The funny thing about it is the fact that most people think a car must be an absolute monster if they can do a burn out when in reality it only means the car can't hook up correctly.
Who is more likely to articulate a written comprehensible sentence?

Actually the s-type is very affordable:

even the superchargerd str:

I could have afforded both of those but i prefer the looks of the LS to it.
marks on the other hand are a poor mans car.

1985 (Euro spec) BMW M5.
Compared to a comparable coupe? WTF does that mean.You want us to name a sedan and compare it to a similar coupe??? If so, BMW M5 and BMW M 635 CSI. Both are desirable and both can be over 25 years old. Also collectible if in good condition.
The last time you watched the Barret Jackson Auction were there more coupes or sedans on the block?

Don't know what Challengers your looking at but I was watching SRT8's at Englishtown in the 12's and then there was this Drag Pack that showed up.

The Camaro's don't mean squat to me and I had a 69' Camaro I sold a few years ago. The Camaro's are like the Mustang's, they both weigh more than a Mark VIII
Heck a Shelby GT500 convertible is over 2 tons :shifty:
However I am biased cause I do not like 4 door vehicles so to each his own I guess?
I was referring to anything other than a straight line. Also, put the Challenger up against the Camaro or Mustang and it'll lose.
And what is this? Mr. STi?
Put two wings on it and it could be a plane, a bird or put a red S on the front then it can possibly be mistaken for Superman.
Coupes, obviously - always a bazillion Corvettes being featured in that auction. Makes me :sleep:

When I first started to drag race my STi back in 04' I was able to beat Z06's possibly do to the drivers not being able to launch? I was pulling 12.51@109.9 on pump gas with the AC on and using M&S tires on heavy 17" rims.
I got tired of beating everything on street nights and getting wasted by modded NOS or Supercharged built cars(PS I was beating Vortec Blown Stock Engine Mustangs). I upped my Turbo and injectors and smoked the stock clutch. Switched to a balls out expensive Carbon Fiber clutch and pulled a 12.8@117 and turned the clutch floater all sorts of colors
Switched to a Tilton twin disc Bronz Ceramic Puck and spun the splines outta one disc
Finally got a decent clutch in it but it got broken into at the one place it was at so it has been sitting till I get around to fixing it this year and get booted for no cage
My point is ten years from now a mint Gen 1 Mark VIII will be worth more money than a mint 1st or 2nd Gen LS. I don't know about you but I would rather have a Lexus SC400 versus a Lexus LS400. How about a BMW 3 series? The only four door I would prefer over the comparable coupe is the Mercedes 550 CLS. Prove me wrong on another comparable car, sedan to coupe.

I would rather a SC300 but that just cause the (dare I say it?) 2JZ swap is that much easier:shifty:
No I don't but they are worth more than a LS.

The LS is worth twice as much.
But hey if you say so.
...you are comparing what a dealer would pay not an enthusiast.

Are they not a heck of a lot newer
You said what they are worth....that is what they are worth.
Are they not a heck of a lot newer
Exactly which is why ratdog makes no sense.
If you weld the rear doors shut it will be worth twice as much as it is now.
And if you set the mark on fire itll be worth 4 times as much.

Can we see a LS that is Comparable
We can revisit this subject 10 years from now to see who is right and who is wrong...history is on my side.

In 10 years i wont bother to waste my time with you. The LS doesnt mean the world to me...like i said earlier im a mustang afficionado and i like many imports as well.
I just got a good deal on an overall sweet ride.
Dude look whose forum your in before you start flapping your lips.
Woah, I was just answering your questions. Most of us would prefer a coupe performance vehicle over a sedan equivalent. Heck, even out of those two BMW's I listed, I'd prefer the coupe to the sedan. One exception though: I'd take the four door M3 Evolution over the two door coupe - reason being practicality and... the sleeper effect. :gr_devil: (I'd dress it down as a 318i and kill some kid ricers - LOL)
Im not flapping anything.
Im texting from a keyboard and this is LVC right?
You are the one making harsh comments and you made them in the LS side as well. so get off your high horse.
