Not all of them. One of the guys I work with owns a Tibby V6 for a daily driver. He also owns a Gixxer 1k and a sixty somepthin Mustang with a 351.

Good point, plus I'll bet the insurance will be a lot less. I would pay more for a Turbo II 89' Dodge Daytona than I would for my GTC even though they are the same car.

That is actually a good idea... I knew you were good for something.

here's another vote for the saab

[-The Stig-]

Plus, since it's a Saab, 99% of people won't consider it fast expect it to be tuned up or anything. Quite the little sleeper... the only dead give away would be if you put on a exhaust, it'll sound just like a WRX.

Which, might confuse some racers...

saab sounds like a good idea to me to. we used to have one of those when i was little. it was a cool car.

Another vote for the Saab. Also a fan of the cobalt ss, but a no for the hyundai. Its nice looking, but performance wise its not exactly enzo quality

[-Jayson-]

not a fan of the hyundai, i looked into the saab already, but i dont care for the styling of it. To much of a grocery getter look for me. I still want something on the smaller side, i dont need a big car.



i dont care for hatch backs like that.



ehh not me



i like the front end/rear/doors alot



its an alright car, but i feel like to many kids drive it

[-The Stig-]

Ok, so you don't want the Saab cause it's too much of a grocery getter, yet you want to stay away from the boy racer image... But you're all hyped up on the Saturn.

You're strange man... anywho, the Saturns aren't too bad. If that's what you like, the go for it, you shouldn't need a bunch of internet guys to tell you that. At the end of the month, it's your ass writing the payment check not us.

So you don't want a boy racer? And you do want something fun to drive, good handling (I would expect), and somewhat quick with some potential. I'm just going to throw this out and see what you think. A Porsche Boxster. A blast to take around corners, could be made quicker, its a Porsche (which is kind of cool), not a "boy racer", and can be had for $18k-28k.......
plus the ladies love a nice uber car with the top down.

99 3000gt vr4- or a 99 SL Spyder or a 97 98 vr-4 --- 3000gt's FTW
name one reason you wouldnt want a 3/s ??

edited:- perfect match-94 one of the best years- 16,500 miles on new engine but 87k on body
awd twin turbo like 400hp with system ... all for $15,000 and not too far away

any porsche = massive insurance

you know what, common sense would say you are right. However insurance companies use some rather esoteric methods to determine the rates so IMO you should never assume. Its free to get quotes so why not find out for sure?

yeah i guess you might as well....

[turtlecrxsi]

I was thinking Saab 9-2x as well but I too think it's too much car for what I need. Nice car though.

What about a used GTI 1.8T? With few mods they can be pretty potent cars.
