What are they running like 700hp on stock engine internals and drivetrain? The way I see it, being able to eat 100+k cars for lunch all day, every day and still idle like a lexus is good enough for me. Besides, I don't want to kill myself lol! 500 horse'll do it for me! Black...or red supra...bit meaty tires on the back, nice chrome rims...slammed...oh mamma

i think the RX8 is gorgeous, and i anxiously await its release, if for no other reason than simple curiousity. the mazda 6 is also nice-looking, especially in hatchback form. the a4 has an incredible interior, but all things considered, i'd rather have a 330i. IS300 is nice, but....i'd rather have a 330i. all of the above is moot, though, considering i'm already experiencing "life after SVT" in an acura rsx type S.
