under 30k- 2001 Silvia
30-100K- Ligenfelter Corvette, or skyline
100k+- McLaren F1

BTW... Vancouvers14... where did you find that car out from?  Is it street legal anywhere?  Do they actually sell those to the public?  How much? and finally... Are they custom built around the driver like a McLaren?

i found aout about the lotec c1000 through a friend in germany. &nbsp;it was at the franfurt auto show about 10 or 12 years ago. &nbsp;its just sick. 0-60 in 3 sec. &nbsp;top speed 252mph. &nbsp;and styling that nobody else even comes close to. &nbsp;Just think, that car is 12 years old, and still looks like it 20 years ahead of its time. &nbsp;Its handmade by some guy in Germany. &nbsp;I think he makes about 2 per year at a cost of about $500000 to 900000 each

If I could have any car? &nbsp;hmmm.....definitely, one of the choices would be a R34 GT-R. &nbsp;If I were to go to the extreme, tho, it would be a Diablo or Ferrari F50. &nbsp;I'd probably still go for the R34. &nbsp;It would definitely fit me better than the latter 2 options.

I don't get this whole thing against domestics, there are some #### fine American designed cars on the road. I recall somebody here had a Corvette that he loved, and you've got to respect a well done Camaro <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

btw, my '90 Cheyenne 1500 is nearing 300k miles with nothing more expensive than an alternator replacement.

There's a 71 Camaro and a 64 Chevelle in my garage, but neither are mine. &nbsp;And my other roomate is bringing his 87 Corvette down this weekend. &nbsp;So I am living with a few Chevy guys.

I don't understand the whole &quot;American cars are crap&quot; thing either. &nbsp;Granted, there are a few crappy American cars, but there's some crappy imports also. &nbsp;As far as American muscle, I would love to own a '70 Chevelle 454 SS...or maybe a '68 Camaro SS/RS.
But the car that I have always to vowed to own someday is a BMW M3. &nbsp;Maybe by the time I can afford one, they'll have even more power.:biggrin: &nbsp;Until then, however, my little 240 will do just fine. &nbsp;I intend to keep it as long as I possibly can...keep it maintained and have a nice classic one day.

I figure it will follow a similar fate of the 240Z. &nbsp;Recently, Nissan restored a few of those and resold them for like $25K a piece. &nbsp;So, I guess it's pretty possible for the 240SX to become a collectible sports car. &nbsp;The main thing that distinguishes it from other cars...it is/was one of the only affordable RWD import sports cars available to the USDM.
