Exactly. I'm kinda sick of FWD, and I want something that can get better traction. Plus, I like to do more than drive in a straight line. I love taking tight turns at high speeds, etc. I really don't want RWD, due to the traction problems they have on slippery surfaces, but a TT Supra would be bad booty though (stupid AWS).

Anyways, I won't have to make this decision for a while. Hopefully, by then, the new RWD Tibs will be out. Hopefully they'll make me want to stay with the Crooked H.

Wait for the Skyline..if it ever gets here. I still say plan on getting a house. Cars come and go..I had an opportunity to make a huge downpayment on a house when I was younger and screwed up and bought a car...sure it's gratifying when your young, but when you grow older and the cars get older, you'll realize what an execellent opportunity to get ahead was waisted. It's your money man and you should spend it any way you want...good luck

RWD isn't that bad on slippery surfaces if your careful. I don't know how an '82 Vette compares to newer RWD... but I have no problems running around in the rain most of the time. Only had it in the snow once on drag radials. You know how that went... LOL.

Why go new though? Used cars own, I will never buy new most likely. Older, cheaper RWD cars are a lot of fun. 240SX, Miata... maybe if you don't mind little problems... RX7, 3000GT/Stealth, etc. are not bad performance choices either.

I can tell you the RX7 owns in curves... rotaries are high maintenence though.

I don't plan on buying new. Probably not until I get a really well paying job. Slightly used cars own. Period. And I agree that a WRX Sti > EVO VIII. Another reason I was leaning towards these 3 cars is because they're all sedans. I'd like to have power and space for friends, luggage, etc.

Kind of rules out the Miata and RX7 doesn't it... ROFLOL. Aren't really any powerful 4 doors besides what you listed. Dodge Magnum? Hemi-power! tongue.gif

Yeah, I could go that route. But then again how do those things handle? Not too good I'd imagine. Oh yeah, I could get a Skyline from Motorex. Course I would have use up every last penny to get one. And it would take forever to get here.

Hope you have a little more then that 30-40k for a Skyline.

The last I checked a 2001 was running around 90k.
