Plan to purchase next year.
Well I was bored and decided to register today. I plan to purchase a 2000 Solara Convertible next year. I am undecided about auto or stick since my wife will drive it most of the time. I plan to install the TRD supercharger the same week I get the car. In the mean time I plan to learn as much as I can about this platform.
I have been a parts manager for the last 11 yrs and a Hyundai parts manager for the last 5 years. I have owned more cars than I can count and modified several of them. The two most recent cars have been a 99 and a 02 Elantra. They have been a blast to drive in the twisties but only manage 16 second 1/4 mile times. My latest one is the best handling car to date for me. I am sure the Falken Azenis Sport tires are part of the reason.
So the Solara will be a daily driver with some balls along with our 2003 Honda Odyssey. The Elantra I will probably keep as a toy for autocross racing.
