88 Nissan 240SX for like 50 miles city/highway/ exit ramps and all ... and I thought it was such a fun car!! RWD sweeeet and you have nice oversteer control which is fun and not so civilized!! The car is so low and sleeek, can easily go fast.. Ahh I dont want to drift away from Audi.. help me !! haha

...Nissan makes some great stuff. 300ZX, 240sx, and my all time fav the 1978 280ZX. Had alot of fun rippin thru the streets of Harvard Square in my Uncle's super sweet silver 280ZX (r.i.p.). After watching Tommy Kendall beat on a RS6 and a S4V8 in the rain at Loudon, NH, well quattro is were my heart.

I was about to drive my friend down to Indy to pick up a 1998 Eagle Talon, TSI AWD a few weekends ago. Before we left, he asked If I wanted to drive his other car (1990 Talon, TSI AWD), before we left. How could I refuse, this sucker has tons of power. So, I drove it for about 10 mins with him, and I was tossed back in my seat numerous times, boosting like crazy. I wouldnt buy one, but its one hell of a ride, I'll tell you that much. Fastest car Ive driven to date.

1983 Porsche 911... now aside from the sloppiest gearbox ever, i'd trade my nut for that car... original paint, original everything 87k miles 5spd 3.0 boxer6 roughly 207hp 0-60 in under 7seconds and boy does it handle well at 120 ;)

not to mention i was a valet for 2-3 years so i've driven almost everything under the sun at one point or another... no ferrari's or lambo's however...

i want a 91 or 92 coupe cuz it has the dohc ka24(d)e engine instead of the single over ka24e and the coupes have much more style

has to be the COOOLEST 'car guys' job, well If you work at a high class place :-) I'm thinking about doing that, just have to wait till I turn 18 ( I think?) And ohh yes I would NEVER mind a 911 ;) Rode in a 74, was a reeeally awesome ride.

The Boxster (2.5L) used an 012 gearbox, and the 944 used parts of a 016 (different bell housing pattern to facilitate rear-mounting the trans/clutch and linking to the engine with a torque tube).

This is all going from memory, so YMMV.

I haven't heard of many low class places offering valet parking! :D

Well, maybe some nudie clubs, but I wouldn't know about that sort of thing.

Engine wiring harness sucked - not previously messed with & I ended up replacing it. I was constantly chasing coolant leaks from zillions of little coolant hoses that were a big PITA to get at. To get all of them, I'd have to pull the whole damned car apart. The CGT is MUCH easier to work on.

Yeah, it was quick, looked nice in a generic Japanese way, and handled well, but it lacked personality and the steering was overboosted.

Also, every moron on the planet seemed to want to race it. (???)

The CGT is a better car.
