@ Viscous pic of Camaro?

Figured you'd know it. Maybe it's a European thing with love for Camaro.

That thing is sweet! I've been thinking about building one myself just like that.

I mentioned on the LA vs NYC thread that I have to drive about every car made and I test them in a small walking tourist area near my work.

I gauge the reaction of the women walking while I'm driving of all ages so I'm going to run down what they seem to like but first lets go over what you guys drive and I'll tell you what kind of reaction I've gotten..

My old car, next one was a 135i

That's pretty tight. I'd paint the side vents black and lose the spoiler.

Neutral but girls like Benz

Phew, I can sleep tonight.

Hardtop or Convertible, I think I know the answer.

[Menace]

em, then bewteen:

Audi A4 and A6
BMW 3 series or 5
Mercedes C class or E,

which is most alpha?

[presidentcarter]

What about my car (the TR6 is hibernating in a garage until I restore the engine one day) sitting next to something fancy? What's your call...I know you'll say beta on my BMW...but what about the rolls?

They're all about the same but here's the trick..Find the body style and buy it whichever form has the most HP. C 300? No C63? Yes

3 series? no M3 yes.

Beta thinking makes you worry about some extra money it costs and spending more in gas. Alphas think about pussy, burnouts and 1/4 mile times.

Not mine

[el mechanico]

442 is cool but doesn't have the grit some older muscle cars have like an AMX or Chevelle. I remember the guys that had them in Highschool were not alpha and didn't win races so I'll give it a neutral leaning alpha.

The truck is Alpha but the color isn't.

The Buick is beta as it gets.

[Hotwheels]

And some former rides;









Achieva SCX-1200 built and fast for it's time.

[el mechanico]

6 wheel Benz, Alpha

Caddy, Alpha

442, Alpha

Cutlass Supreme, Beta

Achieva, Very beta

I've heard girls dis rangers. It's like it registered in their minds that that's a beta car somehow. This happened two different times.

Like this with V8 Alpha. Any other way is not.

[slubu]

I had fun with my 335i, chipped it to 400hp/400torque at the engine.

So let's say I had 20-30k to spend on the next car. Recommendations? Has to come in manual, and has to be reliable. Thoughts are a 996 Porsche 911, circa 2002-2003. If I could find some sort of SUV/Jeep/etc. so my dog can ride comfortably (or drive around multiple girls) I'm up for that too.
