Wink For what car would you trade your 8

I would never trade my RX-8 for any other car unless it was a upgraded version of the RX-8(Turbo, more Hp, etc.) But if I had no extra money, I could only afford one car, or something out of this world made me trade my RX-8, I would have to go with a car Toyota doesn't make any more. 1997 Toyota Twin Turbo Supra. Here are some picks for those not familiar with this beauty. How about you?

A 996 or 997 Porsche, Jaguar XKR/XK8, SL500/600/55/65, or maybe an LS2 Vette. I would have said an FD--but that would have to be in addition to my 8

I'd have to agree with that twin turbo *drool* I'd kill for an SL500 (600...)

If I were to trade for something in my affordability range it would be an Acura TSX. I test drove it, a GS35, BMW325 (used), Honda Accord coupe, Volvo S40 and a Toyato Solara. To me, none came close to the RX8 in all around "feel". The TSX was the closest.

Perfectly restored 1979 Datsun 280 Z 2+2 with, say, 5,000 original miles.

By the way, I'd also trade it on this (if it comes to the market)

http://www.jaguarusa.com/us/en/vehic...d6_concept.htm

I gather its the same chassis - Ford badge engineering run amok. Anyone else think so?

If I could afford the difference in payment I would put my name on a Lotus Exige. I'd even "settle" for an Elise.

I would trade my NA 8 for a Turbo/SC 8....the more I think about it, since I need a 2+2, the more I can't think of something else I would want to drive.

BUT, if I had to...hmmmm....

BMW M5

I'd trade it for a mint super low mileage RX7 GSL-SE, or an equally pristine 86-87 Corolla GTS.
