Wow, hmmm... I love alot of European cars. I stay away from Asian vehicles really.
The fastest Porsche that is street legal in North America is the Porsche 911 GT2. That is actually my favorite import car (Got a poster of her right behind me. I pulled out the Digital Camera to show you so check the pick out. =) I love the McLaren F1 McLaren F1 that car is bad asssss (Check out the link), I love all Ferrari's. My favorites the F-50, F-360 Spider, & the 550 Maranello. I also love the new Lamborghini Murcielago, I seen it at the Toronto International Car Show and I couldn't stop loving it. I also like the Diabo's but there no longer in production. I love the Maserati Spyder, that is also a nice car. =) The BMW Z8, it's a pretty nutty looking car. Well I must jet but if I think of some more nice cars.
Favorite Honda, the Odyssey, it being the most powerful Honda. =) Yes I do know of the S2000, The Odyssey has 89lb-ft of torque more. =) Let's all point and laugh at Honda. =) I swear I need to find out a riced out Odyssey. =)

Supra or a twin turbo gen 3 RX-7, the MR2's are kinda cute, but I would much rather take the money and just buy a new 'stang.

SuperchargedRex · 03-24-2002, 12:04 AM

My choice for Asian should be obvious. European would be the BMW Z8. And if I do get around to buying an American car (other than the '65 Fairlane) it'd be a 'Stang.

funkymonkey · 10-13-2002, 03:18 AM

1. R32 Skyline GTR
2. BMW Z8
3. Believe it or not any American Muscle car (Stang, Viper, Vette etc) they're all imports for us lol

polara7777 · 10-13-2002, 04:59 AM

I'm not much for Asian Imports but am a sucker for German engineering. My picks, on a reality level, would be:

1. A classic VW bug and not one of those crap Super Beetles either. Those aren't real bugs.
2. VW Corrado preferably the G60 variant (Supercharged 4 banger) but I wouldn't mind the VR-6 model either. (6 banger duh)
3. VW Transporter Westfalia. NOTHING says cool like an old Westy!

Like Veedubs much? No not at all!

1969Mach1 · 10-13-2002, 10:10 AM

I would probably take the new Ferrari Enzo, Porsche 911 GT2 or GT3, or the Carrera GT. I'd go for the new Lamborghini Murcielago. On the less supercar side I would love to have an M3, and second choice a S4.

If my Mustang was down then I'd be back behind the wheel of the 4-Runner, or my '85 'yota pickup (if I can get the durn thing runnin).

Them ole' 'yotas are hard to kill anyways. Put a timing chain in them every 80,000 to 100,000 miles and you'll be fine.

Topless In Texas · 10-13-2002, 10:05 PM

WELL. AS MUCH AS I HATE TO ADMIT IT..........
I was raised around 240ZX's (when they were NEW! )

My first 'sports car' besides my PEENTO (ha!) was a bad aS$ 280ZX. That thing was SCHWEEEEEEET! Bought it from my boss.
Totalled it in WACO of all places.... Couldn't see thru my friends Big 80's HAIR DO...and got t-boned by a truck.

Got ANOTHER 280 after that....(Same color as Topless, both Z's had T-Tops. Had one set stolen!) Traded in the Z and the Mini Van for my 6 Banger Mustang Verte. That didnt last long. Got Topless a year later!

Id have another Z in a heartbeat...Ive always loved those cars..
