yes, it's the new IS - sport tuned version
Loaded it was in the low 60's

At that point just buy a M3, it will be like getting a Vette GS, all the suspension and other work but the pussy engine. Note, I still think the Vette GS is nice but at the end of the day I would never buy it.

true, the base M3 is only about 9k more then the base IS
if your gonna spend 60, mine as well spend 70

If you are seriously considering the 335 IS I would look at the 2011 GT500 instead of the regular GT. You're also well into the lightly used GTR range at 60k.

Yeah, if you are going to spend 70k, you may as well drop 75-80k and get a GT-R. Well at that point, you may as well drop 90k and go with a...and so on.

Only thing is I probably want an auto - GT500 is manual only
the GT-R maintenance is just ridiculous $8,000 for brakes at $22,000 miles, no thanks.

I believe the 2012 is hoping to help relieve that a bit, but not 100% sure yet.

Figured I'd stick this in here since this seems like the "unnoficial 5.0 owners thread."

New tags came in this week and it finally stopped raining so I put them on this morning.

Did you replace the live rear axle yet, noob? Cuz if not, fail. You'll be able to beat me in a straight line, but a miata will own you in the curves. Nring times? Plus, you've got an ugly *** interior made of low quality materials. Yeah, it's leather, but probably from dumb, stupid, ugly cows. And so what you can change led colors? That won't make it handel. I'm gonna engine swap my Z like it says I can in Forza, for the v8 from an R390, and then I'll beat your stock mustang that hopefully you won't mod to make it just as faster.
