Not trying to take away from the car at all, for the price, it's amazing. Just saying that there is a bit of fine print that comes with that performance.

American Muscle is starting to get old. The only person right now that has a good muscle car is.. i hate to say it but ford. the new 5.0 or boss. anything else is a let down. New camaro, overated. New challenger, weight to power is poor, handling is ehh. Charger, nothing good. Vette, to many on the road.

IMO, from owning both sides and driving a lot of really cool cars. Theirs nothing like any car thats... not american lol. The fit and finish is beyond any pos american cars. the performace is beyond any ameriacn muscle car. ive driven many exotic and crazily built cars and it doesnt come close to any american car.

If you want a F'n fun car and are willing to pay for it, buy a used C63 AMG Benz. By FAR one of my fav cars that i would DD. 450HP w a 4 door car (the new 2 door is ugly) way to much fun. and it has a 6.3 V8! lol handling isnt like a z tho

NYBladeZ 09-15-2011 12:48 PM

for a new c63 you could find a way to get the 5.0 and the Z

You can pick up a lightly used AMG for less than half new. Well over 500hp.

new they are around 60k i believe

I would just get a used one for like 35-40.



the coupe doesnt look that good IMO the 4dr looks like a crazy sleeper

atx370z 09-15-2011 01:08 PM

If i felt like paying $900+ a month for a car.. I would have that Merc right now.

NYBladeZ 09-15-2011 01:13 PM

Still I wouldn't want to be in a C63 and have to hit an apple on the apex of a turn.

Wrx sti ftw!

Yeah the CTS-V on paper looks super good, I seen one at the track here and it did live up to its name so the one that you saw loose to the Subaru probably just didint know how to drive.

In any case I will not trade my Z for a Cadillac anytime soon

Get a 335 good balance between comfort, performance and looks the coupe looks sexy. If you want to go balls out on performance mod get the n54 335i as they have more potential than the n55 single turbo, this is not officially confirmed but one of the guys in e90post opened up the n54 and it had forge internals. 135 is nice but too small.

Red370 09-16-2011 03:24 AM

C63 looks like something a government retiree would drive at age 65, no thanks, he can keep his power. I may be a bit biased, but all this talk of BMW is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, granted, yes, I live in Germany and 335's, 135's, M3's are a dime a dozen, literally. My girlfriend is a kindergarten school teacher and drives a fully loaded 335i, my god what boring looking cars. BTW, I literally passed 3 R8's on the way in to work today, a few S8's as well. I'll try to break out the iphone cam on my drive home today and show you guys what I mean.

The EVO, dollar for dollar is one of the quickest (Road and Track June 0-60 4.3 seconds and 13 flat in quarter) and best handling (October Car and Driver 1st place in Handling for under $40,000) cars you can buy. It is also roomy enough for 4-5 and has AWD for the nasty weather (most RWD cars dont go well in snow). Also if you get bored with the stock speed, the EVO is one of the easiest cars to mod.
I have owned Audi, BMW, Saab, Mazda, Toyota and many VWs, Fords and lesser makes.
I highly recommend a test drive. While the EVO is not perfect, it is the answer to most needs. I never even considered Mitsubishi until this year...just never gave them a thought. When I drove it I was sold. I never knew what I was missing. Best wishes no matter what you get.
