SOMEONE TAKE JAWNS NEW THREAD BUTTON AWAY
:clap::clap::clap:
As much as I love the Z06.... jesus. That interior. It is almost identical to the one in my Dad's S10 from 1999! So horrible. Big print/buttons for geriatrics. Just ugly.
That being said, I would get one in a heartbeat (get it, heartbeat - also a slogan for Chevy back when that interior was designed!)

the shifter feel kinda sucks too, but whatevs.
I was going to say that earlier, but was afraid of getting flamed for talking crap on the interior of a high performance track beast. I was surprised it had a CD player rather than cassette. :iono:
nah man, you keep it real son. the interior sucks, no doubt. But it is a track beast.
Eh. What else is better for $25k, an FR-S? :lol:
(I intend to test drive an FR-S and Fiesta ST too, interestingly both are 200 hp 2700 lbs $25k)
exactly. For track cars - with power, its one of the best bangs foryour buck, if not THE best.
You can get the Focus ST for around 25k as well
Voted for next gen ms3/wrx/mk7 in that order. You should get the new gen ms3 because the exterior is going to look very sporty/European and then do an awd swap from the cx5/ms6
.
haha... i do think the exterior will look amazing, no doubt. just waiting to hear on power/performance, etc.
Why not get a BMW engine swap in the A3 if you want something sportier?
*runs for cover
duwah? that sounds... expensive.
Sell Audi. Buy $10k civic + sport bike.
not bad. I've had bikes before, and with a family and long commute now, there's just no good time to ride, so two cars sounds better in the end.
i can't stop laughing, i voted, keep.
thank you thank you.
it sucks on the plac option, cos that takes a way a third of votes that could be taken seriously, oh well.
Best response on this whole forum.

YOLO.
Good shit as usual here.
I voted keep it, but I'm really not sure. I think about this every day. Sell GTI and Miata and have $4k Civic and S2K. Or just E46 M3... or something.
But I think you'd probably miss the A3 on a day to day basis. I mean AWD for K04 traction+Chicago winters. K04 powah. Sleek looks. Dat badge if you're like maxturdi and care. DSG (gay). I mean it's a sick DD and decent performance car. Driving an automatic Civic would suck in comparison. I'd probably hold out and eventually get a second car.
yeah, you, me, and troy on the same page kinda.
I love the A3 as a daily, but just want more out of it for tracking, and miss stick here and there.
On the way home tonight, a guy complimented the car at the gas station, and some high school looking girl gave the car a double take and a "turnaround to look" when I passed by. I felt like Plac at the daycare getting love from the other dads.
My father in law just traded in his C5 z06 at Rossi Chevy in Washington NJ. The car is beyond mint with 24k miles and I can get you a good deal on it
OH DANG.
UHHHHH....
weight, handling, shifter, high revving, Honda.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Don't S2ks make better track cars out of the box?
yes
Cool. I'm going to try and test drive the silver one in town here this week along with some other crap like the FR-S and some boring cars and go from there.
Would it be sacrilege to drive a z06 all year round or just cool? I think it would freak some people out too, kind of the same thing as running my station wagon at the track :lol:
The stupid thing is that a $25k C5Z would save me money in like 3-5 years over my S4 - and that is NOT counting the $$ I would pour into the S4 to make it track-worthy (which amounts to ~$30k).
you could DD it year round, just get some good ass winter tires. They just seem like such good track cars, even stock. I see them at track days all the time and they seem so damn capable.
didn't you already do this poll once? A slow DD will be boring and you will hate your life.
I do it every year or so, lol.
yeah, a slow DD wouldn't be ideal, but I figure if I only have to drive it to work 3 days a week, and the other car two (sans winter), I think thats doable.
Another possible option.. with some ball chaffing from the wife, is pick up a $3-$4K Miata to track... but then I'd need tires for it and who knows what else.. it all adds up.
