For me, it'd probably be a BMW 135i. That'll probably be my next car actually. Employee discount!!

uhhh Boss 302 doesnt come in a baby blue--only blue offered is a very dark blue. Someone trying to clone one maybe.
The Boss 302 is such a different car i dont even consider it a Mustang.
Sum bitch rocks and it is rock solid.
You cant even clone a mustang Gt into a Boss with Ford racing parts.
Very special car--just like ours and with 4 seats and a good sized trunk.

I plan to always have a rotary in my driveway, however it may be a second car or race only.
The other car next car may be a C5 Z06 or M5/540 e39.

If I didn't drive an RX8. I'd be driving a 1987 RX7 Turbo II.

Oh wait. I do drive a 1987 RX7 Turbo II.

If I wasn't driving an Rx8, I'd be driving an Rx7.

Oh wait, I have a 1990 as well, myself.

Maybe it'd have to be an FD, haha. I do need a Repu now, however, but that's another story.

If I weren't driving a Mazda, it'd have to be a Lotus Exige of some sort. That, or a Porsche 911. Both are pretty freaking hawt.

I instruct at the local autocross track and one of the stock cars that was surprisingly nice to drive fast was the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Similar handling to the Rx8 with more power. I don't know if I could buy a Hyundai though.

If I wasn't driving my RX-8 I have no idea what I'd be driving. In fact, I've been giving this a lot of thought because my baby is getting up there in years and mileage, and I know she won't last forever. Maybe an A5. Maybe an M3 or M5. Whatever it is, it's going to to be hard pressed to match my 8 in terms of fun. I refuse to drive a "normal" car, so this is going to be a very tough question.

Realistically, '65 Mustangs are my cup of tea. This one is reasonably priced.


Unrealistically, I would love to have one of these...

I don't have an 8, so I'll keep what I have. And for those who say a Porsche is unreliable, they have not owned an "80's 911.

If you looked at an earlier Esprit, the last year of the original Guigario body style is actually quite reasonable (mid-teens USD).

If I had not been able to come to an agreeable price for the RX-8, my intention had been to find as stock as possible FD; but because of the oddities of financing that existed in the Autumn of 2004, it was less expensive to lease my RX-8 and then buy it out than to finance it and then pay the balloon payment at the end that the bank the dealer was using wanted. Consequently, I leased it with the intention of buying out the lease, and towards the end of the lease, my wife and I started trying for children, so I figured that since the lease buy-out price was about the same as the aforementioned early Esprit, I would let the RX-8 go and buy a 1986 Lotus Esprit if it turned out that my wife and I could not have children. As it happened, my daughter arrived and the RX-8 is still very much a member of the family.
