What other cars catch your eye, and would you consider buying one?

[Roddy]

I agree. That's a sweet car. If they are 550 hp, and sell for slightly more then the Boss, I see a Track Pack version in my future.

Depending on the price, possibly my next car. If its Z28 priced I'll pass, if they keep it close to where the Boss was priced, I'll put a Grey one in my Garage in a second. Some nice spy vids, of testing with these cars on YouTube, nice exhaust note.

Still want a Saturn Sky Redline.

2014 Ford Focus ST. Didn't "catch my eye" initially but bought it anyway after a test drive. I hated the idea of a FWD daily, but this thing is setup to handle as well as any FWD can be - it's actually a lot of fun.

I've been waiting for the order banks to open on the 15s. It not my dream car, but I commute about 40,000 miles a year and haul all of my kids sports crap from field to field. I need something that is fun to drive, but can still do 200,000 miles in 5 years loaded down relatively reliably.

Which model did you get? I like the Recaros in the ST2 and 3, but I don't know if I want live with them for a Daily Driver.

My girlfriend has a 2013 Focus ST with the ST3 package. We love it. The seats are great in my opinion, but I've always owned sporty cars so I am used to the bolstering. We are getting 27.4 mpg average over the 18k miles we've put on it. We just put snow tires on it for winter, and with the excellent heated seats it is great for most winter days.

Add the Cadillac ATS-V coupe to my list. Manual, of course. That would make a fun daily driver, and the 455hp twin-turbos will be easy to turn up to over 500 hp. ATS is built on the next gen Camaro platform, so smaller than the current Camaro and proven to handle great on the track.

Neon SRT 'alum' here too. I had my 03 for ten years; just sold it this spring. I don't think the world will ever have another car that matches that car's character.

Same!
Wish I kept my '03 or picked up an ACR back when they were available in '05.



Was running 12s back in 03/04 on the stock turbo which at the time was pretty quick and messing with a lot of the Cobras, Eclipses and Corvettes etc.

Yep. I like the grey w/blk stripes too. Could be a fun HPDE car. Cars not even released yet, and I bet the aftermarket already has tunes, and bolt on's ready.

I hope so! Still waiting to see the price, and what it can do!

I got a black/black ST3. The Recaros are great and they are softening up a little after 1000 miles (or maybe I'm just getting used to it). They do grip you in really well, which can initially feel too tight, but for the handling of the car I can see why they're being used. I did sit in an ST1 just to see if I could live with the regular Focus seats and it just didn't fit the character of the car IMO.... reminded me too much of what an econobox it starts from haha.

The upgraded stereo in the ST2/3 is very good FWIW. Headlights on the ST3 are very good also (HIDs only on ST3). It has enough tech features on the ST3 that i'm not missing my S4 too badly yet.

Wow, you're doing really well in the MPG category! I'm hovering around 24 in my first 1000 miles... probably 50/50 highway and local driving. What kind of snow tires / wheels did you do for the ST? you have great taste in Viper colors so I figured you'd be a good resource. :-)

Not sure if this is supposed to be new or old models but...

'72 DeTomaso Pantera

Prices are up on them right now but I was giving them some serious looks at a resto model. 454 mated to a porsce transmission and you have a hell of a track car that barely anyone has heard of. Yes I know the Chevy motor in place of the Ford motor is sacriledge to some but there is a lot to be improved on that old winsor engine.

Personnaly, now that I have my Viper...what my other toy would be is a Vintage Lauterbach GP boat.( attached photo)...and if it has to be a car, AC Cobra 427.

Just sold my Gallardo. I'm a big CTS-V fan, I will continue to own those cars. Lots of vettes in the past, but I seem to be more into C5Z's vs the newer stuff. I really want a Ford GT.
