What other car would you choose?

[Mustang5L5]

Bought myself an Infiniti G35x sedan. That thing was fun. Took it to 200k miles when the driveshaft fell off at 80mph. Fun times. Only foreign car I’ve ever owned.

Wife has owned 3 Hondas. They are her cars and don’t need much which is great because I hate fixing cars. I mean technically they are ours but I don’t drive em.

What I really want right now is a Porsche Macan GTS….

My favorite foreign car that i've owned to date.

I kinda miss this car.

That's a fun little car

Obv 10 months behind this thread. Any american car? Does a viper count as a muscle car? Lets say 150k budget because obviously a mkII gt40 is everyone's number one choice.

But for 150k
My choices in order
De Tamoso Pantera
(to qualify as american it would have to be pre 1976 as thats when ford stopped importing them) (also any model year as long as 351 cleveland powered and its red)
2nd Generation Viper GTS (preferably an ACR)(Red w/silver Stripes)
00 Cobra R
07 Shelby GT500 (red/white stripe "i am legend" car)
95 Cobra R

Now for my sacrilegious choices
Buick Regal GNX
GMC Cyclone
02 Trans Am WS6 manual, in red
Corvette C4 ZR1
Dodge Stealth RT (3000GT VR4 )
Ram SRT10 (standard cab only, in red)
2nd Gen Dodge Dakota RT (standard cab only, in red)

A Corvette C5 would be nice to have.

Somehow I can't get very excited about modern cars too much. I just need a safe and reliable daily driver for my family and a fun car for myself. As fun car if not my Mustang, then it would be probably an F-body.
- 79 TransAm (403 Olds engine and auto)
- 02 Trans Am WS6 manual
- some 3rd gen Camaro Z28 or IROC-Z which I would replicate exterior looks to this one:

I like a 2nd gen, but one with a 403? Ewwwww lol

Yeah I know, most likely would choose the 400 Pontiac engine or a 350 Chevy.
I had a 79 T/A in the past with the 403 which I did rebuild with heads, cam, intake and carb. I liked it and would take the same again.
It's a big bore, short stroke engine.
I usually like to choose paths other than the common ones.

If I had to stick with American brands (or American made) I'd want the most barebones possible 6th gen Camaro with the naturally aspirated V8. I'd have to drive both before deciding on transmission but this is all just chat anyway.


I already own a RCSB Ram that was built in Mexico under Italian ownership so... I'm not sure how much nation of origin matters even.





If my garage burned down with my Mustangs, spare parts, tools, etc in it and I had to replace them with the insurance check I'd probably buy a brand new GR86 which is fully Japanese.

Just because it annoys people here's a scale-accurate comparison of the GR86 and SN95
