Here are my weird European attractions:
Alfa Romeo GTV6 2.5
Triumph TR8
Lancia Scorpion
Renault Alpine

I also liked the Fiero GT, and the Starion.

Hey guys my friend has a older Supra like that with the straight 6 in it. He's having the engine rebuilt and a paint job done on it. I post pics when he gets it back. Heres a bad pic of it right before it went into the shop.

I've got that same model supra. White 1990 Mk3 turbo, love the car, just wish it was lighter. It's like a japanese muscle car. Suspension was tuned by lotus, who're also doing the suspension on the new skyline gt-r according to rumors. If you've already got an rx-8, I don't see why you want anything else. If I could afford an rx-8 I'd ditch the supra in a second. The supra's great just because it's turbo from the factory, bpu and you've got a nice amount of power before everything starts to break. Wish it had bigger brakes too.

There's a 94 mr2 turbo for sale in my neighborhood ... everytime I walk by it I really want to buy it. I can't afford it though. There's a turbo II around my block that I always drool over too. If that one was for sale, I'd sell the supra and buy it as soon as I could.

I'm an idiot though, I don't even care if it runs and I never have time to fix all the odds and ends that need to be addressed. I'd have 19 cars if I had the space to store them. I should just have a drinking problem, it'd be cheaper.

Nice to see people talking about the starion/conquest. I personally own two of them. I have a bone stock 87 red one (my first car), and a nicely modded 88 one. It's a nice looking car, and is cheap speed. My 88 starion will absolutely rape my rx8 I must admit. It's not even close, and I didn't have to spend that much money to make it fast. The real money went into cosmetic restoration. I will say though that the car had serious problems, and reuires a lot of patience and maintanence to own one. I know people who are running 12s with them. They are deceiving cars though when you modify them. If you run high 13s on a starion, you will be able to take out most mid 13s cars form a rolling start. Once moving, the car is just a beast, and fery few newer cars can take it without heavy modding.

I have always wanted a 92 or 93 Mustang 5.0. Too bad my wife thinks they look like an Escort.

They DO look like an Escort! I had a friend with a '88 5.slow, and he always talked it up like it was the hottest thing on the road. He would never refer to it as anything but "my Mustang 5.0". As in:

* Hey, we could take my Mustang 5.0!
* My Mustang 5.0 is almost out of gas.
* I think I left my wallet in my Mustang 5.0.

It's not like it was modified or exceptional in any way. In fact, it was a bit of a rusty pile. But to him, it was a powerhouse ride, and that's cool. I never called him out on it, but boy it was funny.

Peace
