Germans like to make things fancy and complicated just because they Can, not because they need to.

Why wouldn't you want to own German appliances? They're too power hungry.

I really think you should go for a Trans Am or C4. Cheap interiors, yes, but that can be overlooked for the V8 burble and driving experience.

This time around it'll be something with a V8, rather it's the 4th gen F-body, SN95 Mustang, or C4 Vette just depends on what I can find. It's such a pain to find the GM's with manuals for whatever reason, the Mustang I find consistently enough. That or say screw it and get the 2nd gen Trans Am I've always wanted. I did find a nice Firehawk, but it ended before I had gotten the check... That and there was a hardtop Formula M6 locally, that of course, was listed the week before the check arrived.......

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

So part out everything that isn't needed in a track car, then either keep it or sell it. After giving it some thought I suppose I'll go with a SN95 Mustang, either the 5.0 OHV or PI 4.6 SOHC with the 5-speed. I like the 4th gen F-body more, but finding a manual and then working on them is impossible. Either that or get a classic muscle car of some sort, 10 mpg wooooo. Time to take a break from Japanese cars, and indulge in cheap interior and rolling burnouts. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
