lol a gremlin?? I know a guy who put a 350 in a gremlin. :)

And on a side note, who said that we'll never drive the supercars? I've been in (haven't driven, still working on that) an 86 1/2 Countach. I've driven a 94 Viper R/T, 92..? Porsche 930, 91 NSX, driven in (not driven :)

I'm really confused on why everyone here lists the rx-7 and rx-8 on so many of their dream car lists? I've driven a rx-8 and hated it, not a bad car but for the money I want some power damnit. I've drove a stock '93 rx-7 turbo. Was alright but still REALLY annoying to have to rev the **** out of it to go anywhere. Felt like a 125cc dirt bike.. I thought thats most of us here on mx-3.com are attracted to mx-3s cause the are light and have gobbs of torque for their size. Unlike rotaries. I just love going fast in every gear right away not having to down shift so much... But maybe thats just my messed up brain. Being I did own a Civic hatchback! Not to mention every built up rotary you see that makes more power than stock never lasts long, and while it is making that power can barely be street drivin. Once again, correct me if i'm being retarded...

My all time favorite car is the 1957 Chevy 2 door hardtop. I have one sitting in my shop waiting to be restored once all my kids are in school.

The other car that I would want is a 95-99 eclipse GSX, 5 speed.

Here I go...

My DREAM car is a Nissan Skyline R32. Blue, with an N/A engine. I love N/A...

I would love to own an MX-3 of both types, a Honda CRX (they remind me of a boxy mx-3, whaddya think?), or a hatchback civic... Doesn't matter to me if its the later smooth one, or the older boxier one.

BMW M3's are beautiful.

And, I know this isn't a CAR, but a Ninja 250. Which I actually plan on owning some time in the near future. Summer perhaps?? My brother and I are gonna each get one, and raise some hell ^_^. ;)

Hmmmm............ favorite car?

I'd totally love an '86 Alfa Romeo GTV6.... they look sooooo kewl

Definitely on the list is the WRX STi Spec C..... awesome car, and relatively "inexpensive" (for the performance) at around $50k USD.......

Ooooooh, how about my MX-3 with the BP swap (finally) completed, a turbo for every cylinder (just to spite people!) and a 6-speed tranny? that'd pwn

But, ultimate dream car? An Alfa Romeo TZ2
Super f'in rare though.

On the topic of favorite cars, I think the Subaru SVX is damn cool (my friend backed out on me when I was gonna buy his). Problem: too frickin heavy... 3500 pounds without a driver... oh, and they only made an automatic transmission model.

If I had unlimited amounts of cash, I'd transplant a Subaru SVX engine into my MX-3, stick on a WRX STi 6-speed onto it, and have custom work done to convert it to AWD.... turbocharge the thing, run it on race gas all of its life.... oh yeah... that'd be awesome

I <3 subarus.
