After dinner bump for stragglers... If you havent voted (or been specific with a vote) please do so.

Not counting anything, but it appears BOTH of the Mustangs are at the top... I seem to remember somebody saying that anything other than a V8 in a "Muscle Car" wouldn't get any votes", well only one 4 cylinder in the group, and its got more votes than 2 of the big V8's!

There will be a change in the game tonight (because of the lack of AWD cars in this price range) so 5 cars are going up and TWO will move into the finals!

Yep, you will be voting to keep 2 cars of your choice in the next round... 2 Are new, and 3 from the first rounds...

 

And because you have a battery powered scooter...

You know they have ones that burn dinosaurs too right?

 

I said that and a V8 is a true muscle car. I can't help it that people thing a 4 cyclinder with a turbo pushing the same weight would stand a chance.

Still mustang GT V8 all day long.

 

Umm my R53 runs I don't need the scooter, it's really only a toy for the Dragon.

 

Might be close in weight, but having the front end a little lighter makes it feel a lot less like a pair of greasy tires trying to push a boat anchor through a turn...

 

It's called a power slide you should try when you have one.

Go work on your car......

 

Last call!

I'm adding them up, but you still have until I post the next set.

 

Times up! And the winner is...

The Mustang GT with 7 votes!

Followed by a tie between the 2.3 Mustang and the Camaro SS, both with 3 votes each.

And the Challenger, it got nothing!

I would have voted for the 5.0 Mustang GT too!

Now, on to business...

There arent many other cars I could see people wanting in both the AWD and Special categories, so I combined them. But, we had a tie in the first Special round, and both the FRS, and the JCW Coupe moved on.

So here we have 5 cars, and you need 2 of them!

First one up is:

The Focus ST, with a base price of $25,347.



Or:

The WRX returns as the AWD champion for the first round, at $26,295.



Or:

The Scion FRS is back, costing $31.844 as optioned.



Or:

The returning JCW Coupe, special ordered with no options or accessories added, and a price of $33,250.



Or lastly:

A brand new 2 door Jeep Wrangler in Rubicon trim in all its true off road glory, for just $33,685 with the optional hard top. (You knew it was just a matter of time before I posted a Jeep again right?)



There they are, pick two! And lets pass the game on to someone else next week.

 

Jeep- which was an easy pick actually..
Coupe- tough choice between it and the FRS ( might lose the coupe this week )

 

WRX
Focus ST

 

JCW Coupe
Jeep

No 4 Doors! :mad2:

 

Scion FRS
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

Perfect combination of fun vehicles.

 

I'll take the Jeep for some pass road fun in Colorado, Black Bear pass here I come!

WRX for AWD fun on the forest roads of Southern Ohio.

 

Jeep
WRX

 

Wrx.
And the jeep, if only it had more doors.

 

Two door non rubi.

Then make it better than a rubi.

 

I like your style!

The factory Dana 44's are pretty weak so upgrade those...

The 4:1 transfer case could be lower, so swap in a 4 speed Atlas...

The stock Rubi electric lockers are a little weak and problematic, so change those out...

Shocks... Really! Once you lift it they are gone anyhow...

Thats about all but the sticker that makes it a Rubicon!

Building a base model Sport makes more sense, but the Rubi is within the budget!

 

As an FR-S owner, I have to go with the WRX. My FR-S has been plagued with problems almost since day one, and incidentally the vehicle I am moving into is the WRX (STi if my cards are played correctly). The second vehicle is going to be the Rubicon 4 door, because I want a vehicle capable of wowing the kiddos not just on the street. I like the ST, but something tells me we have another SRT-4 on our hands and will be seeing a lot of these quick little boogers grenading between 60k and 100k. Great bang for the buck though!

So to recap:
WRX
Rubicon

 

If I would have kept mine, I probably would have stuffed an LS2 in it... Way too much stuff going on right now though.
