New Car (not a honda tho)
As some of you may know, I sold my gsr this past summer and bought an Xterra, but I quicky became tired of the SUV life and wanted another sports type car. I ended up buying a 94 3000gt SL. I think its great, although 3300 pounds, its width, stiff suspension, and low ride height allow it to handle quite well, and having power from 2k rpm to 7k rpm is great. I was hoping for another gsr, but the 3000gt's have always been one of my favorites for looks. I paid 7.5k for a 94 with 69k miles.

was something wrong with your GSR?
i raced one on my sisters hoveround and he only had me by half-a-chair.
