Early 2000s American Car Garage Challenge

Build a garage consisting of nothing but American cars built between the years 2000 and 2007.

The only rules are that you can only have three cars, must be from any year between 2000 to 2007, and like I said, they must be American made.

Here's mine:

Chrysler 300C SRT8

GMC Yukon Denali

Chevy Corvette Z06

My lineup seems pretty solid. None of it's really horrible, except for their interiors.

What would be yours?

Mine would be...

2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP

2005 Ford GT

2007 Dodge Magnum SRT-8

Ahh! I forgot about the Solstice! No matter, I have a 'Vette.

Goddamn, I should've added "that isn't the Ford GT"

But only an unamerican commie terrorist lover would do that.

Ford Mustang Mach 1

Ford Focus SVT

Ford Escape

I don't have much variety here. :P

...an Escape...Really?

I just wanted to pick a GM sports car other than the Vette you chose. The Z06 is an excellent choice. However, the Solstice and the Saturn Sky are quite unappreciated. A little more tuning on the engines and they could be quite a bit of fun.

It's really unfair, how much better the GT is than basically every other american car produced in that era.

I ran out of potential ideas...

2004-07 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab Z71 - Production site: Shreveport, Louisiana (spent many years riding in a basic RWD '04 regular cab, so I'll be more than happy to put one of these in here)

2007 Saleen S281 Extreme - Production site: Flat Rock, Michigan (Saleen conversion done in Irvine, California and Troy, Michigan)

2004 Cadillac CTS-V - Production Site: Lansing, Michigan

Too lazy to do this with pictures for everything but -

2007.5 (cheating a little) GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT Crew Cab Short Bed 4x4 w/Duramax and Allison

07 Z06

and another one of these:

Really should not have sold that.

I LOVE the Sky/Solstice. Probably the Sky a little more because it looks better and is a Saturn. Those 2.0T models are quite the peppy little cars.

I will not include the obvious answer:

And one of these three. Tough decision to choose which one

For wind-in-the-face-ness, Dodge Viper SRT Roadster, in blue please.

For fast luxo cruising when I don't feel like shifting, Cadillac STS-V.

For the family truckster/winter DD, Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland (because while the SRT is fun, I'd rather not bother with another set of wheels for decent tires for winter, and the regular Hemi is enough grunt for this purpose).

Ooh, that is a tough choice between the Caddys.

I'd probably pick the XLR.

But I needed a beater, so Escape!

I like the Sky as a convertible but the Solstice Coupe is pretty sexy. It came out in 2008 though.

That the one I want but I should have a responsible 4 door sedan family hauler....

I'm liking for the Stang, but the Excursion is too damn big!

STS-V then, same engine as the XLR I think.

Three sleeper sedans and an old man's car.

Cadillac STS-V

Chrysler 300 SRT8

Cadillac Deville DTS

Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Street Appearance

Explorer V8 then, at least

Correction. Traded it in.

I was the 3rd owner, got a killer deal on it from the 2nd owner. Put 41k on it in 22 months. Had the wheels powdercoated, tinted tails, custom sub enclosure, all LEDs in the interior, Kooks long tubes w/Catless Y pipe, E-fans, custom tune, and a giant 4" intake. Ran about a 12.8-12.9.

I traded it in on the Vette. I really wanted a C6. Here's the only picture of the two together.

A Vette, that makes it okay.

It doesn't. The Vette is fun, and more engaging to drive. The TBSS was much cooler. Much much cooler.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/11/2014 at 22:05

04-05 Cummins H.O. with the NV5600(better than Allison, because manual and no limp mode)

06 Viper because convertibles suck.

ONLY because 4Runners and Land Cruisers aren't 'Murican.

1. 2002-03 Sierra Denali
Why? Well, have you ever driven a truck with Quadrasteer? No? Then you should change that. And I like the Denali, and it has to be green.

2. Pontiac Solstice
Why? Because lately I've been craving a convertible that you can push, legally, daily. And I've always wanted a Solstice since the concept when I was in HS. And screw the Sky. Green, black top, black interior, manual trans.

3. 04 Pontiac GTO
Why? Because I couldn't think of an American wagon from this time period. So I skirted your rules and went with something built in Aus. And I have yet to tire of her.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/12/2014 at 02:23

0

This wasn't easy.

2001 7.3l Diesel Excurssion

Focus SVT ZX5 because you cut it one year short of a SRT4 Caliber, and they didn't make a SVT wagon.

Pick up converted LJ

I'll go with this as my line-up:
Family Hauler: 2002 Ford Excursion V10 with a Vortech Supercharger

Daily Driver: 2007 Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG.
this is cheaty, but this thing was designed for the US market, and WAS MADE in Alabama. it's American made, but not by an American maker :P

Weekend Warrior: 2007 Ford ROUSH Mustang 427R

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/12/2014 at 10:29

2005 Ford GT

2004 Buick Park Avenue Ultra

2004 Mercury Maruader

I've got a souped up 07 GT and an f350 so I got like 1 and a half of your 3.

JR1 > 1337HPMustang 07/12/2014 at 13:34

I'd love to have either. The F350 is just a beast at towing and looks great. The Mustang is just about as American if not more American than apple pie. Great driving car
