If i just wanted fast and didn't care about much else. I would have taken the 25K I put down on the Z, and got something like an 03 cobra and dumped 10K into it and had a 10 sec street car. I don't hate because of brand, i just personally think it's fugly. I like the new CRX, and the S2K, there are car in every brand i like. I'm no brand snob.
