Evil thoughts about selling the stang... AWD Car Options?

007 · Oct 1, 2010

So the roads where I moved to are really rough. I have to take a 10 minute longer commute if I want to drive the stang to work. Its also garaged from Nov to April due to mASS winters. Finally, its an auto, and if I keep it I'm going to sink a whole load money into a TKO swap.

I love the way the car looks, love that its a vert, and I'm the only owner. But I just dont drive it much anymore due to the roads and the winter. Maybe 3k miles in the last 2 years. Seems like a waste.

So I'm looking at AWD cars again. Got any recommendations? Preferably something relatively fast, that will still be good in snow with a set of snow rims/blizzaks. I was looking at the BMW 335xi coupe. Got any other ideas?

well depends on price range theres evo 8's 9's or 10's. subaru's like the wrx or for more go the sti's. the new nissan gtr's. i think the new SHO is all wheel drive? im sure someone else will know for sure. newer audi tts. mazda 6 eh that about all i can think of now im sure theres a ton more but those were all the practical ones i could think of. thats why i didnt say ferrari's or lamborghini's or anything like that lol

If I were to sell my Gt to get an AWD car, the only one i'd get would be a sti.

AWD cars can be very fun! I have to say thou, my friend has a 350hp evo x. He lets me drive it whenever I want. It is very fun but to be honest it gets boring after awhile. That is just my opinion. The looks, the sound and the rwd burning of the rubber is 10x more fun to me .

Either a SHO or a WRX.

VW R32's are reallllly nice inside and handle well.. plus have some power. WRX's are great and so are EVO 8/9's. The evo x's are nice too but still expensive. Porsche 911 Turbo would get the job done a 2002 911T would be reasonable priced.

r32's are paddle shift too

evo 8 or 9 ( i dont care what you say) or audi s4

evo 9 with a tune and more bewst, will net ya around 400whp and actually run well everyday.

Why not keep the 'Stang and throw some Blizzaks on it instead? I love the way my Mustang handles in the snow.

I drove my stang in the snow in laramie Wyoming. Was quite fun actually!

N8Dogg98 · Oct 1, 2010

Yeah, a NPI stang is great in the snow. It's the only time you can actually break the tires loose

Hey now! Not all of us drive slow, NA, NPI Mustangs!

Some of us drive slow, supercharged, NPI Stangs.

Thanks for all the advice. I never liked the WRX or Evo styling (ricey). I'm looking for a 2 door car. The R32 is cute, but not for me either. The G35 isnt bad, but I prefer the BMW 335xi for sure. That still top of the list.
Something like this is pretty F-ing sweet. If I could get one with a manual trans I dont think I'd regret selling then stang...

It doesnt need modding! Plenty fast enough for me.

Any ideas what I'll get for my stang? God... I'm already having second thoughts! This could be tough...

slayerripkdc · Oct 2, 2010

I would say in the ball park around 8-9k. Good luck on your car venture. I will say thou, I always miss my stangs and always and I mean always end up getting another one .
