The last new Mustang I owned was a 85 GT which I put a Paxton supercharger on.. it was still not real fast..

I also vote the Skyline at this time...
|
But the Saturn is so damn ugly, especially the butt. I like the Pontiac better.
|
How much is the Lancer Evolution? THat's a bad ass car, AWD and mucho HP. Probably 30 plus huh? Ry

I have a base Sky & just love it, handles like its on rails!! See mine in my gallery. If I could only get the Cobra to handle like that does. |
I don't like the front of the solstice at all. I like the saturn all around better. they are both very fun to drive. Much like a cobra! :)

I tried to buy one for my wife... The dealer wanted 5K over sticker!!! So I went and bought her a SLK32 with 12K miles on it and put the change in my pocket.... 3 months later, I get the call to come get my car at sticker... too late!
It's a shame that they run off so many people with that stratergy... I feel sorry for those who paid the 5K over on the base cars.... |
Hmm.. funny how much better it looks in basic black!

If you want to order one, you will be locked in at the sticker price once you place you're order. That way, the dealer can't tack on other 5K upon delivery. I know, been there, done that. Ordered mine 3/30/06 & locked in at the sticker price, it was delivered to me 9/27/06 at that locked in price even though there was a price increase increase during the production of my car. One of the best cars I ever bought & would buy another one. Maybe you should have went back & got it. They're awesome, fun little cars. |
I could understand why they would ask that when the redline was in production... people were paying it. I know people who were on the waiting list for 4-5 months for their redline Sky. There is only one thing I dislike about the sky... the chrome fog light housing! I would pull the housing apart and paint the inside black. that is my only problem with the sky. IMO, the solstice is just to Bubbly for me. I liek the crisp lines of the sky better.
I like the projectors on this car though http://www.dragtimes.com/images/1191...-Saturn-SL.jpg |
I like the hard top of the SLK and the 349hp doesn't hurt iether... I figured I will pick up a Redline at the auction once supply meets demand. I do like the shape and the wifey does too...
|
Ya, definitely can't beat a hard top! i wish i could get a retractable hardtop for my hurricane! haha
Here are some pics of a friends Sky redline, i would have posted them but i couldn't see them from the computer I'm at. http://saturnspeed.com/smf/index.php...9556#msg259556 My wife loves the sky also, we would buy one but we can't have 2 cars that only seat 2 ppl when we have a 2yr old! haha Josh |
I am still trying to figure out why Ford dropped the T-bird. It was a nice car except it was under-powered and over-priced. All they had to do was put the Mustang 4.6L engine in it, boosting the power while cutting the cost which would have allowed them to reduce the selling price. Now there are a bunch of other cars all in that same market segment.
I have rented a couple of new Mustang GT's. I think that they are good cars. One was a convertible and it was very quite, even with the top down. Wayne |
My pick would also be a Sky, in Red with twin White Stripes :D
