What other cars you looked at ?

[argylesocks]

Ferrari, Porche, M3, S4..... but in the end, the Yaris fit better with my budget.

That doesn't make sense because at first you're looking at a 50,000$+ (350Z) car and you finally choose a 20,000$ car. Why didn't you tell us at the beginning that you want to replace a truck which you did not need anymore? That's is more sensefull. Because now your point is clear and I understand your choice.

I see where you are coming from...

FWIW
If you look around and hit the auctions a mildly used 05 350Z can be had for less then 35K
The one orange 2006 I looked at was the most $$$ and with less then 10,000km was selling for 38k (private sale)
New 2005 GT's - 06 V6 Mustangs were under 30k

Everybody else says the same thing, why would I get ride of an awesome truck for a Yaris, or at least no get another sportscar or fansy truck.
I don't know, for a change maybe? Tired of mot having much money to play with at the end of every month..
I've always had nice looking or fast cars and then I go and buy something I would normally not give a second glance at.
Call it dumb or being more mature whatever you want.
I'll tell you what, I still can't belive it, and when i look out my window everyday and see a Yaris sitting where my Xtreme used to sit, I still shake my head in disbeliefe and chuckle to myself.
But you know what, I don't have a single regret. It's one of the best car I've owned.

But a V6 Mustang is like Spaghetti with no sauce and meatballs man... they are a joke, my I30 can beat a V6 Stang from a standing start and it's a lux sedan for god's sake.

My fathers ZZperformance 3800 S/C buick regal GS will wipe the smile off most GT owners faces. Runs 12's

I was more interested in the GT but it was the style/looks of the car that drew my attention. FWIW the 350Z was not as fast or as powerful as I expected it to be, but MAN what a sweet handling fun ride

I love the Mustang Shelby GT 500 Convertible. That is one bad mamma jamma!

Forcefeed it... the VQ series responds very well to forced induction...
For a real rush, build a JGTC engine, VQ30DETT, take a RWD VQ30DET, put the 35 induction parts on it then give it twin turbos... the original units made close to 500hp on race fuel, plus the VQ30 revs higher and easier than the VQ35, and mounts lower and closer to the firewall for better weight distribution

Myself, I would love an Infiniti M45... I just want to see what that V8 can do, especially Impul's stroked 5.1 Liter version.
