    I love the car dont get me wrong , but being as i can only afford one car i decided not to get a car that is designed as a top speed/ high speed / straightline acceleration car. that's so i traded some tops speed and acceleration for some handeling and (most important at this stage in life) reliability.

    Some day i would love to get one as my daily

    Wait a minute the older Audi S4 isn't there, if you get them now they are kick ass bargins. But they still aren't as fast overall as an STi.

    Porsche 911 turbo, of course. How could you not put that in there?

    You left out the most important ones as well: Supra TT, 3000GT VR-4, RX-7, 300ZX TT

    Your list would include the mr2 if that were the case.

    That said, mr2 all the way.

    The MR2 Turbo has been out of production for years so it don't count by default.

    Great taste! Come out to a NP meet and you can play around with a 911 turbo (a very good looking one in my opinion ) all that you want.

    Whatever you think Paul...I didn't go back into this thread yesterday because I posted a simple answer and left it at that, but I had a feeling you would say something "because you always have to make fun of someone to make yourself feel better... " And if you didn't know by now my B/f has been in the scene...UH...HOW FUCKING LONG now? So, I have seen a couple cars before. "You know" I could give a shit how fast a car is. You asked what your favorite "Turbo" car was...so I answered with the one I think looks the best. And as far as posting after Ruiner...whatever...U can think what you want, as I recall any ways if you want to get technical about it I posted on the first page Dumbass. It seems there are a lot of posts in this thread that name the same car, but only mine was to copy another's answer... :jerkit:

    As for a GN in the twisties, The OEM GN did a .80g, a GNX did a .84G on the skid pad, an OEM civic Si (99-00) did a .82...the Buicks are fine ( and easily made awesome w/ Hotchkis, Bell tech, Eibach, ART, etc etc
    I tell ya what, I'll just show you mine in a few months. Its no secret thats what I am building.

    They do have an advantage of having a V6 instead of a V8 in that big brick chassis. I will love to see what your car does when its finished and i will be most impressed with you if you have the balls to take it on a mountain run

    I have the grapes to do it, but I wouldnt simply because I dont wanna lose my license haulin a$$ around blind curves (I used to do mtn runs ALOT) since I am 2 pts off suspension now. The point isnt have the best at everything, I want the most well rounded car. The handling is the buicks weakness, but I can live w/ its soon to be transformed state.

    having grapes and having grapes to drive a buick around a mountain are 2 different things, i understand where you are at, i respect the fact you dont want to do it. but i would love to see it so i could be proven wrong that a heavy automatic american made brick could handle the mountain roads.
