Well guy's I never thought I would say it, but I'm thinking of selling my Z. Well I am asking truthfuly what car I should pick up. I could lease a new Z, but that is a lease. I could get like a 2000 Audi A4 Quattro. Good pontential with the Audi, and they are nice cars. Plus I know the owner of the dealership, so I'll probably get a good deal. I would really like to get a car that already has a turbo on it. I was looking at 3rd gen RX-7's, but as we probably all know those aren't the most reliable cars available. Something a bit newer, I can trust, quality, you know. Any suggestions help me out. The Z is just giving me more trouble than I have money. :confused:
Thanks for Helping!

I would say wait for the SRT-4, less than 20,000 and you can't beat that, unless you don't like how it looks.

look at the new mazda 6's. they look sweet and push around the same power as the neon. the only real problem is the fact that they weigh a lot, but u'll have the same problem if u get an audi? i think they are nice cars w/ reasonable prices. jus my opinion tho. :D

i stand by my V8 counterparts... Camaro's/Firebirds w/ LS1's are a good choice.
Mustang's aren't bad either... GT's only. I dont see enough GT's. Tired of seeing V6's.

yeah, stay away from the 7 if you cant keep the Z up. Arent audi S4's like... er faster? I'd rather get one of those. I dunno man, see how much you can get for the Z, and then use that as a down payment for a Z. The new one that is ;)

While putting down a downpayment on a new Z would be a great choice, I'd suggest picking up a 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE.
You can probably pick one up for right around 20K, considering dealers want to get rid of their 2002 stock. I mean it has 240 HP stock. Not to mention that it's cheaper than the WRX and has more HP, while being Naturally Aspirated.

Yeah the Altima's are nice, but they are to big for my taste. We know the owner of the Audi dealership....They had a pretty nice inexpensive TT out there. It was that blue color. They also had a 2001 silver S4! If I am willing to pay more money that would be the shizzl'! It's a frikn' automatic though:( Who cares 250, AWD, Sport shift! Hold on I think I can get a picture of it. Heres th TT.

i know u said u wanted a car with an OEM turbo but . . .
ever consider the mini?
check out minimania.com, and look at what u can do with a stock $16k mini in terms of turbocharger performance . . . mini s isnt bad, but the potential for a stock mini is much greater IMO
just another car u may want to look at :bloated:

Uh,...I don't know. I don't want to look out my window and see a big rig wheel even with my window.

I want something used, so I won't void warranty with mod's. The audi has turbo upgrade kits and other modifications that will not void the warranty. They all come with a 2 year. So, that is probably where I'm leaning.

Get the Audi!!! 225 hp TT(the 180 horse version is gutless), A4, or even the auto S4... You may miss the clutch and banging the gears though..
I'd recommend against a WRX though, their warrantee's suck ass. My friend almost got his warrantee killed becaues he had a turbo timer!!!! After working on a WRX, I now very much dislike it. With an AEM CAI and a cat back exhuast on an otherwise stock WRX.... You'll pretty much yeild no horsepower. Well maybe not 0.. Probaly more truthful if I say like 5 hp.
So go Audi Quattro!!!!

If I leaned any harder towards the Audi's I would probably fal over. They are quality, they look great, plus they're pimp vehicles, and like I said a lot of the mod's will not void waranty! You can't ask for much more than that.
