Don't buy a front driver unless you test drive a tsx. I'd go with a 06 or 07 but thats just me.

Plan to go twin turbo 350z. (I don't care about room ahaha plan to get a daily anyway)


I'd go TL and turbo+body kit it.

Props on the owner for modding it so exquisitely (I think his brother drives a spooned out S2K)

BMW 330i, 2006 E90 Sedan should be close to the 30K price point now, and it a well balanced sedan. Can get one with a stick shift, and still pretty decent mileage.

I'll go with an oddball choice since there are going to be alot of Evo, STi, BMW suggestions: Pontiac GTO with the LS2. 400hp, 6 spd, pretty good back seat, nearly endless aftermarket, and the mileage isn't that far off of the S.

I think he also mentioned somewhere in there about having the same MPG approximately as the S2000. The GTO is horrible with gas.

MUSTANG GT j/k


A used M3, an evo/sti, and the newer 350Z come first to mind.

how about a VW R32? those sound like a fun car to me.


On domestics--are used C6s close to $30k yet? I only ask because I hear they've sold for as low as ~$41

Million possibilities...

What do you mean by ''more space''????

You can go from a C5 Z06 to an STI to an EVO to an E46 M3 to a Boxster S to an NSX to a 911, etc...

Dude, you have to be more specific in terms of what you like in a car: steering, braking, torque, high reving, lightweight, roadster, etc..

I suggest you start by checking out www.edmunds.com for a few weeks, seriously!
