FrankieD Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Porsche Cayman or if we're dreaming....Ford GT. Have you seen them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) This all depends on funding as I have little to none so the semi big dollar cars I lust for would most likely be out of the picture. Semi expensive, pipe dream and lust worthy cars for me would be Jaguar F type R or SVR, Lotus Evora 400, Alfa Romeo 4C and Porsche 911. More realistic options would first be the BRZ / FRS with a turbo setup, (Crawford Performance is not far away from me), build an 818C from Factory 5 or lastly highly modify an old Porsche 914 with eitherPorsche 3.something engine/subaru wrx/ LS2 swap. Unfortunately California smog laws would have a major impact on modifying a newer than '75 car. When I was at WORKS Motorsports, we developed the only CARB-legal BRZ/FRS turbo kit on the market. FYI... The car is a blast to drive all kitted out (or bone stock). The WORKS shop car has a Flex-Fuel Stage 2 kit, Ohlins, STI brakes, etc etc. I've driven it on track from stock to modified and it's an absolute beast.

JSM Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'm an old man with issues. Lots of issues. Lol, yeah me too. I think part of is it a neighbor bought one and he fits the stereo typical mid life crisis purchaser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrel_Ball Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 If I had to choose a new sports car - The new Fiat 124 Spider. New Grocery Getter - Current Subaru Impreza hatchback (Fun to drive in 5 speed trim) If was an older sporty car, R34 Skyline 25GT-t coupe (nothing fancy, just fun) older grocery-getter - My old '02 Impreza TS wagon (comfy, practical, and cornered like it was on rails) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I can't believe I forgot to add the last gen RX7 (FD3S) as I love it's timeless shape and light weight. I would modify it with an engine swap of some sort, LS2/3 etc, 2JZ.... as I am not the most confident in the rotary nor a fan of how loud it can be and total gas hog while in the process.

260DET Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Definately not a Porker on principle, present Jeep Cherokee diesel is fine for a daily, for track use the LS3 280ZX is all my own work so that counts. Nah, I'm fine thanks, Z31 V8 project race car is keeping me engaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just submitted an offer on a 1931 Model A chopped coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero Z Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I have a RX7 FD LS2 in addition to the Z. The Z 'feels' lighter and just as fast the RX7. I think the Z gets more attention but I do like the looks of the RX and its a bit more modern. I wouldn't 'upgrade' from my Z as I don't think I'd sell it to get something else. The other cars would go first. Unless I can find someone wanting to trade their Mclaren for my Z. I can't believe I forgot to add the last gen RX7 (FD3S) as I love it's timeless shape and light weight. I would modify it with an engine swap of some sort, LS2/3 etc, 2JZ.... as I am not the most confident in the rotary nor a fan of how loud it can be and total gas hog while in the process.
