If he doesnt want to “work” on his car then I don’t think an fd would be the best of choice.

m or evo.

Having seen both, Evo +6k \>\>\>\>\> 350z +6k.

If he is set on the Z, do him a favor and make him buy anything other than the GReddy kit.

M Shoe, however, they are not worth your time hunting for an S52 one. The S54 is the one to get, but they still run 30-50k depending on condition.

If he goes with the S2k, just make sure its an '03 or earlier… 9k redline much better than 8k. And why didn’t you mention an Elise too him? Don’t want anyone else you know, aside from yourself, to have one?

eh, he wouldn’t bite on me that hard. he likes the sti too, but wouldn’t get one because i had/have one… if he wants to drive an elise, he can drive mine. i want him to get the M so i can rip it… :devil:

Why? Has he ever driven any of them? It’s been said many times in the auto press “Corvette is the best bang for the buck in it’s class”. Mine comes out of storage in 2 weeks, send him over for a ride/drive! It aint perfect, and it’s not for everyone, but there is a lot to like. MY 2 cents …

he doesn’t like them because they look dumb. i agree.

except about the porsche, he doesnt like that because he thinks there is a porsche persona… which there kind of is… he doesn’t want to be associated with that. i understand where he is coming from, but it is one hell of a car, looks nice and purrrforms…
