I know I just got a car last september, but

[mofish]

Salt Lake City is crawling with them, I swear it must be the official state car. I walked out of a coffee shop I study at the other day, and there were SEVEN parked all in a row I shit you not. I didnt buy Subaru out of principle.

[Narrock]

The interior of that subaru is also very dated. Dashboards looked like that 7 or 8 years ago. Also, it kind of reminds me of the old Subaru Brats. They had two seats mounted on the bed of the truck too. lame.

[Narrock]

yah BMW is crap these days. Infiniti is beginning to kick their ass. The new M45 is the shit for about 1/3 the price of the top 7 series. It also just beat it and the ugly ass lexuses in the latest Road and Track.

I thought you were getting a black G35?

Ya know... as much as I can't stand GM products, I think the Corvette is actually the better deal here. Similar performance for about half the price. The GT40 has an MSRP of $139,000. That is ridiculous. The Corvette engine is naturally-aspirated and makes almost those same HP and torque ratings... almost. I would think that Ford could've gotten a lot more HP out of that engine if they played around with it some more. Superchargers suck.

which vette is close to 550hp at 6500 rpm?

[Arlos]

The Ford GT also utterly blows away Corvette in the looks department. Not even close. The GT is utterly /drool-worthy. Corvette is meh. Also, who wants to drive a fiberglass car? It doesn't dent, it gets holes.

go speed racer! go speed racer! go speed racer goooooooooooooooo!!!

[Narrock]

lol yeah it does kinda look like the cars Speed Racer and his brother, Racer-X, used to drive.

[brinstar]

except the monkey and the little boy will have to ride in the front because unless i'm mistaken the engine is in the back!

Most of the scoobies I've seen are a mainstay with the skiier/surfer crowd. Although they are actually quite practical, they look ridiculous (especially the STI).
