What sports car do you realistically want? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

When I was a young lad, I thought having a 300zx would have been the bomb. For a while, not too long ago, I thought having a 350z would be nice.

I have a friend who is a Porsche collector, and so I thought about getting a somewhat vintage Porsche (mid 80's 911), but I've come to the conclusion that is the rich man's game, not mine.

So now I've come to the pedestrian conclusion that a Chevy Corvette might fit the bill. Not *that* expensive, functional, sporty, decent gas mileage.

Realistically? I have no idea, as if I could have any sports car, it would be a 1985 Lamborghini Countach.

I just can't think realistically when it comes to sports cars.

1. Porsche 911 Turbo (about as realistic as the guy on dumb and dumber scoring with the married chick)

2. Porsche 911 Carrera (slightly more realistic, but not bloody likely)

3. Porsche Boxster (somewhat within the realm of possibility)

I would get black in all three cases.

Realism would be getting something like a WRX (4-door) or a Rx-8 (seats 4). Both relatively cheap. Or a Mini-cooper.

I drive a pretty sporty Mercedes C32 right now. I think realistically, I'm going to replace it with an SL55.

'83 t-top Camaro Berlinneta.

If Corvette doesn't have enough space, then a used BMW M3.

K-dog · 10-31-2007, 05:26 PM

M3 isn't bad.

Porsche.

There is no substitute.

Depends on what you want. The first car I ever drove was a 1967 Porsche 912. Fun car. I love Porsche but when it comes to cars, each car is different and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
