mazdaspeed6: cool 4 door with some pep...good amount of aftermarket for what it is
350z
s2000 (ap2)
gto (ls2)
01-02 vette (non zo6)
03-04 cobra

i am problay coming back over within 6 months though as a civilian, so i might just get a beater to last me until i come back home for good

Um just a thought, you said you were interested in a 03-04 cobra, statixnwh has a beautiful mach 1 you may want to look at.

Get a Z. Cobras are up there in price, and finding one for $22K that's in good shape is going to be hard (that's not beat to death). An S2000 is fun, but a Z will do "all that and more" for the same amount of money, and has more room. Build quality is lacking, compared to an S2000, though. MazdaSpeed 6 - I would stay away if I were you... that poor car... :mrgreen:

hey does your 350 have cruise?
HECK YES,
BUT....


I can't set the cruise if I'm going over 90 for some reason, I gotta set it at 89 and keep pushing the up button to get it where I want it set, oh well.... who really cruises above 90 besides me anyways! lol.

yeah i am leaning towards a s2k or 350 but alot of the 350s dont have cruise....kinda lame for what starts as a 25k plus car
The only 350z that doesnt have cruise is the base model which also doesnt have HID's or LSD. So you would want a enthusiast model which depending on the year you could find one for under 22k very easily. Owning a 350z i would highly suggest one. I love the car and have never had any trouble out of it. A close second would be the GTO with the 6.0 liter because they are so easy to make power but lack in the handling and looks department.

why not a z06? 22k you could probably find you a 01Z......im buying a FRC c5 once this mach 1 sells, found one already.....FRC's are a little more expensive than a coupe, but they are lighter, have z51 suspension and look a whole hell lot better. You cant beat a vette when it comes to straight bang for buck, ls1 is ftw.
