Daily sports car?

Sorry about the broken links, I guess the img tag doesn't work as it used to.. had to insert them with the editor button, you just got to the reply before I could edit in the fixes. Glad you like the car, it was a life goal and I've had some great times with her. I do drive it whenever I feel, even to get groceries. Life's short, enjoy it while you can. One more pic to make the post worthwhile.20210531135254-67bd16b8-me.jpg
 
Not gonna lie @Shaman, I'm not a fan of white cars in any way shape or form...but that thing is sexy as f$@k.

Maybe one day. Maybe.

EDIT: I think my attainable Porsche would be a Porsche Boxster or Cayman S used.

Not the same as your beast...but it'll do me just fine. Now just gotta pay down the mortgage so I can afford it lol

I’m really loving the look and sound of the GR86.

Honestly I think I’d snap one up as an affordable toy instead of an MX5.

Not too powerful, a bit small, but sounds like a good and attainable toy car.

Find a small dealer if you want to order one...Toyota just gave us our targets for 2023 and we are getting 4....out of 12 already ordered for the year.

Can’t afford it now anyway. Have other priorities for my cash.

From the threads here I’m among the poors of GTAM!

Wife drives a small BMW , she’s has it 5 yrs , zero issues but she doesn’t drive hard or far . It’s sporty but by todays measure of a sports car , not so much . Probably only 250hp ish , but my MGB which was considered a sports car was about 28 hp so ….

The weight of a car means more to me than the HP. It's about ratio. Think a Mustang GT is like 3800lbs. It must be cheaper to use a big displacement engine in a steel bodied, Iron suspension car, compared to using an aluminum body and aluminum suspension.
Full discloser, I say that as a Boxster owner. 2900lbs.

That depends. Are they trying to get supercar power out of a corolla engine? They should probably just add rockets. They have lots and it would make their car stand out in the market.

I hear they have tens of thousands of hummer engines, could have gone that route too 😆

Car looks ok. I would want it a little nicer underneath for 170K (shocks looks like they have been around for a while, airbags in springs seems a little half-assed, etc). Better brakes were a good plan. I highly dislike the stupid wheels. If you are going to ruin the look of a classic car, at least pick one that wasn't so awesome to begin with (a plain GN instead of a GNX). At least stupid wheels are easy to rectify.
