All with great potential/power/handling, etc, but all through and through, chick cars. Nothing can be done to change that outside of outlandish body work.
Which is what I'd do to a miata
yup lol... its beyond the "performance and engine" its just all in all girly lolOriginally Posted by TunerMaxima3000
I have to respectfully disagree. A mazda MX-5 (miata) is through and through a chick car, but they can be beasts, fast, a bloody riot, and are all around a super capable car.This applies to many, many cars. Another is a Porche Boxster.

Challenger is way too cool for that comparison. Oddly enough, it's interior is even more hideous. But still cool car.
Maybe you should set your sights a little lower and consider the new Scion FR-S when you land yourself a job? I know you're more into looks, but that's supposed to be a serious driver's car. I'm looking forward to a test-drive. Are they even at the dealerships yet?

I would recommend buying a mount from the auto parts store just to see if it fits better. If not just return it. I think you're experiencing the same thing I did. That whole sentra/maxima hybrid tranny concept doesn't make sense because the sentra 6MT won't work with the 5MT bell housing.
No the sentra 5spd.Originally Posted by essential1
So right now, is it as I described where the mount sits too high for it to bolt up to the tranny? Or are the mounting points completely off?

There are all kinds of cars at my office park. My employer's 550i 6MT, my co-workers SLK55 AMG, my G37S 6MT, this Audi S4, a new Challenger SRT8, a couple of C6's (one convertible), a beautiful white Infiniti M56, a couple of vintage Jaguars, a drop-dead gorgeous black on black 740i, about two dozen various 3- and 5-series BMW's, and on and on.
Most of these cars park on the periphery of the lot, like I do, and there's an unspoken respect about parking next to one another that you don't get if you park closer to the buildings.
Sometimes I like to take a break and just walk around. It's nice.
Please explain to me what I need to do to get a job at your company so I can bring in a salary that will allow me to join the ballin' cars club of your office's parking lot.Originally Posted by Rochester

Added 3-4 degrees globally by removing 4-6% fuel. 2-3 degrees more and I'm back to normal. VE seems to go up too, g/s.

All kidding aside, I don't steal cars. And I sure wouldn't look at a high-end car if I did do anything like that. I do my best to fly under the radar - don't need any more attention from the State ><

Worse porsche ever made, Cayman. I cant stand that ugly piece of ****. Now if there were ever a "only 1 reason people buy a X" the Cayman is the perfect example.

As far as the Cayman goes, I really like the Cayman S with the DFI engine. I drove one with the PDK double clutch transmission with the Sport Chrono package which included the upgraded suspension and 19" wheels. It was a beast of a little car.
