The original G35 / G37S coupe is the first thing that comes to mind. I understand we are comparing a flowing (you might say bulbous) 2+2 coupe to a huge sedan, but the belt line of the M45 is just so flat and "Panther-like" I can't get over it.

Are you blind?
According to "V8 Archie", going from the 2.8 V6 to a LT-1 only added 130 lbs, roughly 100 over the rear wheels and 30 over the front. While that's significant, it's not nearly the radical discrepancy that (for example) the Viper V10 in the front of the S2000 would make - especially since that added weight is right…
I would bet that with $8K cash and some searching, I could find a LS2 swapped Fiero. Alas, I think this one with an LT4 out of a '96 Corvette (330 HP) would be sufficiently stupid:
LOL. Shut up, Elon. No one believes you anymore.
Find a newer, full size SUV driven by a soccer mom texting on her phone, drive in front of her, and slam on the brakes. When she clobbers the back of that little thing and the insurance company declares it a total loss, use GAP (required on your lease) and pay off everything.
"Drama Token" is an excellent phrase that I will use in the future. Did you make it up?
But will it be offered in metallic brown with a manual?
I've seen some amazing deals on XK8 coupes - I like the cut of your jib, sir. I would say this - if I was going to drive 10K or more miles a year, I'd stick with the Panther. The XK's are (obviously) vastly better looking, but when you find a British Racing Green over Camel low mileage coupe - you're going to want…
That forum is full of good people. One of the reasons that I will stick with BMW's, Jaguars, and Panther platform cars is because of the user community. The worst I've run across are the Honda forums, followed by Volvo.
Gorgeous.
Lexus after the SC300/SC400 <> "Cheap Luxury". You'll pay through the nose for a comparable LS (compared to a Mercedes, BMW, etc). Yeah, it might be more reliable - but you're basically losing all that savings up front by paying for the mythology of the bulletproof (and boring) Toyota.
And what do you drive now, 6shelBfan6?
As said below - Panthers are easy to wrench on and quite reliable. I personally prefer the looks and ride of a Marauder or even Crown Vic Sport (or clone).
Used Corvettes are always going to be the best deal in "traditional sports cars" (fast, RWD, two seaters). You can get into a low mileage, stick shift C5 for the mid-teens pretty easy - and the LS1 is very easy to work on and find parts for (relatively speaking). No, it's not going to be quite as reliable as a…
Hey Tavarish (or anyone here in the coastal south who subscribes to your "art of the flip" lessons) - please save this car : http://myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/cto/4887486476… I don't know enough about suspensions - but it's the last of the blown straight sixes with 52K miles on it and it looks like it's straight from…
Give me a traditional key (that can be copied for two bucks at WalMart), crank windows, and manual door locks any day over the start button and all electronic crap that is going to break. A mid 90's Corolla with 150K miles on it is more durable than a brand new Lexus just for that reason - and frankly, they are both…
Hm - you might be right. I can't find it now, but I could have sworn it was available on the "build-your-own" 2014 model year for Overseas Military Sales in Europe and the Middle East. I guess I could have confused the actual M vehicle with an M-Sport package car, though - which (in brown, manual, RWD wagon) is…
