Second question....what would you buy and your pros and cons
1) NISMO (2011) est 40k
2) BMW 1-Series "M" (2012) est 45k+
3) EVO MR (2011) est 40k
4) Camaro 2SS (2011) est 35-40k


1. So far so great, I have yet to have a problem with mine for the whole 1500 miles I have on it. It is a rougher ride than my previous EVO X MR on Eibachs.

2. I would never own a BMW, once those things go out of warranty, its hard to afford the $200+ an hour rate for the technicians at a dealership. But of course you could always buy an extended warranty. Plus, everyone has a BMW here in Dallas.

3. My old EVO MR was a badass car. 4 doors is a huge bonus compared to the Z. You can spend far less money modding an EVO than a Z and make way more power. The car handled on rails. And with the dual clutch tranny, it was a beast. Also, you hardly ever see an EVO here in Dallas except when the EVO club meets up.

4. Its a big engine in a peice of plastic. Guarantee, in two years, the car would be rattling worse than an A.D.D. kid playing maracas. Plus the car weights 4000lbs, handles like a peice of crap. And most importantly, in two years, everybody is gonna have one. Just like the Mustang.

Nismo
Cons: No leather or Nav but not really expected.
Pros: It's a bloody Nismo and looks awesome. More rare than typical GT Mustang.
BWM 1 series
Cons: It's a BMW, a small one at that. It looks terrible.
Pros: It's a BMW, so its sort of nice.
EVO MR
Cons: Two too many doors. Not really a looker. Gets very pricey if you start stacking on the options. No manual.
Pros: AWD turbo
Camaro 2SS
Cons: No Nav option. Gauge cluster looks... funky. Pretty common now and hard to tell V6s from V8s.
Pros: Looks awesome. V8. Decent factory options [except nav]

my 2 cents
