Tom McParland writes a lot in "CarBuying", he is a car broker by profession. I was frustrated reading his drivel about why someone wouldn't have the time to actually shop for a car for themselves and hand over $500 for a broker to make that decision for them - but the fact that he doesn't even have the time and…

I loathed these in high school, because every rich kid with car enthusiast parents got one of these (or an Integra) for his 16th birthday/graduation. However, ANYTHING fun to drive, that clean, relatively reliable with a manual transmission for $3K is a NP.
"Time and priorities". I agree - after this declaration, I intend to never waste my time reading anything car related you've ever written again.
My dad taught me to wrench on cars, I still own the 1959 PV544 that we rebuilt before my 16th birthday (I'm 40). I do not intend to deprive my son of the opportunity I was given.
"XK8 with an LS2 and a Manual Tranmission"? Oh hell yes.
Considering how thick and well laid the paint on my 1997 XJ6 VDP was, I can't imagine how much abuse it takes to sun fade the paint to this. NP just because it *IS* an XK8 for under $2000, but damn - that's rough.
Yes, you can. When my father passed away last year, I sold his one owner with all records, manual transmission Polo green over tan 1994 Corvette with 65K miles on it for $9000 (after listing on eBay, Autotrader, and the Corvette forums for over 3 months). The LT4 (on the 1996 only) is stronger than the LT1,…
Looks like it will compete directly with the X1 and M-B GLA, and I like the swoops. Will RWD and a Manual Transmission be offered?
Do they still make the Verano Turbo with a manual? I can't even configure one on the Buick website. I'd love to see just how many they sold that way.
Best intake ever.

My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give you.
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.
