nice

get the GTO.......................

I'm not familiar with the exact specs, but have you checked into a Cadillac CTS-V? All of them should have well over 300hp, just not sure on gas mileage though.

Could it be??? Nooo...yep it is! LaserSVT actually had GOOD LUCK!

Go with the GTO...get the auto, throw in tuner (to firm the shifts) and throw on a magnaflow or spintech catback.

I personally took my buddies 06 GTO down the track...had full exhaust with spintech mufflers, CAI, and a tune. Car pulled hard and man I LOVED driving it. Very comfortable and the auto was amazing. VERY hard shifts @ WOT and nice and firm in normal driving.

I would take it as a DD in a second. Oh and it sounded GREAT....very very nice. IMO it was a tough call between it and my cobra!

My other buddy has magnaflow exhaust and it sounds VERY VERY close to a mustang....I can not tell his car apart from stangs on the street. And thats what he wanted as he had a S/C 98 GT beforehand. Sounds great!

Honestly, dont get another ride and trade down if possible with the Lincoln for a gas saver. Im sure you think its crazy as youre talking about a vette or goat but you have a NICE stang, spend a little to get it where youre happy and get a 4banger for the weekdays and put the rest in a savingg account at the LEAST.

Find a marauder

i wouldn't do anything with cash yet, the way your luck goes in and out like that...

and no more rivets on wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! imo

well laser, i think i may of found something for you. i found this on one of my other sites im part of and when i seen you were looking for a new dd with some potential and handling i found one for ya. I believe that it beats the Goat hands down!

that supra is SICK, but i also vote marauder, those things are awesome!!

Pontiac G8

2008 G8 GT, around 25k for a certified pre-owned model, meaning extend GM warranty 48month / 48,000mile warranty. Straigth from down under like the goat. Just nicer and newer. Same ponys though, 402hp. Looks a hell of alot nicer.

I agree, the new G8's look really nice and also have a lot of pony's to boot.

the g8 i drove at the autoshow was gutsy, i'll give it credit there... I want to try one thats been tuned with harder shifts or a manual one, only thing i could really feel was the weight but it was nice!!

Side story time!!!, aight, so it was me and and 4 other friends there at the GM driving experience, Everybody was in line for the G8 so there was a little bit of a wait, I was bored so me and 2 others went to a saab 9? turbo to kill some time. We got it out and going and i was redlight racing the thing a little bit, I started giving the girl (hottie!) from GM a hard time about it saying the boost needle was broken and i couldn't get it to move. Apparently she kinda figured out what i was doing and told me to do a neutral drop from like 5k!! Wow, it was awesome to have the gm rep tell me to light it up w/2 friends in the car lol, on the way back to the others we were all talking about boosted cars and me being the poon hound i am started asking about her and what she drove... nearly tripped myself when she showed me a modded evo engine on her phone......Ah yea , then she started about her BF's evo.. . yea that worked in my favor. Anywho we got back and i had about 4-5 min before the G8 was back so we all started getting our free gm concessions and tire gauges and mini flashlights , My Turn!! Yay! I was the next to last driver 4 the day my buds Gf was after me, he couldn't drive because he was 3 weeks from turning 21 lol, so we all went together on the ride, Fortunately for me the gm rep this time said we were going to have to make a trip to get more gas, once again that was good because the station he told me to go to was a couple miles away on the interstate, Honestly to me it felt just a little bit stronger than my brothers modded Gt, the weight might have been what made made it feel like that but the displacement offset it some too. i liked it :thumbsup: So we get to the gas station and find the other 2 people we were there with filling up the Sts or Cts Caddy, can't remember, so swapped up and let bud's GF drive it back, I yelled out "Race you Back" to the others and i'll be dammed if the rep we had with us told the other Rep "wanna race again?" It was ON. Man it was so freakin awesome bein' in the car redlight racing for 17 city blocks back to the show, We only lost 1 race because kim lit the tires on the paint on the road strypes... had a good burnout feel to it though

Done.

Yeah, I was never too keen on their styling but like the room/power/seats it has for the price. I will not get a FWD car so dont say Honda but if you wanted a high performance RWD or AWD daily driver that has a good ride and big comfy seats for under $25,000 what would you get?


BTW, that was cute with my sig and all.

Honda makes a RWD car, s2000

but on a more serious note, ever thought abou a lincoln ls? i bet they have pretty comfy seats and they are rwd. 260hp isn't bad....
you could definitely pick a used on up pretty cheap im sure
