I to like those WRX's, not big on there headlights though.

Wonder if we could get our L's to be AWD also???

 

the only thing better than 1 is having 2 i had three for a while. having 2 alike its had to remember which 1 i am driving. i think the short bed powerstroke would be a good tow truck for my lightning and twister mustang and cobra twister all on 1 tralier. wasn't there an excurison running 14sec flat quaters some where.

 

Doesn't Mercedes-Benz make a high-performance SUV for about 60 plus grand or so? The name ML55 sounds familiar to me.

Probably not quite as fast as a Lightning out of the hole, but great highway pick-up. Something like 60 to 100 MPH under three seconds. I imagine it could be used for towing.

Anybody know anything about ML55? Or, am I dreaming?

 

2001 M3 Convertible + 10k left over for audio and performance tweaks

 

2002 M3 with sequential trans (on order). ML55 is correct around 360hp I believe. Nice ride. Currently have an ML430, not near as fast.

I have an ML55 as well as an L. The ML55 is a very fast & excellent SUV, it is however not in the same performance class as a the L. The ML55 is perfect for towing a boat or a couple of Waverunners. The M Class is also wonderful for wintry & snowy travel where the L can be downright scary. Now that I think about it, @ WOT & it's S/C screaming, the L can be scary even on dry pavement in the dead of summer. The ML is a rewarding SUV to drive w/342 HP, the L on the other hand is EXCITING to drive. The ML55 is in the 65K range, so it doesn't actually fit the original criteria. My thoughts...

97' Porsche Turbo should be in that price range . I've driven a few of those and they are wicked !

or did I break the bank

 

I agree with Lightning2strikes --- 2Ls and a short wheelbase F-250 screw with a powerstroke!!

You can get a "Hummer" for alot less than 60k. Unless ya marry her

 

I've had my eye on one of these for a while now, but apparently, they are rare or something

mrbbqman has done it again!

Although I do not own a Lightning(yet), and I had a choice of any vehicle(other than lightning ) I would have to choose:

2001 Ford Windstar w/ ALL options
w/ enough mods to make it run high 12's/low 13's!!!

Now that would be a bad @ss van!, family ride that whoops these slow cobras and SS's

Field Marshall BBQMAN's rig (pictured) comes stock with bullet proofing and stuff.

What would it cost to bullet proof a Windstar? I bet it would put it over the 60K mark.

There both a used/"previously owned" Viper RT/10(Black with White racing stripes) and a NSX(Blue) on a Ford lot by my house. Not sure on the price, but anything is negotiable.

Oh and I'd go with the WRX as well. Sporty, yet economical. Or an SVT Contour.
