If you want something classy with some speed go with the Infinity G35. Thats the car I plan to get by the end of the year. Get it and we can start an Infinity club and be the coolest. No but for real I think of all the cars the G35 would be the best choice in my opinion.

How about a 350Z or an RX-8? Just wondering if you have looked into those. May not be as fast as the Evo fo STi but are nice sports cars.

BMWs are a waste of money. Pay X amount of money this year, and watch it's value decrease by half within the next couple of years. I say go for the RSX-S or a WS6, I don't know why anyone wouldn't want a Firebird

TrippleSeis what the hell is wrong with you, how can you have too much low end??? The lsx motors have a torque curve like a fricken' plateau. Torque wins races and horsepower sells motors; it's all about the area under the curve.

My car has 430+ horses and it gets 30 mpg on the highway... no Around town I get in the low 20's and I floor it a few times a day. Any car guzzles gas when you're in it. My cobra with 3.73 gears averaged around 20mpg.

I've seen an E46 M3 go for about 37k, there are a few on autotrader for 37.5k, 50k miles on it, blue w/ grey interior, compared with what you get.. i think that's the best way to go. a 340hp NA 3.2L engine? 6 individual throttles, 6 speed, electronic variable diff lock, 10 speaker sound system, onboard computer, i won't even get into safety. 50.3/49.7 % weight distribution, 0-60 in 4.8

blah just get it

Yes I have one too, but I got the car for a reason.
After a while with the car you start to value everything else besides 1/4 time, top speed, etc.

edit:
330Cis are no comparison to non-M cars, suspension, steering, throttle response, tranny sensitivity, everything. My brother has a 330Ci with sport package.. we drove eachother's car over the summer. It's an awesome car with a huge luxury advantage over mine (not over the new M3s though) but you don't feel as connected to the car, and it's hardly faster. You can't really even hear the engine. It's just not fun.

I never really caught onto those, although I do like the G35.
