Guest onisakura Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 yup. and mercedes is owned by chrylser, right? thanks kids, I took notes When I finally figure it out, Jackie gets shotgun!! (s**t, woman, u love cars more than me, you can drive it, cuz I know how much you can appreciate being behind the wheel) Awwwww damn woman thats sweet! On the subject of the DaimlerChryslers, maybe look into the Crossfire. I dont think they are terribly expensive and they are built with 75% Mercedes parts, on the SLK platform. I saw one today and it sounded NICE. I think it had some kind of aftermarket exhaust and boy was it nice looking. Im a sucker for two seaters though, im on my second one now.

bigpoppanils Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Well, not exactly. In 1998, German-based Daimler-Benz, which owns Mercedes-Benz, merged with Chrysler to form DaimlerChrysler.the Germans kicked out several higher ups at chrysler and installed their own guys. also, in terms of the merger agreement, Mercedes's stockholders own 56% of the combined company.

cintron Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 30k? probably EVO IX when it comes out.Better yet... i'd spend 20k on a used Toyota Tundra, 3k on a trailer and the rest on the Mr2 so i could turn her into a track queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest onisakura Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 volkswagen R32......enuff said The R32 is pretty fast but VW's quality has been SHIT these past few years. I'd pass on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2kool4school Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 yup. and mercedes is owned by chrylser, right? )People get this wrong all of the time. Chrysler was bought by Dailmer Benz or Mercedes Benz that is why the company is now Dalimer Chrysler. Chrysler could never have bought a company like Mercedes Benz. It is actually an insult to Mercedes to say "Mercedes is owned by Chrlysler." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith86 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 for the money i would get a slighty used 350z i race them all the time and they keep up with no problem. as for a lancer or any of those style cars they are corny unless u are 16 they might be fast but they look like a joke i for one would feel stupid pulling up in something that looks like my grandmothers car painted yellow with a spoiler on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fkornre Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Dodge Neon SRT-4 - it's about $10 grand cheaperTurbo, front wheel drive, 0-60 in about 5 1/2 seconds, top speed about 155. Alot of performance for the price from what I've heard. But it is still a Neon. that is what i was gonna suggest... Orisha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laraver Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 1973 DeTomaso Pantera GTS, European Version, that's what I spent my 30K on.Probably the best bang for your buck you can get for 30K, both in looks and performance.A classic wedge body styled by Tom Tjarda, Mid engined like a sports car should be, four wheel independent suspension, unequal double wish bone A-arms, 4 wheel Wilwood Nascar brakes, 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8, fuel injected (mine develops 330 rwhp), mated to the 5-speed German ZF transmission (this is the same combination, Ford engine/ZF Tranny, that won LeMans four times in a row in the original GT40 until they changed the rules to exclude that car) The car came with nitrous but I am having that removed. I have 17" inch rims (the factory size was 15"), with tires sized 215-40-17 (fronts) and 315-35-17 (rears). I'll be changing the fronts to a 245-40-17 this spring for a greater contact patch and better braking.Not a copy-cat kind of car, you don't see them on the road that often Orisha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laraver Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 How's that puppy run in the snow???About as good as that bike in your sig, though from November to April the car is off the road and being worked on to get it ready for the driving season.Right now the list of stuff to be finished by middle or end of April includes: 1) New rear tires 2) New rear brake rotors and pads 3) billet steel rear axles 4)New rear bearings 5) A stainless steel pressure bottle for the colling system 6) An aftermarket electrical relay kit to off load some stuff from the ignition switch 7) New driving lights 8) New fan relaysI want to take the car to 2 Pocono Raceway events that Jersey Panteras participates in: 1)CSD, Celebration of Speed and Design 2) La bella Italia Macchina If the car is ready it will be the first time it has been to Pocono in 15 years. Should be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
