Whitestar Pilot Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 My nominations are 1)The Dodge Stratus coupe, which COULD have been badged a Stratus SRT and given the Neon SRT-4 motor. 2)The Mecury Cougar, which could have been so much more than lunch meat for a V-6 Eclipse GT.

whitetiger Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 the eclipse would have been nice if they kept the turbo 4G63 in the 3rd and 4th gen models. The celica would have been nice if it came with the 3SGTE in the later models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the Cougar, the Stratus is gay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 The Stratus RT coupe was actually a Mitsubishi Eclipse. It's not a "gay" car. It's more of a "womans "car. My wife had an 02' model with the 3.0 V6 and manual trans. Not exactly a race car, but plenty quick and very reliable. Here is the one she had.

Crawdaddy79 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Here's one for you: http://www.crawspace.com/web3/celica.jpg As a former owner of a Celica I must too stress my disappointment with the newest body style. Every Celica ever made has the same silhouette from the front/rear, but not the newest one - as well as brake light configuration (two vertical on each side, with one horizontal in the middle either on a spoiler or on the back seat deck). I think the newer one sold better than the older ones though. I definitely see a lot more of the newer ones on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-Five Sti-L Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 The Nissan 240SX (S13, 14, 15 esp.) would've been a hot item if it came with the SR20T, instead of the stupid truck engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B4 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I always thought the last gen Celica looked sporty... and it was definitely light weight enough to have been a contender with a more powerful engine. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 The NSX is nice. It just cost too much. the NXS is an outstanding machine but the title says "sold if they came with a set of balls" 290 hp in that car was a marketing mistake, maybe 390hp. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawdaddy79 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 2005+ Legacy GT Now that you mention the Legacy, it was the 2002-4(ish) Legacy that got me interested because of it's looks (sedan) - but when I saw how low power the engine was I didn't even look further. When the 2005 came out with the higher power engine I got interested again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
