Either an RX8, Evo, or a 3rd gen RX-7 (if I could find a clean one in good shape).

So, what would you all ride in if the Z never existed?
Engine noise? Isn't that a good thing? I prefer to listen to the motor than the exhaust. Vrrooom!

I was honestly looking at a Honda Accord Coupe or the Altima 3.5SE until the silver Z was unveiled. A Supra was in consideration, but they were hard to find. Then a prev. generation GS400 was considered as well. Lastly, a 240SX with an SR20DET and vLSD swap in mind.

Myself... if I woulda got to the used car lot a week sooner, I would be driving a black, MKIV, TT, targa top, 6-speed Supra. And I would still have it. Other than that, if the Z wasn't there, I would be driving an Apex Silver '03 Evo 8, which was number 2 on the list of cars to look at that day.

The only way the s2000's stereo could be worse than the 350z's is if it gave you herpes every time you ejected the CD.

Does the tire company make cars now too?

But seriously, the company truck would have to be more exciting than a solara.

Around here they are selling '06 Corvettes for about the price I paid for my ZR (plus 3.9% financing). I would probably have a C5.

or i would have shot for a z4...

I got passed by one of those Crossfires on the freeway, it was black.

The style isn't really my taste, however the black one at night, looked nice. Looked like some exotic Eurpean car.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Saturn Sky Redline. That or a Honda S2000.
