    That better be a hell of an interior for that much! That is just a crazy amount to spend on a car. I'd rather have a Porche 911 turbo or a Corvette.



    Hard to describe. The doors close effortlessly. Ergonomically everything is perfect. Not a single stitch in the interior is out of place. It might not be the fastest, least expensive, best looking etc. sports car on the market, but it's the most refined by far. Just my opinion.

    Ummmm... :? WTF are they doing? Why even call that a Mustang, it looks nothing like one. I have a feeling this is going to be a bad move for Ford if this is the direction they go.

    Yes, I'm sensing a trend here :lol: And I've pretty much agreed with your tastes too, there's something about American muscle cars that draws me in.

    My guy got himself the 2010 Camaro SS for his 37th birthday - I've rarely heard such pure, unadulterated joy in his voice as when he phoned me after picking it up.

    It's gorgeous! And purrs with a badass underlying rumble.

    And I have yet to drive it - not because he doesn't want me to (he encourages me to, actually), but because I'm a pussy. It's bulkier, lower, heavier than my car...it intimidates me, I'll admit it.

    When my car goes (which could be soon, who knows - '97 Integra, but in pretty good shape and low miles), I'd love to get the Challenger. Had a blast doing a short test-drive awhile back and felt pretty comfortable in it, despite it being similar in size to the Camaro.

    I also like the Pontiac Solstice hard-top, though I understand they're pretty difficult to find now.

    I haven't made it through the whole thread yet - but has anyone mentioned the Barrett Jackson auctions on the Speed channel? Now THERE are some beauts. Some seem fairly reasonable in price too, considering the work that's been put into them.

    Definitely dont like that.... as a mustang. as something else? maybe.

    There are very few american cars I like anyway. The only way I would ever own an american car is if I was dumb rich and could afford many cars.

    my logic was "rice" is typically a cheap car like a civic, neon, focus...something liek that. an econo box.

    Back in 2000-2002 I was part of an Acura Board Forum (I had an Acura then) and if you made a post with the word 'rice' in it...It would end up being censored (weird)..So when a poster wanted to use the term/word 'rice' or 'ricer'...They had to type 'rice' like this...'r1ce or 'r1cer''. :lol:

    Apparently 'Rice' is generally (like you said) typically an econo box type car. But one that's made in Japan (specifically). Because in japan they eat lot's of rice, :eh: and many people found it to be like a racial slur, or something like that.

    saw the new Scion FR-S sat at the dealer...reminded me of a mini 350Z. i actually liked it and thought it looked pretty sharp, to bad it only comes with 200 ponies.... and with a startingn price of 25K, there are plenty of better bang for the buck choices

    My uncle who just recently sold his 63 Corvette Stingray bought a hot rod a few weeks ago. Think he told me it was a '32 Ford Roadster. pretty sweet:

    Next Generation of Hyper Cars

    Ferrari

    The F150 is likely to be powered by a 6.3-litre V12 producing in excess of 800PS of power, with an extra 150PS of power courtesy of a Formula 1-style KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System). The car is claimed to accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 3 seconds and get past 200kmph in about 7 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 370kmph.
