Next Car?

[DopamineQuest]

Keep pondering a c6 z06 or a c6 Zr1, but their interiors are so bad. May just turn this up to 1k wheel and be done with it.

alfa romeo quadrifoglio, except it's expensive as balls but it looks like a cooler bmw lol

Assuming you’re referring to the Giulia, I 100% agree.

I think the HP on the M440i is around 400 in our car. That cars ability really is handling, especially in sport mode.

You have an extensive list with much detail on the cars you would buy. Good write up on all of them. That’s awesome you are giving the Mustang to you nephew, hopefully he will appreciate the car.

yessir it's so aggressive but sleek at the same time and that triangle front grille is iconic

Same here, plan on keeping the stang forever. Just thinking about what to get next since the stang is paid off!!

I can't afford any of the exotics (6 figures minimum) not to mention I won't buy anything I can't work on myself generally. Those brands tend to require OEM scantools (aftermarket has nothing for Lambos, Ferraris, etc.) so that's an automatic disqualification. Besides, I'm old as hell and probably won't last too much longer anyway (though a few guys here are a few years older than I am and look fantastic for their age!)

Realistically I would guess a Hearse but I will never know for sure. Kidding of course. My GT is that car. My daily is an F-250 XLT Supercab and I sold my 50+ year old cars. Had to get them out of my system and I will never again look for another ride unless I fell into a M1 with all the goodies my premium has.

Clearly a "Ford man" based on the current vehicles you have. I've always been a Ford guy at heart (from back in the Bob Glidden, John Force, Mark Martin, etc. days) though I had a stretch of Hondas since 1989. I know back in the day Chevys were always easier to build up (small block parts interchangeable etc. unlike Ford where only some Windsor stuff was somewhat interchangeable) but I always liked the fact they didn't break down as often especially in drag racing (axles, rear ends, motors, etc.) They also seemed more reliable back then and the "fix or repair daily" thing didn't sit well with me so I changed it to "First On Race Day" which worked for my car back then when comparing apples to apples.

I traded my 16 Charger SCAT for my 21 Mustang GT Premium! It was a great car, just wanted something different. WAY heaver though...but that 392 has some awesome off the line torque. Mustang is faster once it revs.

That's the thing with the Coyote. It's so much smaller than most other comparable cars (like the Camaro) yet performance and fuel economy is so much better considering it's size. Reminds me of the first Honda S2000 that was only 2.0L NA (120 cubic inches) yet was rated at 240 HP. Incredible for the time and I think it had like a 8,000 or 8,500 redline?

That never gets old my friend!

Especially if you have smoke wrapped around the wheel wells!

It won't be an S650. I find the exterior styling uninspired, derivative of other cars, and lacking traditional Mustang styling cues except maybe the triple bar taillights. The screen-dominated interior is even worse.

If I have to replace my current car, either a low-mileage S550 if I can find one; otherwise I might go with a new Miata.

How's this for a low-mileage 550..... about 4,800 miles to date, though I won't be selling anytime soon. I just wish I could use it more but I'm still at the state where there's no dings and such so I hate leaving the car in a parking lot unattended. I have to get over it so I can use it more like a DD than my Honda.

Next is probably something responsible that I can drive virtually anywhere at any time. Explorer ST has made its way onto the list, as has a Porsche Macan. But I probably need a home I can call mine before I have 3 vehicles in the fleet. Or I could be very responsible and buy my mom a car.

Absolute grail car is a 2017+ Audi R8. Since it's going the way of the dinosaurs at the end of the year, unsure if/when I can make that happen. But with some smart finances, I can pour money into savings after I get my student loans paid off.

I definitely want a 2004 Cobra at some point, but I already have a mustang so that can wait.

The goal is to have a warehouse with a 20+ car collection in it one day.

With you on the want for a Termi. And I love the warehouse idea. I've joked that I want a car for each day of the week and honestly, it's trending that way lol.

I dunno, maybe something with AWD or an EV. Tired of spinning tires at red lights

Maybe you just need better tires? I very rarely spin my 305 PS4Ss.

I guess it depends if I’m still doing all my track rat $hit

You know you will be

I'm with you on the Audi R8. I found the perfect one for me about 2 years ago, a 2015 carbon V10 Spyder with high mileage and lots of upgrades. But it was out of state, and somebody local bought it before I could. Buying a vehicle remotely is always a disadvantage.

My next ride will be a hearse.

TVR Sagaris





but really, an imported FD2 Civic Type R as a weekend car. A S550 50th Anniversary or Bullitt, something rarer than the typical S550. The S197 would still be the daily. Would love to replace my wife’s 2016 Accord with something of the like, but not another Accord, the new one is ugly. Maybe a Mazda CX50, looks awesome.
