got this delusion on my head

I kind think Nissan should make the new Altima into a rwd car. Yea all there ads are working on me. Sorta like the IS300 with the GS400 engine and a stick that what's there name is making nowadays.

the v6 ones are pretty fast, but take it from me the fit and finish is about a 6 out of ten and a 4 of ten with 10k miles on the clock.

Wasn't that IS300 build a one-off thing?

[kylebes1]

it started life as the four banger Altazea (sp) right?

and i do not think the g35 shares much other than the enigne with the nissan, chassis wise, i know the interiors are almost as cheap as a Nissan's and the GS 300 is a straight six. Wonder if they are updated Supra engines? if they are you the fuck has no one made a 1200 wrhp GS300? lol

btw, the lexus is a over priced Toyota where as the Infiniti is an opver priced Nissan, lol

Not really if you have the cash they'll build one for you. They are selling kits for them also I believe.

I like the styling of the cars but not the taillights. V6 6spd rwd would make a neat ride.

true, but many people such as myself would rather drive the overpriced toyota or overpriced nissan than a new MB.

I would not drive a mercedes, except a e55 AMG

I'd rather have an over priced toyota out of warranty than an over priced bmw out of warranty....whole other issue though


Greg- I agree, and I think its coming, look at the US cars, RWD is making a comeback, I think Japan will start to do the same thing, only better. They have fucking AWESOME motors, rivaling anything coming out of Germany until you get super high end, and with the drive layouts more conducive to great balance and spirited driving, we will see some radical car wars in the next few years

are you thinking of l-tuned kits?

i agree. The taillights should be changed to the jdm taillights. The solution to a very fast is300 is a 2JZ-GTE engine....that would haul ass

he's talking about millen, they'll make a v8 is300 for you, just like sound-performance will make a 6 speed twin turbo is300 for you if you have the loot

[1985bmw325e]

ehh, i'd rather swap a 2jz-gte engine since it's technically a direct swap

[Rob]

thats what this swap is. $25K though, not for the penny pinchers

[M-technik-3]

That's it Millen as in Rod Millen. But it's goes lick snoot and is a modern well ballanced car the engine actually weighs less.

I love the new E class MB's but there is no manual shifter on the horizon. BMW better think it's market stratagy very carefull over the next 4 years.
