someone didn't see the burn eurotrash thread.

the srt-4 is a neon, nuff said.
the gti sucks, because its a VW
the chevy cobalt SS has a huge stupid wing on it
the RSX-S is overrated, the base rsx makes the same tq 2000rpm sooner.

i poop on all the choices.

i vote old school supra 7m-gte turbo

why new? once you drive it off the lot, its 1/3 less the price already..

used cars arent bad, and I mean maybe 2-3 years old can save you $$..

I for one would get a NINETY-something NSX if I had 25k to spend.

no, i just didnt want to recommend the toyota i really want, lessens my chance of finding one.

yeah, if you go slightly used, you will be happier. 02 wrxs are dirt cheap with low miles. i have been lookin at jetta GLIs lately, and if you look hard, you can find an 02-04 loaded with low miles for 16-18k still a couple years left on drive train warrenty
