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.

Anyways G37 didn't impress enough to make it an option.
And I saw a total of 6 M3's in my daily commute (3 in parking garage) which made me feel like the mustang compared to the 370z
So yeah IS-F wins out of the group
Now one of the370z's vendors needs to make a quality forced induction kit for it

Within your price range, I like Mercedes-Benz E class. V8 torque is so nice.

Of course, Toyota's reliability is top. Their Yamaha-tuned 5.0 liter is sweet, too.

Don't think Chevrolet makes a great quality product.

Yeah the BMW M3 E92 is a no brainer. To say it's nothing special / not much more than the 335i is just ridiculous as mentioned. Not that the 335i is bad but the M3 is DEFIANTLY a different animal. There's a good reason for why it wins pretty much every creditable comparison test against cars in its segment.

C63 doesn't seem to be getting much love here, but I'd go for one in a heartbeat. It's quicker than all but the CTS-V and has hands down, the best sounding engine of the pack. No aftermarket exhaust needed unless you want even more.

Because being able to "purchase" and "afford" are two totally different things. The GT-R is no less expensive to maintain than the typical 250K super car. You got another thing coming if you think a GT-R is going to cost you the same or anywhere near the amount of a typical 55-65K car.

This is of course taking into account the GT-R is driven the way it was designed for and not just pussy footing around town all the time. But yeah that's the answer plus some people buy cars more on how they feel behind the wheel vs. it's test track numbers. There's obviously so much more to a good sports car mere numbers could ever convey.
