If cars were music, the 350Z would be the Dixie Chicks. The Vette would be Alabama. Posche 911 would be Beethoven. The RX-8 would be Mozart.

Over to you . . . ?

z would be led zep. vette would be van halen porsche 911 would be 311 and rx-8 would be genesis (renesis).

I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I spent some time this afternoon pondering the question.

350Z = Rolling Stones
RX-8 = Beatles
Miata = Abba (hey - I LIKE Abba)
Evo = Kiss

Or maybe the 8 is David Bowie. I'll have to give it some more thought.

350Z - Nazereth (as in Hair of the Dog)
Vette - Rod Stewart (Old man rocker)
Evo - Milli Vanilli (Sounds okay but is fake)
RX8 - Dave Mathews (The real deal)

RX8 would be" what a feeling "the song in Flashdance by IRENE CARA.

I agree 100%

Mozart is my favorite not just for his sublime music, but for his life, he was innovative, ahead of his time, one of a kind and admired.

His music was compact, bright, clear and melodic without any excesses or harshness. (sounds familiar eh?)

Mustang=Credence Clearwater Revival (the platform was developed around that time, lol)

S2000="Need to be naked " amber
Evo/Sti = "ugly girl" Flemming and John

GTO "He aint heavy, he's my brother" Some singer.

350Z=Much ado about nothing (some old song)
Rx-8 =nothing compares 2 U (sinead)

RX-7 (93+) I'm a bitch (meridth brooks) << I have to print the lyrics for this one cause its right on.

I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one

[Chorus:]
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

[Chorus]

Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me

[Chorus]

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Of course we can't do this properly until we're in a dive bar with lots of beers but anyway . . .

GR8, your choices rock.

Claudius, the 8 is VERY David Bowie. Insighful! But that Miata/Abba link -- I don't know which of them should be more insulted. To me the Miata is the Kinks: the real deal for rockers who don't give a sh*t what other people think.

L&L, yeah I can dig the "What a feeling" assocation. That song delivers a high, just like the car.

6speed: Sorry, no grown-ups allowed on this board.

Zero, you probably like Steve Miller's "The Joker," right?

Will, why is the Evo fake? For gods sake don't try to drag one in your 8 or you'll get stomped. The Evo is crude but it delivers.

What if cars were movies . . . . ? If they were, the 8 would be Black Rain for me. It's the most "Japanese" car ever built, in all the good senses of the word.

RX8 - "Magic Carpet Ride" - Steppenwolf

***original or the trance remix

Born to be wild!!!

"She was a fast machine. She kept her motor clean. She was the best damned RX-8 that I'd ever seen."
- AC/DC, All Night Long

RX8 - "I Can't Drive 55" - Sammy Hager

who is steve miller and why would I like him?

rx8- " A Little Less Conversation" Elvis

This is a good thread! Here's my expanded list...


350Z = Sir Mix-a-lot "Baby got back"

911 = Led Zep "Stairway to Heaven" a timeless classic

Vette = Any 80's "Big hair" band (Poison, Slayer, Ratt...)

RX8 = Rush "Red Barchetta"

Mustang = Bob Sieger "Old time Rock & Roll!"

VW Cabriolet = Cindy Lauper "Girls just want to have fun"

Mercedes SLK = Ramones, "I wanna be sedated"

Lamborghini = Van Halen "Everybody wants some"

Neon SRT = Cheap Trick

Ferrari 360 = Ozzy "Dreamer"

Vanquish = Thrill Kill Kult "Sex on wheels"

Pontiac GTO = Thomas Numan "Dead again"

BMW M3 = Pink Flyod "Comfortably numb"

Camaro Z28 = Prodigy "Smack my bitch up"

Honda Civic = Nirvana "Smells like teen spirit"

PT Cruiser = The Who "Won't get fooled again"

Hummer H2 = Alice in Chains "Man in a box"


And lastly, the car I traded for the RX8...

MINI Cooper = Guns N Roses "I used to Love her, but I had to kill her"

OMG

350=BABY GOT BACK...that is CLASSIC!!!!

I could not agree more!!!

Velocity.....all i have to say is incredibly awesome and creative dude....my sentiments exactly.....

My comment on the EVO was meant in good fun and not an indictment on it as a fast car - to each his own. Sorry if I offended any EVO drivers.

Willhave8 (need to change my user name since now I do have (an) 8...

IMO
The 350 would be Godsmack, not great musicians, but have a nice powerful feel.

The Vette would be AC/DC, not much change but still at the top of their class.

The 911 would be Tool, much precision and time to make this a finely tuned machine.

The Rx-8 would be Soundgarden, Avangarde and unique, however containing (really contained) some of the best musicians.

Evo would be Linkin Park, here today gone tomorrow.
