Also a big fan of the GTO, but I think I would move onto a late series RX7.

Well I finally have my next car, a mighty 1998 VW Golf GTi - go SOHC 8v power :roll:

Oh well, it will do for a while. The car business is a bit different in this country!

Ideally I would have liked a S15 Silvia (but the g/f hates them) or a BMW E36 325 coupe - nothing too ambitious for me...

Bugatti Veyron... but i'd settle for a Ferrari F340 softtop with flappy paddle gearbox and carbon ceramic brakes, only cause it's almost practical :P

Cos would never spend a crazy amount of money on my car...I would probably go for a 350z and have it turbo'd seen one done and its faster than a GT3. You can pick one up for like 50k now..turbo kit was about 10k (including front bar) good price for awsome performance and looks.

I know decent turbo kit for 350z are $15k & 2 weeks of labour, as some cheap one have heat & ADR issue.

Yeah the SOS & the Fortune NSX are the kind I like. I like the Fortune NSX ever since my mate send me a mag from Jap which feature it when it first came out. in 04.
