Gotta love the "never thought I'd see the day when I'd sell it" after owning it for only 2 years. Try owning one for 13 years and then try saying it Sounds like you move around a bit with car's you own so it shouldn't have surprised ya much but the car's your looking at getting are also very nice choices. BTW the paint job look great on the FD, was it as good at 2 feet and also nice rims you put on it.

I was "forced" to sell this car because of work and just the need for a more practical car. I had NO intentions on selling the car because as you can tell it is a BEAUTIFUL car and I loved it, but it's what I had to do at this point in time :-(

I would love an 03/04 Cobra, but I heard their gas mileage is HORRIBLE! But who knows.

CTS-V looks nice, it's like 4 door GTO by Caddy

Had one before the 7. Lacked the power, was nice a luxurious but lacked power and the MPG was horrible for how much power it had. My FD had better gas mileage

On svtperformance the majority of the owners claim their cobras get 25+mpg highway. (one even said he got 26mpg on a trip and his has 440whp) The LSx gm motors are the gas mileage/liter kings though! New Z06 can get damn near 30mpg highway

EDIT: A friend of mine just bought an 02 Z06 with 105k miles for $15,000. I couldnt believe it. Runs fine too! Abs needs to fixed though.

^ that M3 there is a fine example of one of my all time favorite cars. and it is silver the best color for an M3... Anyhow best of luck to you. in about 6moths You will regret it and want to come back. those other cars are nice but once you own a seven it is hard to move forward and not look back.

I second that, but what do you need this next car for? Transportation? Who cares about having a really nice BMW.. just get something practical if you're needing a 4 door sedan. Get a new Honda Accord or Toyota Camary. Just keep in mind, nothing you own next, sports car or whatever, will ever feel or be the same as driving an RX-7. Sucks you had to let her go, that was a clean car. Good luck.

I truely dislike mustangs. Being a tall person, they absoulute suck to drive. NOT to mention the amount of cheap plastic used in the interior. I guess in that regards it's kinda like the 7 BBUUTTT you get my point. Don't get a mustang.

LOL @ the get the rx8 comments.

Im telling you dude, GTO if you want raw power with seating for 4 ORRR G35 coupe for luxury, style, maturity and still good power with decent MPG.

I prefer the G35 but thats just me. But judging all your previous posts, it seems like the G35 coupe will suit your needs 110%.

Yeah, but does not come close to comparing to the GTO in terms of power. Even turbo'd... But I think the Bimmer or the G35 are both much nicer cars. Don't get my wrong, I like the GTO but I think the other two are much more refined...

I know that, thats why i said get the GTO if he wants raw power.

When you're in the G35, you wont think about "racing" other people. You feel high class when you're in one. You just wanna enjoy the car.

Its hard to explain which is why i said to just drive one and you will understand.

Test drove a GTO and I think I'm set on it. Was a pretty strong car and you can't lose with an LS2
