I'd like to buy an impractical 90s coupe, which should I get?
>>2760736990s poopra is peak impractical from both a financial and driving standpoint
>>27607369Pillarless coupes with V12s > allIf it has to be a manual I'd therefore look at an 8 series, and I'd definitely look at a Viper if you're just looking for a raw 'driver's car'
>>27607395Then you should get the Ferrari or drop a V12 in the Esprit

>>27607395>>27607408is that thing fucking stock?
c5 vette
>>27607369depends on what you wan from your caryour list gives the feeling that you'd rather be cruising than anything else so i'll knock the viper out, otherwise you would have just chosen that without considering the restNSX is massively overpriced for what you get, although my dream car i would never consider it anymoreEsprit is nice but i feel like you'll have issues long term with parts with how freaking rare the car is nowadaysThe ferrari i won't pretend to know well enough to give an opinion For me this would be between the 8 series and the 911. The 911 is nice and the last air cooled but there's a reason they're also so cheap in terms of air cooled porches. The 8 series are still cheap-ish, and to me are the best deal here with cool factor included.
>>27607425these aren't impractical. they're about as forgiving as a sports car can get. forgiving clutch, as much trunk space as a sports car can have, the very common and un-exotic LS engine architecture that have parts everywhere, very mundane styling that does not draw unwanted attention.these are what you buy when you want a sports car without the bullshit of a sports car.
Viper and 911 are the only ones reliable enough to be able to enjoy >>276074308 series are piles of garbage though.
Pick your stereotype:8 Series: hairy, middle-aged brown person456: poverty spec poseur993: boring, conformist dentistNSX: weeaboo ricerViper: Yank from AlabamaEsprit: Bond wannabe
>>27607466an extremely unique and very cool pile of german garbage to be fair
>>27607475True. There was one down the road from old apt thats never moved. I'd still look at it every time I passed by though.
993 is the obvious choice. I'd personally have a V8 Esprit, it's the best looking by far
>>27607369Lotus. Anything less would be uncivilized.
>>27607408there's practically zero gap
>>27607468I won't pick any of them if that's what I'd be
>>27607369If you want the least practical go for the Porsche>>27607425It's the most practical of them
>>27607369show bank account or fuck off
>>27607369snek850lotushorsensx porsche
No offence but who's picking the BMW over anything else there? Awful engine, fat, looks worse than the E24 before it
Why not an R35 GTR? Why do I never see these being discussed on /o/?
>>27607369Corvette ZR1
>>27607889/o/ is gay but not that gay
>>27607899>R35 is gayI'm listening
>>276073691999 Honda Accord Coupe V6. Swap in a manny tranny and add 2 big turbos and it's as good as gold.
>>27607889read the op again also because the price goes up every fucking model year so it's forever out of the budget of most people here, and barely anyone has 70-100k in their bank account to bust on one of these used plus they're old as fuck and largely the same since they released, everything worth talking about was talked about a decade ago
>>27607430>but there's a reason they're also so cheap in terms of air cooled porches.993s are the most expensive ones other than original RSRs
>>27607913>read the op again>90s coupeR34 is just as impractical and will be road legal for import in 2024 in the USA. Will probably appreciate in price too.
>>27607926I live in yurop
>>27607919Are they? I imagine the turbo and such models but whenever i see a carrera 993 on BAT or CL its always lower in price than other air cooled models
>>27607449>as much trunk space as a sports car can haveI KNOW you did not just say the vette has a trunk lmao. Vettes are practical strictly from a mechanical standpoint in the same way an nsx is. They just don't break, and if they do, you can fix it for less than a new set of tires. But compared to other coupes? You have no trunk and no interior. Every other car has the extra benefit of a back seat and the ability to recline your driver seat. A vette is a fixed position unless you're too short to reach the pedals. Also having a transaxle and pretty cramped engine compartment and the engine up against the firewall is not the greatest layout to work on. The vette is the ultimate compromise for performance and simplicity. Not performance vs practicality
>>27607369Viper. It's the only one that's unique out of the bunch. You can buy modern versions of any of these cars that will be better but you can only buy a Viper if you want a Viper.
>>27607927oh mate I'll ave the bobbies com' in an nab ya for staying up past yer bedtime ya filthy wanker m8
>>27607976You can still buy a better version of the viper. Its called the zr1. Cheaper to own, faster, cheaper and easier to make power, more parts availability, pulls harder on the skidpad, all with better mpg.
>>27607369This one if you aren't a faggot

>>27607369>I'd like to buy an impractical 90s coupeJAAAAAG
>>27607962Bruh, that's plenty of space for a grocery run, or a road trip where you pack luggage for you and another person with a few extra bags probably. If you want an impractical trunk, look at the miata
>>27607369My mom had a BMW so I'm getting the manual 12 cylinder abomination that was shat out of Satan.
>>27608058They're all fucking autos every single one. Breaks my heart because jags look sexy
>>27608391You're mom's a sexy autistic too
>>27608143that trunk will barely fit a luggage. its not deep enough. A miata trunk carries way more than that. A corvette trunk is almost as bad as a frunk on an mr2 or porsche
Always thought the C208 CLK with the full AMG option looked cool
>>27607369why not go full retardhttps://tvrgarage.com/tvr-for-sale/1997-tvr-cerbera-2/
I saw an esprit turbo for like $30k somewhere in california. I think that makes it the cheapest on your list o_o
>>27608626Buy a clapped out Esprit and then drop an Aston Martin V12 in it. You then get the best looking car, best sounding car, and one you built yourself
>>27607369Porsche 944
>>27607962That's a lot of space for a convertible.t.convertible owner
>>27608443I was not able to fit a pretty standard luggage into a FiataThe opening was too small, the trunk was to shallow
>>27608058>the povertymaker
>>27608391Manual swap it.
>>27608877>>27608391Nah some of them were 5 speed manuals, I'd like to swap one into mine one day but they are still pretty hsrd to come by
Just buy a 997 Turbo
>>27607889It has been discussed to deathremember it's almost 20 years old
>>27607369The Ultima
