If not an 8 what would you get...
If you had to get a car other then the 8, based on ur current financial status what would it be.
I would probably get a WRX since it would be a great Daily Driver here in NY and I can AutoX it.
AWD, Good Power, 4dr, Affordable Insurance

i thought the wrx's insurance was about 2x the rx8s...maybe that was the sti.
if i didn't get the rx8, i would have gotten a 350z. btw, you can auto-x the 8 and any other car out there

I would of got a M3 or G35 coupe but my friends have those cars already so no need to get the same.None of my close friends has a Rx-8 so that made my decision a lot easier & the fact that I was always a fan of the Rx-7 R1 twin turbo which was my dream car when I was in high school but I couldn't afford that in high school & I did not want the help of my parents.Everything I own I got it on my own.

That would be the STI. Not twice as much, but not too far off either. The WRX may have still been a bit more then rx8, but not by much.

I difference worked out to 600 dollars per year when you factor in how thirsty the 8 is.

back on track, i was also thinking about the g35 when looking at the 8. i'd also like to have an imported r33 or r34.

If I could'nt get an 8 I would wait for the 2006 Mustang 500 cobra , thats if it ever will happen. But if I had the money and could get the 8 of my choice I'd spring for the $60,000 conversion Acosta motorsports.com could offer me. ohh fr#ggin hell yea,wuohhh,whoooooo!!!!!!
