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.

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.

You forgot to add that it has the AMD package, and that you and your wife have your names sewn in to the head rests with a heart and an arrow through it that says Forever!

K Dog, if you are going to get a C AMG, why not spend a tad more and just get an E, non AMG? more panache that way, no?

I like cars. I don't flash them. My C32 is the most fun car to drive that I've ever driven. I debadged it as well. Contrary to popular opinion, I don't flash money.

If it is any consolation, I assumed that since you lived in Utah, you didnt have much money.
