I would look at a MazdaSpeed6. They are pretty fast. A friend of mine is looking at them. He's liking it over the G35 (minus the luxuries of course).

ya...I have looked at them before. I really like the saleen mustangs too.

found a 'vert that might be possible here in OKC. Just not sure if I want to go 'vertible for sq...it would be different though.

sounds like a hot idea! did you check the forsale section joe? there are some nice cars on there for decent prices. i almost bought a 98 vette it was 18000 at a local shop by me and had a dyno slip that said 456hp it had aftermarket goodies on it it was silver with black leather. like this one but it was a coupe not convertable

Now I just need to find a 98 Corvette for 15K and then add that Lingenfelter package for 10K, and poof, instant badass! Then put in my focal/audison combo...and poof, instant stardom..in my mind

You'd have to beef up the internals for a GM V8 to take boost and have any sort of reliability, they just weren't designed for it.
Id have to disagree with that. the blue devil vette's engine is a normal LS7 with a super charger bolt on. im not sure about how much boost its putting out but i think the ls7 could take a super no problem dependant on the boost.

also the ls2 does the same without any major internal engine mods

there is a twin turbo with no major internal mods.

Well today I went in a test drove a G35 Coupe and then crossed over to the BMW dealer and they had a 2004 (I think) M3...The M3 Felt faster, although the ride in the G35 was much smoother. I like the Saleen for the sheer exclusivity of it. Also they had a 2004 S-type 4.2 and I drove that as well. The S-Type is by far the best riding, quietest car I have ever driven, with excellent overall manners as well. Would I choose it over the G35 or the M3..probably not, but then again, I have been one to go different. I felt kinda lame leaving the BMW dealer and going just a half-mile down and test drove the Azzura...very nice car, but not nearly as solid as the two year old Jag, and the price was the same.

If I were looking for a sports car combined with the ability to sound very good with a system, it would most definately be a BMW M3. You could definately say BMWs are on top at the SQ lanes, very easy cars to get sounding good.

Out of the musclecars, I'd go Saleen or Corvette. The GTO is just blah and doesn't handle that great, Mustang is a better option in that category simply because it's cheaper. Mod motor can make a lot more power on the stock internals, especially via supercharging. You'd have to beef up the internals for a GM V8 to take boost and have any sort of reliability, they just weren't designed for it.

Trucks, depends on what you want. I'd drop the Harley F-150 and go with the newer one (they ride SOOOO much better), or the Dodge with a Cummins if you wanted to pull more. Both really good trucks.
