Actually, that's a '95 Ford Mustang with at Legacy Wagon grafted on to it.

*waves white flag*

Art- Good... I got a new ride. I was at the meet this thursday but I didn't get a chance to talk to you. Ill see you next thursday? Maybe talk ya into getting a *real* car

zpeed · 2004-07-31, 10:11 PM

Arthur want my MB? Nice car good torque but no turbo rush

LetItRev · 2004-08-01, 12:58 PM

Art,

Keep the current car and take the money you would have used for the new wheels and put it towards that house you want to buy. Then when you get older, you'll have some assets.

dayofpain · 2004-08-01, 04:41 PM

i know you could care less about what i think; however, i Just went through this, over the last month. my decision ill keep to myself.

Magnum RT; very nice interior, i forsee many little recalls over the next year. no AWD, but easy to control RWD. (side note: 300c feels MUCH better, like they didnt change the suspension for the Magnum.)

Volvo S40 T-5; Best interior, Slowest of all comared however the turbo rush is there. the car is a friggin vault, no sound inside, even better imo than the BMW i drove. cheapest insurance (for me). 6 friggin airbags. softest most compliant suspension. no awd and volvo traction control makes no sense.

BMW 330ci; sporty as hell in handling and suspension (still slow though), nice interior with the alcantra, not worth the money imo.

Subaru Legacy GT Turbo; ghey stacked on a little more ghey with a side of ghey. no balls, noisy inside, not even close to an sti and almost the same price. sure looks nice though ;P.

G35 Awd; This one is tied with the Volvo but it feels alot stronger, had to drive to sac to test it. nothing really stood out except the awd, couldnt make it loose traction. Kinda nice contrast to the old rexxer.

Lancer Evo 8; hmmm lets just say not impressed. not enough car for the money, Sti has more options. the lancer makes you pay for crap the comes "stock" on the Sti. i like the interior a bit better on this car, (vs the sti) only cause it makes you feel like theres more room.

Im sure that none of this means anything, also im sure you will draw your own conclusion. But for whats its worth, nothing compares to the feeling of a new car and a new warranty ;P. like that first kiss, and the butterflies that come with it.

i wont say which came out on top, and i didnt write down everything i tested like sport uts and real lux cars.

fyi the old rex is gone, i detuned it a bit so it doesnt blow up on the new owner. never got faster than 11.817 but maybe in a year or so the new car will be rockin 10's ....

MattR · 2004-08-01, 05:13 PM

Holy crap! What's up Phil?,,, I'd have to agree with you on the Volvo...They really nailed it on comfort, build quality and luxury...Those cars are just plain smooth..So? What did you buy? No secrets...

JC · 2004-08-01, 05:15 PM

If you are planning on 10s you pretty much got the Magnum or the EVO and it doesn't sound like you liked the EVO. Still got your bike?

Careful with the Volvo == quality. Yes, they're *very* nice, but my Dad's S80 T6 is on its 3rd tranny.

It's still a sweet car, but without a warranty... :shock:

sp00ln · 2004-08-02, 01:21 PM

Why are you guys so biased against the evo? I havn't seen one test where the STI beat the evo around the track. And the evo, with 20+ less hp keeps right with the STI. :?

Kevin M · 2004-08-02, 01:23 PM

Because we don't live on racetracks, and the STi is the better daily use car. And it's not like the STi isn't a fast track car.

My only draw back to the EVO is the gas less compacity means more stops, ohh and the looks 2F2F, shoot I guess the idea of a 10 year old motor that thier just now improving on would do it also. I just hope this one doesn't start the "Crank Walk" threads again? Other then that the EVO JDM style is "ILL"

ArthurS · 2004-08-02, 01:41 PM

There are things I dislike about each the EVO and STi.

I don't plan on going either route. After this weekend, I spent some more time on drit roads trying to get to the rivers, I realized the need to have a vehicle with a good clearance.

I have been to swamped at work since Hawaii to go test drive, but I will still be going after some.

Phil...did you think the R/T was quick?

anyway, I have been ruling some out and thinking of others. I know Dean will slap me for this, but I want to go test the Allroad Audi 2.7t.

JC · 2004-08-02, 02:00 PM

My friend is selling his Volvo XC turbo if you are interested.

ArthurS · 2004-08-02, 02:11 PM

I really do not like Volvo's. They are nice cars and all...just not my taste (unless is a S60R).
