atleast it was for a good and practical reason. they are very nice cars though, congrats on the purchase, and that itch for a sports car will never go so im sure there will be a new one in your future.

side note, some punk kid had one of those and he kept trying to race me on the highway. i dropped into the third and he wasnt even close to touching the 8. loser

Yeah it was a hard yet easy choice haha...hard to let go the 8 but easy choice for the family...

and i do have plans for the FX to try and mitigate the loss of the 8 haha..minus those wheels.....

Nice choice. They can be a lot faster than an 8 actually

I saw one lower than that at HIN a few years ago, it was bagged and looked awesome, those are nice cars and there is a bit of aftermarket for them as well so be careful or the bug will carry over from the 8 lol

Yeah well it may look dumb but the only dumb part you would see would be the tail lights And please don't say, "yeah but let's see it hang in the twisties"

Fast is Fast.


Maybe you like it in winning Blue?




This bitch is bad.

A stiffer/harsher ride might not be such a great thing on a family car. I've done it before and now regret it.

to add to the comments, in my opinion, it has a real nice stock exhaust note for a v6.
