Default EG or other... what would you do?

If you had a choice, and you could do up an EG with say, k20, turbo, ITR seats, GSR dash, rims, etc.. all nice and pretty.. or get an RSX-S or say a car for around 25-30k.. what would you do?

Fix up the EG?

Get a new car..?

I'm torn between the two because you can get away with more when you just have insurance to pay and not a car payment + insurance.

The RSX-S is in the same insurance bracket as the Z06 Corvette, so I'd get a Z06 Corvette and not be driving a gay import.

i posted the 2003 Z06... the guy is only asking $29,900. a far cry from 50 grand. it's also a car that already saw the most of it's depreciation so spending 30 large on that car will be wiser than spending 30 large on a car who's value will drop quicker than people using Vioxx....

the used Z06 will smoke the EVO in resale value. there is NO WAY i'd tie up 30 thousand dollars on an entry level import that will be many thousands less when i go to sell.

the Z06 is a wiser choice finacially if one does not plan to lose ton's of money, and it is far from slow...

I figured STI.. I like it better than the EVO... z06.. I worked at a Chevy dealership and the Vettes are quick, but break all the time...

for $30K....definitely the Evo! A buddy of mine got it for $29K out the door. Heck, why not even a WRX for $24K OTD?

So my preference in order is the Evo, WRX, RSX, and then EG. That is unless you want to save money...go for the EG if that's the case.

id go for the k20 turbo. (it will rip)
z06s usually arent that cheap and probably not practical for him.


edit: drop it in a dc2 or eg6.
