Yeah, seeing that i dont wanna blow 20 grand on a Twin turbo car that is 10 years old. Don't get me wrong, supra's can be fast, but when i buy a car like that im not gunna have money to mod it, i'll be making monthly payments. I'm prolly gunna save and just get an Evo8, i saw tailights you can buy to replaces the stock altezza's thats my only real beef with em.

they made them all the way to 98 I believe....
I don't like the Evo's anyways. Everyone is jumping on the WRX, EVO bandwagon becuase they are finally here. I would rather spend the money and get a slighty used M3 for the same price I could get an STi. AWD turbo has NOTHING on Inline 6 with 300+ HP great looks and unbelievable comfort...
Drove an E46 M3 many times...it rawks!!!!1

first off i didnt JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON... i've wanted an EVO since the EVO 6 was out and when i first went to japan to see the Jun Evo 6 drifting around the tsukuba circuit... so dont try and say im a bandwagon junkie
m3's are nice, but they're everywhere... either way i can drive my friend's turbocharged 3 series if i wanted to... complete with sparco racing seats for that extra comfort and security...

dude what are you talking about, You know how you can launch in a AWD turbo?
youd jump so far on an m3 it couldent catch up, The older m3's arent all that fast stock; i shit you not my friend beat one in his jeep v8, K&N intake(not air filter whole intake system, crazy ass gains on v8 jeeps), jet proformance chip, gibson exaust. The old m3's (96ish) only make 240 hp. And you know how much they cost to get a turbo or buy parts for, all of the aftermarket stuff is sooo expensive just cuz its a bmw. I used to be an m3 fan, and i still think they are beatiful cars but i saw the light, relized that they arent as great as i thought they were.
an another note, yeah i wanna save for like 6-10 months then get an EVO8 unless i can find a good deal on an STi, bottom line evo will be cheaper :\

your one of the few and far between.......ok, lemme refraise this.....95% of people out there are bandwagon jumpers.....
IMO...M3's are unbelievable. Comfortable, handle well, and are extremly fast..faster than most other cars out on the road. Example: One my friend got his M3 we were hangin out at my house with a bunch of people. He had the car two weeks. We were shootin the shit about his M3 and he said, Bill, take it for a beat run. I told him "get the fuck outta here", he said "no serious, its full, I just filled up, just put whatever gas you use back in". I said, lemme get this striaght, you want me to take your 50K car, and beat the bag out of it, then just fill it up???" he said "yeah"...ok then.....
so I take my boy steve out, and we get on the highway. easily we are doing from the bottom of the ramp to the top about 100 (and this isn't a very long ramp) we slow down and we go to my friend Jays house, who loves Bimmers. He wasn't home, so we decide to head BACK to my house. I let steve drive. We get back on the highway, and a 96 Corvette pulls past us, then slows. The driver looks next to ass, revs, and then guns it. Steve drops it a hair behind the other guy and just walked past him in the M3.....the car felt at 130 like you were doin 90......
Point of this story??? The M3 OWNZ!!!! there aren't that many around, and I have prolly seen more evos and sti's around than M3's in the last 3 months or so......

definatly don't live in Cali. You can have that state with your earthquakes, pollution and governatorial mess.....
You prefer to buy an evo, thats cool, I prefer an M3. Whether it is a better all around car is your opinion and what you base it on. Like I siad earlier, IMO, I like the M3 becuase of the Comfort and luxury, the handling, the power. I do not like the Evo becuase of the looks and becuase of the build quality (I have had more than a few friends with various mitsubishis and IMO, the build quality is lacking).

Vote Arnold, at least he will do a better job than Gay Davis. (Just moved from Cali.) Jason, remember me, 02SI, we were supposed to go to Import Revolution, but I never got the chance to call you back.
