Sean did you every test drive a GTR?

Unrelated to what you are asking, but I'm curious as to thoughts.

Supra?

You would drive that?

Weird. Why not build the pantera?

You missed the point, 2+2.  I want something the kids can come in too, otherwise it is pointless.  Long term I'll build something real.  This is just an itch.  Won't keep it, won't upgrade it much, just drive for a year or two until i have some time to do something.

No, this spring....but the GTR is what made me think about a 2+2 in the first place

Why not a muscle car?  It won't have the handling you like, but I don't see the values taking a bath on them.  That price range ought to get you something in great shape with lots of updated components.  

 

Heck, pick up a Galaxie again.  :)

I don't want a project right now....err, can't have one.  If I get one of those it will have to be built already.  Some safety with the little ones is needed too.

 

Thought about one of these as well:

Buy a built 4.6

Buy a GT drop top.

Have a local monkey drop it in.

Bet you could squeak out under 30?

Hunt the corral. Best mustang advice Ryan gave me.

4.5 0-60 is pretty quick bro!

I didn't know the supra was a 2+2 actually.

But yes I glazed it.

Factory sub 13 second 1/4 mile isn't fast enough??

 

Just what in the heck are we looking for the in under 30k with a minimum of 2+2 seats then?

I've had 4 SHO's including a boosted one, 2 M3's, and don't fit in a 240.  I like the ideas though.

Late model supra is hard to find for $30k

http://www.suprastore.com/19qusitosusi.html

E46 M3 but I bet it's smaller than a supra.

If I did an M3 it'd be a played with E30 at this point.  I want something more modern though as I really won't keep it more than a year or 2.

It is fast enough, just not for being a pony.  I want rails as much as go.

 

I should probably just buy another el cheapo 944 turbo...although I realize that is slower.  

 

With the stang I guess I just expected more out of 500hp

I also have to keep myself distracted as snowcheck ends on Tuesday.  If I can make it until then without re-checking a sled it'd be good.
