMW M5. If you offer cash, you could probably get it. It has 400hp, 6 speeds, 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. It is amazing. Or maybe a ZO6. I can't afford either, yet. DON'T BLOW IT ON A SUV, WHATEVER YOU DO!!!!. Yeah, the M5 is a good choice, but do what YOU want.

$60.000 for a M5 will be possible I guess. In that case, I would go for the M5 as well...just look at the car...
Otherwise maybe a Bmw M3 (Cabriolet) tuned by Alpina/Hartge/Dinan ???

I am actually pretty happoy with my Honda, and have no intention of parting with it. Yes, of course it's worth substantially less than $60K, but there are many cars costing twice as much I woldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. Although I must admit that I probably would give it up for an M5, given the opportunity.
As for the SUV thing, not to worry. You will few larger opponents to SUV's in the world. Like just about everything evil on this earth (this is of course sarcastic and to be taken with a grain of salt), they have a place and serve a purpose, but for the most part I hate the things eagerly await their extinction. |

Yea the M5 is pretty nice. One of the best BMWs and you can fit 5 people in there.

If I had 60k to spend my first thought would be trying to find a 94-95 ZR1. Although I doubt they would go for a 60k in good shape, they'd probably be around 10-15k more (maybe). The M5 seems like a good choice, it has everything. It really depends on what type of car you want I guess. I'd take a sports car if I were you but I'm not you I'm me. How about a used NSX , Porsche 911 Turbo, Z06, Viper, or M3. man you got a lot of good choices, it doesn't look like your in a lose-lose situation here

you could get a used Skyline GT-R for like $30k here in the US, it will be an R32 probably. and then tune it to be a real monster for the remaining $30k

Uh yeah but it would still be a Taurus. JD I think it will come to you soon. Im painting my Suburban right now and I had no real clue what color I really wanted. Blacks cool but shows dirt/scratches etc. A variation of Gunmetal is what Ive decided on doing but it took me awhile to really know thats the color that I want. The same for you with the car. It will come to you.
Good luck Erik P.S Im a little upset with the anti-SUV thing man ouch!!

I'd take also an 3rd gen RX-7 and put a 20B into it
TO Gang$tarr: an RX-7 will only blow if zouu don't treat it right. A friend of mine had a '85 RX-7 and did over 120'000 miles with it. M5 is also a very good choice if you need more space. Or I'd take a M3 with the E36 frame and put a M5 engine into it |
