Anyways it's pretty much between Cts-V and IS-F. Really like the amazing deals that you can get on the ISF, and their reliability, interior, awesome navigation, looks, and their awesome customer service. Seriously, to anyone who's never owned a Lexus their customer service is the best in the industry by far.
But the V is so fast and sexy

Cts-V is losing now. Researched pretty much all day and it's amazing how little the used ones are depreciating. And nearly everyone I look at with 5-15k miles, the interior looks like it's already falling apart.
But also learned that their aren't really any F.I available for the IS-F because its ECM can't be cracked yet. Their is one system out but it supposively doesn't work properly with the North American ECM's. But the gains with full bolt ons are pretty impressive from what I've read so far.

Why add-on FI so quickly? Buying a car with the performance you want should be a lot more economical.

Touring Z is actually pretty luxurious (versus the Acura loaners I drove for months), but I think the M3 or an AMG should be better. I think I'd try for a Cayman S in that price range, but i don't particularly like GTs.

I thought about doing this but I'm just not a fan of the G37 interior. IMO the Z has a nicer interior than it.

Really? The G interior is actually one of the more luxurious interiors, I really liked the leather inside of the G37. I think all Infinitis have nice interiors for that matter. But then again it felt too much like a comfy ride, where you relax, instead of staying alert and pressing the pedal to the metal.

M5 V10. Most epic 4 door with the most epic engine N/A. BMW called the V10 the most sophisticated engine they have ever made. Not a big fan of all these new FI cars these days. M5 V8 TT is not even the same as the V10. FI IMO is cheating horsepower out of an engine. I'm a N/A guy. One exception is the GTR. Other than that not a big fan.

Well test drove most of the cars and the Is-F was my favorite Cts-V sedan is starting to look really bland to me. M3 wasn't bad but I couldn't really tell anything special about it. Just felt like I was driving a 335i. But then again didn't really get to open it up or anything.
So yeah current situation is tomorrow I'm going to test drive the G37 and see how it is. I know it's power probably won't impress me but I am basically going to just see the interior. Since I never have sat in a G37, if I REALLY like it I will consider buying one and TT'ing it. But not sure...
Quick question-
What kind of numbers are people getting from G37's? Like forced induction and the whole nine yards. Thanks everyone.
