    Looking to upgrade my vehicle, ideas?

    I am seriously considering the following cars and need some insight as to what everyone would get. I am sure this will get off topic before the first page is over, and just posting this sentence definetly ensures that will occur. So anyway of the following which would you pick. Any other options please list only want new cars and will not be modding (or just light mods i.e. intake/ehaust, nothing that requires me to drive an hour to the tuner and take the day off from work).

    1. 2012 GTR (Pros: Fast as F***, Cons: Spendy Maintenance, Crap warranty)
    2. 2013 Dodge Viper (Pros: 700+ HP estimated, Cons: Not out yet)
    3. 2012 M5 (Pros: Its a BMW, M5 awesomeness, BMW all inclusive Maintenance, Cons: Over my budget no final pricing, not out yet)
    4. 2011+ Corvette Z06 (Pros: Fast, Cheap, low mainteance costs, Cons: Its a GM, and joefuckface owns one)
    5. 2011+ Cadillac CTS-V (Pros: Same as Corvette, easily fit kid in back Cons: It seems big and bulky and not to special)

    I would be selling both my cobra and bmw for this car.

      CTS-V

      Corvette carrys the mid-life crisis old man image, Viper isn't out yet, BMW's are for gelled hair pricks, and the GTR is just plain ugly and has a weird looking interior.

          Pretty much the same thoughts I had. I dont mind the GTR looks, especially in all black. I am hoping they release the viper info soon, so I can maybe quell my urge until then

            ZO6 or ZR1 no need to think any further.

                Of the ones you listed I'd take the M5 or the Z06.

                What about:
                Porsche 911
                Audi S5
                MB AMG E63/CLS63

                  Its all setup to make high HP...has return style fuel system and 60lb injectors (might need 80s to run e85). Just needs an upgraded clutch to handle the higher HP. I will let you know when I sell and make sure I decline the first $200 offer :-)

                        I assume you want to buy new, correct?

                        My dad picked up black on black 2008 STS-V a couple years ago (479 hp, supercharged 4.4L 32V V-8) and IMO it's one of the best looking Cadillacs ever produced. The interior is really nice too. He gets compliments all the time about how nice looking the car is. There are also very few of these cars on the road so it's kind of cool owning something unique. Now, the only problem is GM didn't produce many 4.4L SC V-8's so if there ever was a maintenance issue I'd imagine that it would be a bear to find parts for it.

                          Dont want to mod, and would like something a little more rare looking.

                          Though of those and love them, but looking for something a little more faster that can run in the 11s stock.

                            GTR's are dumb to buy. you void warenties just using the launch control and people are braking there trans doing so when the car isn't even 2 years old. Pluse they cost 15k pluse for a trans in that car.

                              You need to google Cadillac and look at some of the cars from the 30-60's and you will see some of the best looking caddy's ever made.
