August 13, 2007 – Denver, Colorado- Many car shoppers apparently are longing to beat the heat in a cool sports car, judging by the recent jump in sales among sports cars at Denver’s used car dealer, Colorado Auto Finders.
The most popular choices have been the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and an American standard: the Chevrolet Corvette, said Ali Awada, president of Colorado Auto Finders, which he established in 2001.
Other big sellers include the Dodge Neon SRT4, the Chrysler 300C SRT8, the BMW M3 and the Ford Mustang Cobra.
The Impreza WRX is equipped with a turbocharged flat-4 2.0 liter or 2.5 liter Subaru Boxer engine. This all-wheel drive car that comes in a sedan or a wagon has become popular among car lovers who appreciate performance and handling.
In addition to its reputation for performance, the STI offers the highest standard-edition trim in the Subaru Impreza compact car line.
The Lancer Evolution, commonly referred to simply as the “Evo,” features a two-liter, turbocharged engine and four-wheel drive system. Originally intended only for Japanese markets, Mitsubishi introduced the eighth generation Evo to American markets in 2003, much to the delight of sports car enthusiasts.
The list of what makes the Corvette a speed demon’s dream car is long, but distinguished. This mainstay among American muscle cars was the first all-American sports car built by an American car manufacturer in 1953.
The Corvettes of today typically feature a whopping 400-horsepower LS2 6.0 liter aluminum-block V8 engine, or the LS7 V8 engine.
The Dodge Neon SRT 4 is the second fastest current-production Chrysler vehicle and one of the fastest Dodges ever made.
Chrysler’s 300C SRT8 provides the perfect combination of luxury and speed. All sleek and modern on the outside, this car is a throwback to the mighty days of Mopar under the hood. It houses a 6.1-liter Hemi engine that matches the grosshorsepower rating of the 426 Hemi engine exactly.
The BMW M3 is a performance version of the popular compact BMW 3-Series automobile. Based on the 1986 E30 3-Series, the first M3 was introduced with a 2.3 L S14 engine.
Another American favorite, the Ford Mustang Cobra, fulfills a driver’s need for speed with a 4.6-liter, four-valve V-8 engine that produces 390 horsepower and 390 foot-pounds of torque.
“We’ve done a robust business in sports cars recently,” Awada said. “We can assist customers who don’t find the sports car of their dreams at our dealership by referring them to our vehicle location service.”
