RSX-S
SRT-4
RX-8
Evo IX RS
WRX
350Z
Sentra SE-R Spec V
Scion tC



FYI..... :D

 

oh, and discuss please :D

 

how much is an s2000 in the US.

 

Us$32000

 

hmmm, I thought it might have come in just under 30. I can accept this list now.

 

basically they mentioned that the 8 was a great car and they didn't say that the 8 was slow but had more than enough power. Had great handling... Nice review of the 8 though.

 

nice list

I kinda like that new tc

 

tc is a nice car for the money

 

I'm certain there are other cars I'd be into for the money (aside from the RX8, of course). Aren't TSXs something like $25k?

 

TSX is 'too mature' for SCC readers, if you know what i mean

 

Aye, forgot the target audience :p

 

I haven't seen a Toyota in SCC's 8 Great Rides since the '00 Celica. It's good to see them amongst sports cars, even if it's in the form of Scion.

 

kewl, I have two of those on the list. Have a spec-V also. Can't beat it for $17k with all the options. Good stereo, reasonable interior, the early ones had decent body additions, really good suspension with very little body roll at all, a decent tight transmission, enough torque to squeal the tires through all gears except 5 and 6, good sized trunk, and enough room for the kids too.

 

What about the Cobalt SS? That thing puts up some pretty respectable numbers.

 

^that's the problem, putting up numbers is only *part* of the whole equation of a 'great ride', out of all people, I'd figure RX-8 owners would know that :D

 

I'm surprised the Mini Cooper S is not in th list.

 

Where is the Miata? oops I mean the MX5...
