Josh,
That's why you buy a Truck... My wife and I both have 2 seater (SLK & Viper GTS), I bought a F150 4 door door for when I haul the kids (14 & 15) plus it's nice to have for towing the car trailer, yard stuff, etc.... Shortly we will have three 2 seaters and a truck... lol Heck, there are several sedans out there you can buy cheap for a 3rd/ kid hauler... |

Almost bought an Evo in 2003 also considered the STI, would buy a GT 500 if they weren't going over MSRP of course it would brake the budget of $30000, heck I might just get another Backdraft. I need to sell some land anyone need some.

I think it depends on your idea of "fun"... and "fast" could be interpreted differently as well.
for a fun, tossable car, I'd say Miata for more power, a 350Z for a full-size tire smoker with a grea interior... a leftover Pontiac GTO |
Limited to American car <30K
so the Mazda and Nissan are not in the mixregardless of your definition of fun and fast |
Already got a Mazda, it is tossable just not fast although I did beat a pickup truck once in a drag race. My Ford 4x4 crew cab diesel dually is fast compared to most cars it did a 14.5 quarter mile but it sure is bulky, hell it even turns like a truck. Looks like the tang is it, can be modified reasonably to make it go and as a bonus has 4 seats for the grand kids who by the way will be driving in a couple of years. Still not sure what I will do as I have so many vehicles already just was a little curious as to whats out there.

I think the Chrysler Crossfire is cool. Very Art Deco lines. Might be budget-busting here. Maybe one with 10,00 miles on it.
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...hoto_01_1_.jpg I've always wanted a Jeep. Not so practical, but fun. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...main_14_1_.jpg Don't know what the Prowlers are going for these days. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...takeout_1_.jpg Something about the SSRs are cool. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0/10SSR_1_.jpg That's all I have for American. If you cross an ocean in either direction, the list grows exponentially. |
Forgot one!
350 hp as shown for $29,999. 425 hp with SRT8 package for a couple of grand more. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...Daytona_1_.jpg |

Another option with 4 seats is the SRT8 charger. Might be just over the 30k range though. They are low 13 sec cars off the lot. I've even heard claims of high 12's after a full exhaust. My problem with them.... DODGE!! The SSR was chevy's BIG mistake! Who needs a truck that can't haul more than 2 people, a load of sand, or a trailer? You could always hold out for the new camaro or challenger? Josh |
Ok,,now that we're totally off the Cobra subject. How does either the Saturn or the Pontiac compare to a Honda S2000, which I know is a bit over 30K but I've been thinking of a used one to commute.
|
With all the cars already mentioned.... solstice, sky, charger, evo, miata or even the Cobalt supercharged version. I would still take the mustang gt....2 door sport sedan...v8 power and sound...and a $hit load of aftermarket parts if you ever get bored with the standard power or looks down the road....
|
Speaking of aftermarket parts...how about a new nameplate for the Sky, which might make it a more manly name...the BrewSky.
|
I forgot all about the charger, I thought they were a lot more money..
|
They are giving the GTOs away. As long as you like blue or red interiors ;)

You can buy 'half' an Audi RS4 in that price range.**) :3DSMILE: **)

But you could buy 1/3 of a Z06:3DSMILE: |

As far as American goes???? I'm sure there are tons of outsourced parts on the Vette.%/ |
Barry - Can't offer any comparisons to the Saturn/Pontiac but I can attest to the absolute FUN nature of the S2000 - in fact (:cool: ) check out this link as I have mine for sale. :p www.photoshow.net/greatrides
I'd cover half the cost of shipping to LA. :) Ditto to the Mustang not feeling real fast - that is the 300 hp GT version. Although I have not driven one the GTO looks like a neat ride and many mods I assume could be done to easily boost power to the LS1 (I think that is the correct engine). |
