Man, the IS300 is crazy expensive. I don't know if it's worth as much as they're listing it for. I could pay that much for a better car, I think. yea, I know that the rx8 isn't that fast in the straight lines. The rotary engine definitely isn't designed for high torque apps, but like previously stated. . .it is fast as ---- through the turns. I'm thinking of the evo8 though. . . it's pretty nice.
I heard that they're going to be reintroducing the rx-7 in a few years and turbocharge the rx-8. Not to mention the supra coming back. You guys heard any of these rumors?

Re:Ideas For Next Car . . . What do ya think?
ls430 & jag are too luxury. . .that's just my taste. NSX is a good choice. I wouldn't mind getting one of those. The rx7 is definitely one of my choices too. Corvettes are cool. . I actually just test drove my friend's 99 supercharged corvette. It's making 515 whp. Insane how fast it is! he wants 28,000 for it, but will settle for 23,000. Corvettes are nice, I'm just not a fan. Benz. . . also too much luxury. Supras are hot, no matter what anyone says. That was one of the cars I was thinking of, but I heard that they're not very reliable. They make ---- tons of horsepower & have strong internals, but are not meant for day to day driving. . just what I heard. If I got a 3000GT, it would have to be AWD 'cuz I wouldn't drive the front wheel drive version. :P
So of the cars you listed, the ones that I would want, I already have on my list. . .minus the 3000GT & Supra. Unless someone knows otherwise about the supras being good daily drivers as well as race cars. 3000GT. . .eh, maybe that one too. I could add that one to my list. But like I said, prefer RWD. Thnx.
BTW, does anyone know how much boost a stock rx8 can run if you turbocharge it? And has anyone turbocharged one yet?
