You just described frequent & high repair costs... right back at you.

 

How about that Lotus Elise with the ITR engine in it? Sounds nice to me!!

 

I know, but I still want one.

I'll drive the ITR-powered Elise when the Jag is feeling cranky.

 

you almost described an mr2

 

*drools at ITR-powered Lotus*

*drools again at MR2*

*changes shirt*

 

Sounds like a M3 <--------------- My favorite...........

 

2700 pounds ??

whatever..

best car weights about 1800 pounds..
it's a 2 seater with the same configuration as the s2k ..
got 12 000 rpm redline using a 2.2l VTEC

and 6 gears...

and is really low
and handles like a GO KART
ehhe

or again ..could use a 125cc go kart with a fiber body on top with few reinforcements..but hey..that's not a car
ahha

 

Except for the suspension. The M3 has struts.

Not that I'd let that keep me from including it on my growing list. The M3 is pretty damn close to perfection.

911 Porsche Turbo. Are we finished, yet?

 

I guess I'd take one of those too. Honestly, I'd rather have a NA 2WD 996 myself.

I can only speak for myself, but I will never be finished.

 

between a M5, the new porsche turbo, or a skyline gt-r

 

911 gt2 , audi rs4 (euro s4 avant on some hardcore roids) , RennTech E60, Bimmer hartage (M5 motor in a 3 series) , toyota soarer, silvia s15 vspec r

 

..Porsche GT2, done!

 

Depends on whether it was to be my only car. If it had to involve some kind of utility, reliability, and poor weather capabilities, that narrows the field significantly.

My '97 prelude fits the bill quite nicely . . . . .

And if it's not quick enough, I can always spend the cash I saved on not getting a BMW on a JRSC (with hondata, 440cc injectors, clutch, & LSD)

But if I could pick a second car (for free). . . . . the M5 sure would be nice. Enough room for all my friends (I only have 3), and a more relaxed road trip/highway cruiser than the 'lude.

 

I'm definately thinking about a single car that could be driven every day without penalty.

As for new cars, both the E36 and E46 M3s top my list. But my original post was about the Jaguar E-type. I'd take a 3.8 liter Series I E-type coupe over just about anything.
