won't happen.. :(

How about a newer RX-8 with better gas mileage? I don't hate the car, but I just think it is way overhyped by the "JDM" crowd.
I have a feeling after I test drive a BRZ, I'd still rather take the RX-8.

Which is really sad since the S15 Silvia is in many ways directly comparable to this car. :shakes head:

No idea on the price of a S15 new though, so that may torpedo my comparison altogether.:ugh2:

if they bring out a new "silvia" 24-27k makes sense

The S15 was never sold in the U.S., but the MSRP of a 1998 240SX was $18,349. Adjusting for inflation that puts it at $35.3K in 2012 dollars

(according to the converter here: Inflation Calculator: Money’s Real Worth Over Time | Coin News)

In contrast, the MSRP of a 2006 300ZX was 37,439 which would make it a 70K car today.

for 18,349 in 1998 I got 25,628....in 2012 dollars. I think you made a typo. The difference is the S14 was much easier to upgrade. Apparently the subi engine in this thing is not very good at handling lots of power.

EDIt: and there was no 2006 300zx, I think you meant 1996 and your calculator puts it at 54K. which isn't bad for a twin turbo.

Yup. some typo or something... funny how I did the same thing twice. lol

25.6k makes sense. The 240sx weighed about the same as the BRZ but only put out 155hp stock.

You forgot to mention how long the stupid 240sx was. It didn't handle very good either, chassis was like a piece of noodle stock.

Kicking this into the rumor mill:

Subaru BRZ STI on the way: report | Car Advice

Sounds promising if true!
