$25,000 cash to blow..
 

I've been wanting a RX-8 for a long time now since about May of 2004 but I was 16 then. I'm 20 now obviously, and since then my love for the RX-8 has remained constant. With the money I have earned since then I'm confronted with a variety of different vehicles with better performance and more reliability. If you were in my situation what would you do? I've pretty much got all of the sports cars on my mind except for muscle cars which is a whole different field of temptation.

RX-7
Mitsu Evo
MS3
STI
Boxster
S2000
350z

I have these choices to choose from.. I really don't like 4 doors however so my perrogative is coupes. Give me some insight. I wouldn't mind financing a R3 but the difference is only looks.. I'm at a crossroad

get the new M3

with 25k bucks you could get a sweet RX-7. 1994 with reliability mods, reworked suspension, wheels, rebuilt engine and still have close to 5k left over for your own savings/mods!

If you want new/reliability, I'd get the MS3.

I despise the MS3.. ford influenced hotbox imo. I've considered the RX-7 a lot but it's hard to find the one I want and I'm by no means a mechanic and couldn't keep up with a super high maintenance car like the rx-7 :(

I feel obligated to recommend you put some of that money in a Roth IRA since you're only 20...

Then of course still buy a nice car!

buy an RX-8 for 15K and put the rest in a mutual fund or high-yield account... you'll thank me in a few years :)

Save it.............That's what i would do

Just not the right time to buy a car.......

I already have a TSP set up guys haha.. I got my shit straight. I currently drive an 07 Kia Optima LX. I can't even drive a stick yet but I know I'm ready for a real car not just a commuter.

You wanna build one?

Mazda RX7 FC3S TurboII=$5,000 in good shape + Upgraded Aftermarket Parts Miscellaneous=$6,000 New&Used and the rest in savings :P

not particularly but I wanna run a light turbo .. 6psi or so, I think that would be as far as mods would go. Wanna lower it and buy new r3 wheels and slap those on a earlier year. Like I said it's been my dream car for a while haha

Oh I meant build a dream sports car - Like a FF Cobra or restore an older MR2, FC, FD, Porsche, Corvette, Sylvia, MG - yada yada yada.

As for your TC plans and budget - very do able; and you really can't beat the suspension and handling of the 8 (well it is the best I have ever driven anyway). Add some power which is too easy - and away you go.

Are you in college? If not, enroll in one.

I'm in the military.

100% Tuition Assistance and NEW GI BILL FTW!

Lol roger that. I can get all the college I want it's just a matter of getting off my ass haha. I'm actually in the reserve so I dont get TA. Get GI bill and texas will pay the rest lol..

If that is the case and serve in the military, and i was in your situation.... I would buy a** 2001 White Honda S2000 and get the inline-pro Turbo kit**...and again that is if i was in your situation,
but if you've been wanting the RX8 for that many years.....I would say go Complete Your Long Awaited MISSION and get yourself an MAZDA RX8... :)

I dont know if 180 whp is enough :banghead:

evo is a beast. that would've been my other choice, if the situation was right. but with that kind of money, i would invest in an rx7 fd and get to work on it. No fun in just buying a maxed out car ;)

something like this :D

Either the RX7 or 8 u seem to really like the 8 if you want to go turbo then get a used 05 or 06 and buy one of the mazsport turbos.....

wow holy shit... too bad it's a rustang, and that super charger sounds retarded, but that thing is fast.

lol..... muscle heads at its best, especially reading the Description of Video he put on his video is another muscle-minded hamburger freak....., might as well get a supra and T-88 all the way.... like this....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNgW4...=related:lol2:

a stock evo is by no means "maxed out" put a few grand in an evo and it can go from bad ass to just straight silly

are you kidding me???? that is music to my ears right there, I love 03 cobras
