BMW 335i....it's nice, but I don't like the styling
Lexus IS350...A very nice car, but the fact that a 6MT isn't offered killed the deal
Corvette Z51...Very fast, and I like the styling. Not too sure about the handling
Mercedes C350...I think I'm too young for a Mercedes just yet...lol

I was considering the camaro at one point, but that thing has been "coming out" for so long, I'm sick of looking at it now, lol. They showed the concept January 06 and just started production a few days ago.

right now its between the 370z and the CamaroSS. I have read some comments that the camaro wont handle well but if you guys read the G8 GXP reviews you will see how the camaro will handle. It is on a lighter and updated version of the G8 GXP's platform that car will surprise alot of people

Those motors are great for mods. I'm sure it was fast as hell! My show truck had that motor in it, and it had a few bolt-ons and a dual race tune. On the highway I could pull away from a stock GT. I could only imagine that in a car weighing a 1/3 of that.

Sorry for thread jacking...lol

Nissan Cube. It's faster than the Z but in the end I Just felt the Z was more practical.
