well guys i went tonight to a local dealer, Akins ford if you are not familiar with them they sell ford/dodge/chrysler vehicles. They are a HUGE dealership that we have been dealing with for years. I went and talked to the sales manager we know and asked to drive a srt4, crossfire, and lightning. I was dissapointed to find that the srt4 was out of stock, but no worries because i have driven one before and loved it. So i asked to drive a lightning and a used one if he had it and they had 3. The one i drove was an 03 with 22k miles they wanted 27k for it. Thats a lot more htan i wanted to spend but it was just a test drive to get a feel.

Well i hop in and go i rolled down the window too to get the full effect. I pull out and stomp it and all i can do is get a smile to my face when i am already at 60 not even past the dealership yet and just winding the S/C like a screaming baby. The supercharger sounds AMAZING and boy does it pick up. The interior was comfy and the gauges were sweet(white face/green indigos). After a good 2 mile drive i returned and talked ot them and he told me they had just gotten in today a 00 red lightning with 35k miles and it was 19,500.00. Thats a hell of a deal for one of these so i went and looked at it, it was in good condition.

Next me and my dad decided we wanted to test out the crossfire. We asked for the keys and out of 7 crossfires only 1 was a stick and it was a convertable which is OK in my book haha....i hoped in pulled the top down and took her for a cruize. I thought the ride quality was very good, and it handled well. However, it was WAAAYYY to slow for my taste and i didnt like how soft the clutch was. Its a car that would be fun to have but only if i lived on the california coastline to cruize down.

Well when i got back i said ah what the heck ill see what i can do trade in. I knew it wouldnt be much, but they offered me less than i owe on my car lol...so im gonna take all performance parts off and list her in the autotrader for under blue book to just get it out the door.

Tomorrow i am going to go give the s2000 a try and an evo 8. I will inform you guys once i drive it. I think i have narrowed it down to the srt4, lightning, and s2000 though.
Sorry for such a long post.....
