What would you buy if you had to? Either asian or european. lets see

1. BMW M5
2. Toyota Supra
3. Acura Integra Type R (i dont know why but i like them for some reason)

Of course there are plenty of muscle cars that I would rather have but if you HAD to have one what wolud it be?

Oh...ok...if my Mustang was ailin'...

Porsche 911 Turbo
BMW M5
Audi RS4

Those should tide me over until I could afford to get the Pony up and running again :D.

A Porche Carrera GT or whatever the fastest Porche is.

And my B/F would pick a 20 B equipped 93 RX7 R 1

i got me an import..92 dodge colt..dropping a 2.0 turbo talon motor in it with a big turbo(big16g) alot of boost, and a liquid cooled intercoller

s l e e p e r

if it had to be european.........what ever the fastest porsche is
if it had to be japenese..........300zx twin turbo

If i had to buy an import sports car here are the vehicles i'd probably buy:

European:
Porsche 928 (RWD, front engine, 50/50 weight, etc. - The DOHC 5.0L V8 from i think '87+)
Any M-series BMW...they're all really nice
Either the new 911 Carrera Turbo 4, or the (i think) 977, which is so fast and emissions bad that it's illegal in the united states to import.

Japanese:
Toyota Supra Twin Turbo
Nissan 300zx twin turbo
Mitsubishi 3000GT twin turbo (notice a theme yet)
Honda S2000

...i might also add that if you look closely you'll notice ALL of the vehicles i selected are either rear wheel drive or all wheel drive.

This also is in no way a reflection of cars that i could AFFORD...but you never mentioned that in the post :D

ummmmm...let's see

1)Aston Martin V-12 Vantage
2)Porche 911 Turbo
3)TT Nissan Skyline

Hmmmm...

To choose but one?

European: Ferrari 456GTA.
Asian: 300ZX TT

European 2-door: Diablo

European 4-door: Bugatti EB112

Japan-sucksthebigone-ese: You can't make me. I would walk first.

Take care,

LOL thats funny. I forgot about Ferrari. How much I would love a Ferrari 355. :D

Top 5 in no order would have to be

1. Lexus IS-300
2. Subaru WRX
3. Mitsubishi Ecplise GS-T (my friend has one and its pretty fast for an import)
4. Any Porshe
5. Integra type r

'86 1/2 Nissan Hardbody pickup...Z24....106 bhp....:p

McLaren F1
Isdera Commendatore
Italdesign Cala
Lotus GT1

Honestly if i had to drive an import it'd be a Tacoma Prerunner.

But i think you mean cars. Then i'd have to consider something that is sort of in the range of the price of my stang.

Asian: Subaru WRX, Lexus IS300.

European: BMW 3 Series.

Ferrari 550 Maranello

Import

Lotus 7

Domestic

Harley-Davidson
Fatory-Five Cobra


do those count?

Ferrari F-50 or 355
bmw 535
mercedes rag top

:D

E 55 Benz
360 Modena Ferrari (With the F1 style paddle shifter on the steering cloumn

Or if you mean more attainable daily driver types I'd get a VW corrado VR6 and if I had to go to Japanese it would be a Nissan, the only Japanese automaker I respect.

Supra Turbo
Rx-7 Touring
911 Turbo

Ferrari 360 Modena*
Honda S2000*
Toyota Celica GT-S
Acura RSX
BMW Z8*
Cars with * too expensive. But if I won a really large lotto the Modena would be ordered immediately!

Import car choices
 

Well, we all want Ferrarri's, Porsche's, Mercedes's and BMW's along with Supras, etc.

Talking reality choices is something else.

You can't beat a Honda for reliability and it's affordable if not inspiring. I recommend them to a lot of folks who need a family car they can depend on.

In the 'sport car' realm, not much is available for the price of a new 'Stang but a Mazda Miata is fun if not fast and a used BMW M3 or a Lexus GS430 would fit the bill, although only if repairs costs were not an issue.

Just thinking about how few affordable, fast cars are actually available for a price the average person can pay makes me appreciate the Mustang all the more.
