Default my best friend got hit by a drunk driver...his car is totalled -- Opinions on what he should get?!

His civic was pretty hooked up...no rice stickers or anything just some engine work and wheels. He is looking into a VR-4, a GSX, 300zx tt, 3rd gen. RX7 or a GSR...any experience or suggestions?

Thanks,
Jon Ghenn

Default Hmmm... tell him to go german... if not, here's my short list of acceptable Jap cars.

Attainable:
Acura Integra Type R (a REAL one)
Eagle Talon/Mitsu Eclipse TSi AWD

Not so attainable:
Skyline
NSX
Supra TT
RX-7 TT
300ZX TT


Feel free to add some, I'm sure I've missed a couple.

Default I'm a big fan of the 300z TT (check e-bay, there are some nice ones!) but for something else... WRX!

That car is awesome! Just a suggestion...

Default Eh, I wouldn't go that far.

Some of them are great cars. I guess I don't like them because there's so many people who rice them out that its gotten old. I have a couple friends that really like Japanese cars, in fact most of my friends, and they proceed to bash Euro's which honestly gets under my skin. I don't bash their hopeful dreams of buying a Supra TT or 300ZX TT, why do they need to bash cars such as the M3, S4, etc. I just get tired of that, sorry, thats personal experiences speaking, but most Japanese cars seem like they came from the same cookie cutter.
