Top 50 (cont.)

Yup, it's another Wednesday, and you know what that means.  My list of top 50 cars to me.  Tonight, the 96 Nissan 300ZX.  Man, I love this vehicle.  They are heavy behemoths, but man are they fast if done correctly.  I remember these cars back in the day.  They were part of the of the big Japanese super cars.  Supras, NSX, Skylines, and the 300ZX.

I remember these cars being extremely quick, and honestly, they were pricey.  However, because of their weight, it slowed it down a bit, however, this was a car to be reckoned with.  The twin turboed version was beastly.  And it had a roar.  Whether it was quarter miles or track run.  The car had oomph, it was a big and clunky looking, and quite boxy.  Not a lot of sharp angles, but to me, it was pretty, fast, and elegant.  Nice...so enjoy the video, and see why I like the car.

Okay, it's top 50 Wednesday, and it's not that I wasn't excited last week, however this week, I'm ecstatic to write about one of my all time favorite cars.  The WRX STi.  Now, we here in the states didn't receive the STi until 2004, and even though we were a little late to the game, the latest rendition of it coming out of Japan, was the most badass one yet.  Yup, folks I've been enjoying the streamlined Impreza for years, however like an ugly stepdaughter, America was ignored the Subara Tecnica International version for years.  Finally we got our hands on one.  For the last few years, I had pined for one.  Who wouldn't want a 300 hp, all wheel drive, rallying monster vehicle.  To this day, I may not want one as bad, but if I had an opportunity to pick one up, I'm definitely going to do it.  Seriously, I actually have been looking at the new 2012 ones.  After a few years of the hatchback version, I'm very happy Subaru brought the STi back with an option between sedan and hatchback.  I love it's aggressive front, the obnoxious spoiler, and the loud rally exhaust when it breathes.  This car was just meant to be an asshole, and it seems like a lot of rich, spoiled, bratty Asians drive it.  Well, I decided, I will let those kids have it.  For now, I can always dream of driving my lightning black Subie, with gold rims, my bigger turbo pushing 20 psis, and the huge exhaust which would breathe through.  I want one...

Once again, not my video people, but enjoy.

So I'm assuming you have watched the video.  And I really wanted to compare the two cars...and honestly you can't.  One is meant to go straight, the other is meant to go into corners...fast.  So it's like comparing apples and oranges, you just can't.  

In the beginning, I just wanted to show everyone my top 50 list, and now, after adding this second car.  I'm going to tell which one I would choose each week as well.  And as for these two vehicles, who would come out victorious in my eyes...well folks, that's the WRX STi.  Let's hope next weeks contender has a chance.  

Top 50

Last week on my grind my gears, I complained about how disturbed I was about the whole, "Fast and the Furious," scene.  Well Wednesdays will now be known as Top 50 cars Wei has always wanted!  Yup, Wednesday are now going to be known as Top 50 Wednesdays.  

So tonight begins it.  My first car chosen on my top 50 list, is a vehicle I have loved since the day I saw it.  Sometimes I still think about driving it, and the rush I would have cruising around town with it.  It was a dream then...however not so much so now.  That car is the 2004 Pontiac GTO.  Ah, American muscle.  Yes, it's a great car.  I'm looking back on the list I made in 2004...and I'm realizing to myself.  I put this on my top 50 list back in the day.  Will I modify it?  Possibly, however for now, I think I'm leaving it on here. It was a great car, and now, we don't even have Pontiacs anymore.  So yeah...it's staying on here.  Here's to you GTO...here's to you.  

Okay first, not my car.  And secondly, this may or may not be a 04...so you know.  Enjoy the vid.  It's awesome.
