Ive been looking at those pretty hard over the last few months.

Well, my thoughts are that a 400ish hp car is the best all around for a dd/er. I want this next car to share dd duty with my other car. I have abandoned GM, as I "was" a GM fanboy ALL my life.
My last Z06, they really made angered me.....that's a whole other story.
I will always like Vette, but I'm moving on. Been there for many years and done that. I want a decent sports car that is not going to break the bank so to speak. I also want a "reliable" sports car. One that will take the occasional heavy foot, but not penalize me by dropping a valve and imploding the engine.
I'm thinking that Nissan builds a very solid car. I have not viewed any threads where guys are losing their engine. Sure, all cars have some issue. I've never seen one that doesn't.
I think if I settle for less power that I gain reliability with the Nissan. Is my thinking flawed?
