Shopping for dream classic sports cars and was wondering if anyone could tell me a round about how much mpg the following cars would give?
Chevrolet Corvette C3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvette_C3) preferably a 1980 – 1982 model
Porsche 944 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_944)
I have been looking for a first car, and I am currently considering these (some may seem a bit odd)
- Toyota Sequoia (might buy my aunt’s)
- Land Rover Defender (imported from UK)
- Mercedes G-class (imported from Germany, UK, wherever I can find one)
- Jaguar XJR (Not the current one, but the previous model)
- Porsche 911 (1980′s)
- BMW 750iL (pricey insurance, but it’s got a V12)
- Audi S4 (2.7 twin turbo it can be modified to a ridiculous level)
- Ferrari F355 replica (based on an MR2, but I’d feel a bit shallow)
- Lamborghini Murcielago Replica (same as the last one)
- Mitsubishi Montero 2 dr (It looks great as a rally car and I could modify it to resemble one)
- Jeep Wrangler TJ (I could stick a V8 into it)
- Porsche Boxster (1st gen, 2.5 liter 5 spd)
- VW GTI 2 dr (current model (used), 6 spd)
- Triumph Stag or TR6 (because they’re cool)
- Maserati Merak (a crappy one, but I could fix it)
Any opinions or other suggestions would be great!
My budget is 13k, there are 750il’s for that price range. They may not be good ones, but they’re out there.
One more thing. I’m not 17 yet, so the GTI may be around 13k when I am. I appreciate the speedy responses, and thank you all for dealing with my weirdness.
Was it a Publicity stunt, most Porkers are restricted to 155 and wont get above 135 anyway. did someone stick Porsche badges on a McLaren or something
whether it’s a little Ford Fiesta, Classic E-type Jaguar..Porsche 356B.
I have found out from lisetening to my cockney neighbours just what may be happening to our Cars over Night. Forget the people that pinch your car, by going down your letter box and grabbing your key on the side. This is something a little different.
What is happening, is people from real car trade are looking for copies of damsged cars that they have bought, coming to your house at night and then with a recovery unit, picking it up and away they go and it’s rung over with the damaged cars identity(some of these damsged cars are not recorded.)
My real question is, how do I report this to the Police, without giving my real name and having them prosecuted with near immdiate effect??
a 2007 911 turbo has Bose, Adaptive seats, Sat Nav, Telephone, Xenons, Traction & Stability control, Adaptive suspention. What major advantages does other luxury sports cars really have
Name all the cars that Dr. Porsche has designed. I would like to know more beyond that he designed the vw and the german tanks. can you be sure that he designed thses other cars? what are your sources?
I’d like to rent a classic car for a day, anything from a ’69 Mustang fastback to a Porsche 356, around Washington DC.
