I'd be happier to see a new 240sx/Silvia...

I still want a S15 really bad, one of these days i'll get one or i'll just get another S14 and swap something crazy under the hood.

I think the new GTR look pretty sweet. But still too much to buy one. Perhap until 50k or less, or more than 70k i prefer c7

It will be out before the NSX and the McLaren p13. Porsche will have lots of new competitors cause the gallardo replacement will be here by next year and the R8 will be here after that.

Porsche? Porsche is at least somewhat pedestrian, you can buy it for a reasonable amount of money.

You know, I'm fed up with all this news of V10 this V12 that, 600 horsepower this 900 horsepower that, 5 liter this 7 liter that, where's the new cars for sane, practical people? Or at least people with a hint of sanity? Where's the new MR2 or something?

There are plenty of sane cars out there. What do you want? 300HP and 4 doors?

Where bigger is always better!

Its why a car like the BRZ/FRS is so refreshing. It may be weaksauce compared to tons of cars out there but its dinky in size comparison too.

cant believe they would think about making it bigger......the things a pig already.
I think the reason it defies all logic as much as it can is because of the computers helping it to.

Pig difference:

The R35 Godzilla is also close to 3800lbs IIRC. That's HEAVY. You can add power, but hiding/removing mass is HARD. It's a Japanese muscle car; analogous to a GT500 Mustang would be if the Mustang was a Japanese car.

Super edit: I think I'm becoming a weight weenie.
These size comparisons are interesting to see, thx for posting.
