    Cheap horsepower, because for some reason people find them ugly, personally i prefer them over the blob or hawkeyed models.

    97 Xjr.

    It was originally a drug dealers car (explains the wheels) that was seized by the FBI in a drug raid and my friend bought it at an auction for relatively cheap because it had a few problems. He had an accident and needed the money though so I bought it off him.

    I ended up paying more to get it running than I did for the car, and it's still not perfect.

    Being a drug dealers car though it has all the cool gadgets in it. Tv's in the sun visors, 2 18' subs in back, Precision Power PCX5800 amp, and those 20' rims.

    The point of an XJR is to look kind of subtle, drug dealer wheels just ruin it imo. :(

    Me too, if I could afford a scoob I'd have one with the black bugeyes without a doubt, the others just aren't good looking to me.

    Heresy! :p

    With a few notable exceptions i find most of the bug eye models hideous and consider them the low point of the Impreza designs!

    Thanks. Most likely. But we'll see. I might put the original Nismo wing that came on the Nismo version on it, here.

    I've been wanting to go to a road course near me, but my 300zx wouldn't have survived any hard driving. So now that I this 350 I might start doing some track days.

    I test drove a new 370Z just for kicks, and I can say that the new synchro rev match is amazing.

    I'm not really a fan of the Nissan Z-cars, but with that Nismo rear wing it looks pretty badass.

    The revmatch on the 370Z is a pretty clever idea, probably saves a bit of gearbox wear too.

    Is there also a pistol holder on the glove box? :naughty: I remember seeing some 750iL-bmw with that... Nice car, but I'd definitely swap the damn wheels. Unless you're a black rapper those are just too much :lol:

    I am so going to buy one of those 350Z's, awesome car.

    £10,000 for a 2005 car, the insurance is the same or less than a Golf GTI (or Focus ST). When I turn 25, the insurance should be doable... one more year. :)

    Hah! And here I'm aiming for insurance on the same class/group of car at 23 or 24 next year. Wish me luck ;) It won't be that big a deal if I have to pay through the roof for the first year, as long as they lower it once I turn 25!

    I'm still sticking my parents on as named drivers to lower my premiums (£200-£300 off). :clap:
    Insurance is around £1100 now, drops to £850 or so in a years time (current car for reference is £350 - '98 Polo 1.4).
