Which Cars Would you Like to Drive???

I was wondering, if someone gave you the opportunity to pick three cars from the list and drive them on a competition course which would you pick? Would you rather have a manual or automatic transmission? Which cars under $30,000 did I forget?

Hmm....I dont see anything from Ford on there. Funny, this is in a Ford forum...but I'll bite anyway.

Since I'd be on a racetrack I chose the 350Z, but only because its RWD. It would also have to be a manual transmission or I wouldnt even consider it. Tied with that is the RX-8 for the same reason plus its has the new and improved Wankel that makes as much power N/A as the previous twin turbo RX-7. Too bad I cant vote twice. My second choice would be the WRX just because I want one and I love the sound of the flat-4. That and AWD. And turbo.

350Z- the Neon is FWD- which instantly rules it out for me IMHO (Yes I know my car is FWD)- the others except the RX8 are AWD- which is nice but too easy. While the 350 is a faster car than the RX8 naturally- hence my choice.

And I'd have Manual- anyday of the week- Automatic transmissions are a joke on Road courses IMHO

That pretty much took the words out of my mouth.

Re: Which Cars Would You Like to Drive???

I dont think this is really Vette related, but I have driven the Evo, the WRX, and the SRT-4... If I was hurting for the cash at 30k...the SRT is a hands down bang for the buck champ. But the EVo is just eye catching and awesome in my opinion. I like the handling and the power, and it just seems to feel nicer than the WRX...but thats opinion...all those three cars run really damned well, and I almost traded my old truck in for the Evo.

Ya, I know no Ford products... I would have put in a sweet Mach 1 but since we're getting a new Mustang next year I decided not to include it. All the mentioned cars are new this year or just had a new makeover and will be pretty much the same for awhile. I just saw the new Mustang at Sema and it looked awesome! The new Lightning was really nice to, but I'm not so much into the trucks. oh, and hey, Mazda is owned by Ford so maybe that half-way counts

Re: Which Cars Would you Like to Drive???

Can’t say that any of them really inspire me. I’d like to take an Aston Martin V12 Vantage out though.

Re: Which Cars Would you Like to Drive???

hmmm, I'd pick the Evo, 350Z, and SRT-4. SRT4- barely over the RX8 because I'm really wondering what the SRT-4 will do even though it's probably the slowest of the bunch. The WRX gets dropped off the list only because I've driven a 2002 WRX on track before.
