What to buy?
I am parting out my 2011 C63. I am looking to get another car between $100,000~$150,000. What should I get that is more exciting than C63? I am not a fame of the new C63 Black Series.

I think it's time for you to look at a Porsche. If you really want a ton of bang for your buck, the 2013 GT-R should not disappoint.

if you don't know, maybe you should get a few hyndai's
one for a DD, one to mod, and one to just sit and become a classic!

Wait for the new M3, I think its going to be pretty good. Or if you really want to experiment wait for the Polestar Volvo S60!
"The Polestar S60 will come packing a 4.4-liter Yamaha-built V8...the same engine makes 641 horsepower via forced induction in the Noble M600. Rumor has it that the uber-Volvo will get a sequential gearbox and a Haldex all-wheel-drive system, too. Expect it to come with more aggressive suspension tuning than the S60 T6 R-Design, wearing wider wheels and rubber."
I dont know but it sounds like a really cool idea from volvo... who knows how far they will take it??

I vote for a GTR or 997TT. Both cars are more than capable of keeping a smile on your face while stock and can be modded when you get bored.

^^ He can always buy a used SLS & wrap it matte black. LOL
I wish I was in your dilemma on where to spend my 150 000$... LOL ! I would be all over the place test driving "exotics" .

2013 Nissan GT-R BE
I would look at the Jaguar XKF-S. Not the best performance of course but something different and fun. It's interior is pretty good looking too.

I vote for Audi R8 V10 (wait until the 2013 model is out with dual-clutch). Amazing exotic and can be used as a daily driver. Looks way better than any Porsche or SLS in my opinion.

2011 GT3RS, C63 AMG
I had a fully built track prepped GT2, amazing car, fun on the street as it has tons of power and torque.
GT3RS probably the best car I ever drove, but not as torquey as a GT2, but engine sound, driver feedback are amazing.
I also have a GTR, for me the car is just useless. Does everything, but doesn't do anything well.
Too stiff for a daily (a lot stiffer than my GT3RS)
Fast on straight line (boring after the first week)
Can't bring to the track, and drive fast as transmission and diffs overheat
Not engaging.
has good interior size and decent trunk
Priced right.
Heavy as a fat pig
Finish is embarrassing

Any certain type of car you are looking for? This is too Vague to say between 100-150k because there are so many cars out there to buy. I mean I could say S65 AMG or CL65 AMG but if you wanted a new ZR1 or a new HPE800 Camaro then you want a totally different type of car. How about a Ferrari? Lamborghini? Audi R8 V10? Aston Martin? Nissan GTR? Porsche? Classic American muscle?
I guess if I was to narrow it down my list would go like this:
SLR
SLS AMG
SL65 AMG
CL65 AMG
S65 AMG
Ferrari 430
Ferrari 575/550/ Superamerica
Lamborghini Gallardo
Lamborghini Murcielago
Audi R8 V10
Porsche 911 Turbo (997)
Porsche 911 GT2/GT3
Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
Maserati Granturismo
Bentley Continental GT Speed
Maybe even more then one car?

If you want to be 100% sure you won't ever see another ride like yours, definitely this
http://www.armyjeeps.net/armor1.htm
there are many vehicles there in your price range You can be sure not too many people will want to 'cut you off' lol
but if you want a more civilized car, go pick up a used bentley Continental GT. Wonderful wonderful vehicle.
