right.

well im 193cm tall
im looking for something along the line of gtr but thats way outta budget
i want to leave some money aside for mods if possible.

i tried quite a few cars such as M3 and it was quite... short. my hair would touch the ceiling, especially if i styled it.

i guess im looking for sporty cars.
i 'probably' wont be interested in moding its performance much since i dont have the time to put it in much use (ie race with friends) but who knows.

I personally love that car, but for this guy, the SLK is not going to work. I watched video reviews on the car before and a big negative is that the SLK seats cannot push back, so if you are a tall person *hint hint* or have long legs, the SLK isn't going to work well for you.

And wow 193cm? That's....6ft 3in. Holy crap

people that have a budget of 80K to spend on a car usually doesnt make threads like this

but if you are serious... best way to go is to go to the dealership and set in a bunch of cars and test drive them

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

Um there's so many things to take into consideration.

Can you list us some possible car styles you like?

Sedan, Coupe, SUV, Economy, Manual, Automatic?

Keep in mind this is Canada, an IS350 cost close to 60k in Canada lol.

I would say 335 convertible, or an Escalade or Hummer or something lol, 6'3" will not work for any "nice" sports cars, sucks for you haha.

u can always do the illegal way, get somebody to buy the car in the States, then ship it to Canada and resell.

If he doesnt even have time to test drive I doubt this dude will go through all the hassle, my parent's friend did that for their Acura RDX and saved close to 30g lol.

If you are willing to do this, you can bring in a GTR with that amount of money from the USA
