What's up with these ricers??

G Wagons are awesome, but far outside of what I want to pay, sadly. Not saying they aren't worth it, just outside of what I want to spend. Very awesome, though!

I never buy new. Certified Pre-Owned is the way to go.

Fast in a straight line isnt as fun as fast in the turns.

Scared to own anything like that without the maximum available warranty time-period.

Yep! My trip to Spring Mountain in Vegas was actually part of what got me to sell my Z06. Plenty of other cars can perform in the corners, and feel a lot more "alive" doing it.

I've got a 240sx I'm building now, my main focus is going to be suspension and handling, but it will get an sr20det. I always had a sports car but I bought a silverado last year, and picked up this 240 several weeks ago and started the research and buying process. I'm glad I currently have all the guns and ammo I want or it would be difficult to decide what to buy lol.

I've wanted an LS powered 240 for a while now. Once I finish my other projects I think I may build one.

I used to be a full-on ricer. In fact I found BS through SNI.

I had a suped up Hyundai Tiburon. I took it from 16.7 seconds in the 1/4 mile stock to a 15.1 with bolt-ons and tuning. Yeah, that's right. I said 15.1 seconds. Sorry for blowing your minds.

Next project was a '72 Cutlass Supreme that went away when the kid came along.

I'm fat as hell and I think I could pedal faster than a 16.7

I believe it. Looking back now I realize two things...1) my car was slow and 2) I drove like an ass, if it were any faster I'd probably be dead.

It was fun when you thrashed on it or bent into a corner with it, but the quality just wasn't there aside from the drive-line and suspension. My 370Z is a much much better car, if not as performance oriented. I traded a car that felt like a Cobalt 95% of the time and a rocket 5% of the time for a car that feels awesome 95% of the time and could use a little more oomph 5% of the time. Cut my note in half while I was at it. WIN!

It was a very sexy car, though, and I still don't see many others around like it:

Traded for this (Half the price, 3X the compliments. I don't understand that, really, but kinda cool.):

I will say, every single person who has ridden in both cars says they would rather own my 370Z than my Z06, assuming they couldn't ever sell it/get trade-in on it. Guys (Even one guy who is a HUGE Viper fan/former vette owner), girls, everyone. Everyone except my Dad, who thinks its a better car, but has a soft spot for 'vettes because his first car was a 'vette.

My freind owns a 370z nismo and that thing is sick..really nice car

nice, Japanese land yacht. I've want to do one of these

Once I finish putting my turbo kit on my L59 truck, anything less than an LS or BBC car will not stand a chance...

I only go this route because I can't fit in a Viper/Z06/Ferrari, or any other true sports car for that matter.

Just a little modded mustang, that gives me more headaches than wins.

I was so happy to get rid of my 2006 Mustang GT. Aside from the smart junction box shorting out while I was in Florida, it was mostly minor BS things breaking that annoyed me with that car. To think, I believed the hype when I read that Ford had improved its quality. My last problematic Ford was a 1996 Thunderbird and it left me completely stranded a few more times than my 2006 Mustang GT did.
