Well for one, don't get the 2001 Z06....they bumped up the power in 2002...so at least get an 02 if you go that route.
If I had to replace the FD with your list....I would go Z06. If I could make my own list, I would go with the EVO, fast, handles good, practical, good MPG, just god awful ugly....but other then looks, it's the best buy for the money. Brand new, 30k, 12 sec car, warranty, etc...
I have not yet been able to get away from RX7's....I always think I will, but I am on number 7 now...
If you do, let me know how it goes...since I always debate it, but always come back to the wankel.

I hate to see how quickly people give up on their FD 
The only way I would give up mine would be for something crazy like a porsche GT2, or carrera GT. Not some ******* POS vette! vettes are for guys with small *****. then if it's yellow he has even smaller *****, if it's a yellow vert'...forget it, he has no dick.

imo 4.6 is too small for me to be happy with a v8. the power to be gained just isnt there without considerable modification. not to mention i find the front end ugly as all hell... looks good from the side and rear though... too bad they had to go make the GTO so damn plain because that would be a definite buy for me.

yep.. but its 6.0L LS2 powered and thats all that matters... i've been watching holden for YEARS wishing they'd bring their coupes here in the 90's... most people think the gto is too plain and not sporty enough but it is what it is... the gto was always a passenger car and was never originally a sports car. its like a chevy malibu with a v8 and nice interior.. would make an excellent daily driver

Ah I think the front end is alot more attractive than years past. I don't think my wife would ever et me live down buying one after all the years of name calling.
