s2k's are only awesome because they must have over 100k under the hood...

I expected this due to the hype of the car + limited production

ZMan8 · 04-11-2012, 02:13 PM

Side note, is it possible to contact toyota/subaru and order a barebones car straight from factory for much cheaper?

Track beast ready.

It shouldn't really matter for this type of car, but I think it's straight line performance is going to be it's downfall. The RX-8 was a great handling sports car too. Hopefully an STi version can save the day.

Thanks MC, yeah that looks like its ready for upgrading. I am hoping that nissan can release a 280sx/silvia an offer a tuners version for 16-17k that has nothing in it (no A/C, no CD player, no power, no fancy wheels)

If only Nissan thought that way. With our luck, it will be a "Nismo" version that will cost more, lol.

if your making a niche car, then appeal it to a niche crowd. As they would say on top gear, "I want a no nonsense car". I don't need buttons everywhere and lots of computer controlled stuff that can break. Give me the essentials.

EDIT: but you're probably right....

Good lord. The car will have lots of potential for sure. But it's hard to fork the cost for the car itself.

Damn. I do hope my dealer is reasonable and doesn't try to squeeze me dry.
