I was wondering, if someone gave you the opportunity to pick three cars from the list and drive them on a competition course which would you pick? Would you rather have a manual or automatic transmission? Which cars under $30,000 did I forget?

You're supposed to pick 3 guys :p

I picked the EVO and the WRX because it would be interesting seeing what a big difference there is. Probably should have left the WRX out since I can do it already and picked the 8.... and my third choice was an SRT-4, we know it's fast in a straight line but how would it do on a track. I dount it would be the most fun but I would be so curious that I'd have to take it for a spin.

Personally, I'd pick as follows:

Yes:

- Mitsubishi. I already know what it's like as I've driven them plenty of times before, but it's a fantastic track car and brilliant fun, so I'd never pass up the opportunity.

-350Z. I'd want to see just what the "main competitor" to the RX8 can do on a track.

-RX8. Any chance to take one of these on a few flying laps is not to be passed up.


No:

-Dodge. Because I have about zero interest in the car, it's not available over here (in that form) and it's not exactly inspiring to me.

-Subaru. One of my best mates is a Subaru salesman. I've never been a fan to be honest, they're good cars but very over-hyped. I've driven them on plenty of occassions in the past and I just don't enjoy them as much as the Evo, so I may as well pick the Mitsubishi and leave out the Subaru given that they are otherwise relatively similar cars.

RX-8 , Any chance to drive an 8 on a course will do for meh.

350z, See what a heavier, poorly balanced torque monster from japan can do ;)

Evo, No intrest in the scooby, but an Evo could be an ok everyday car if its looks were toned down from pre-riced some.

You need to add the 2004 S2000 which is much closer to the RX8 than the rest of those cars IMO.

I think thx RX8 is in the middle between performance, luxury and convenience... none of the other cars would offer that :/

I tried them all in Gran Turismo 3!!!!!

The SRT4 is not in Turismo 3.

Does that even begin to matter as GT3 is barely an adequate method of testing cars.

I am in perfect agreement...

You should have added "McClaren F1" to the vote list :)

350z no question, its always been my first choice

a strong tie second would be the rx8 and g35c (the rx8s real competitor), ive always been a fan of RWD sportscars. The AWD is just another thing that will break on a car and i dont really need it where i live.

Did you mean a plain WRX or an STI? If it's the STI, no question, that'd be in there, but if you mean WRX, I don't know if I'd want to drive the Neon or the WRX. Though I didn't pick either of them in this case...

I think your poll is a little missleading due to the lack of selection...we all know which one will be ahead, like jebus crizzle. Maybe if you had a dodge viper or something, then we'd see wich one would pull ahead. (on the track and in the polls)

ya i would agree with greg, it is a bit misleading like in wat way, handling, performance, value, looks and other stuff, but i'd still choose the rx8.

y'see, my friend knows as well as i do the neon would suck horse b**lz, the 350z is for old geezers, and the subaru...well, stick to the dirt.
~Greg

easy question:

Evo.

RX-8.

haha... and then none of the above. the only two that really interest me at all.

I wouldn't mind taking the Evo out for a spin

As much as I hate to say it, the Dodge is a fun car. I got to take a couple laps around Laguna Seca with a pro instructer and the car totally surprised me. Then again, after a few hard laps the cars stunk like crazy as the engines were pretty toasted.
