well its about that time guys. my lease is up and my car is going to be returned. my coils are for sale if anyone is interested. brand new with less then 5000 miles on it. if interested hit me up.

but im just curious as to what some of you would suggest to move on to for a next vehicle.

 

Well if you looking to step up Performance from a Very Nice C350 it would have to be

1-BMW M3 (4 Door, 2 Door Coupe of Convertible)
2- Mercedes C63 (Discounts are happening and rumors say 2011 new engine)

 

4 doors : MB E350 / 550

2 doors : Audi A5 or MB E350 / 550 coupes

Suv : MB ML

All depending on what your needs are ?? Regardless ..... good luck with your choice !!

 

Why did you buy coils if you knew the lease was ending soon?

 

we are sending the car back early, and plus i was told we were going to keep the car, my dad likkes to flip flop smh.

 

pm me for how much u want for ur coils

 

i was looking at something along the M3 no SUV coupe or 4 door doesnt matter some type of performance increase.

 

For about 50K, the S4 can't be beat. Wish it still had the 4.2 V8 but the blown 3.0 V6 is still pretty sweet.

 

hey kev let me know what other parts you parting off your ride.

 

E550 coupe/S5/CTS-V coupe/Cayman S would be my choices

 

a5

 

GTR R35

 

I test drove the 370z. Man that car is fun. Im really looking into it. Plus there are endless mods you can do. Its a quick car too.

 

I am curious about your comment about endless mods on a 370Z. Typically, the recent VQ motors were hard to get extra HP out of unless you installed a turbo kit or supercharger. You are right about fun, that car will be a blast compared to the Benz. Even if you just do intake, exhaust, wheels and suspension it will have good modability. Just research about how much HP you can attain without forced induction.

 

If I was going to replace my C300 with a faster/more fun car I would steer torwards an Audi S5 or S4. I may even consider a lightly used Audi RS4. Are you going to buy or lease this time around?

 

....and then steer right into the service department! The folks who have them report that they were not particularly well made.

I had a g37, that car was amazing and took every daily beating I gave it. Of course, I had the coupe. @ Aggressive, I believe he was talking about adding forced induction as the endless mods. Of course, one can always add intake, exhaust and such, but all those things in any type of car are really negligible in terms of hp gain. On a "sport" car like the g37 or 370z (both use the same engine) the exhaust isn't really restrictive. But in the g37 a ram air or dual air intake would be helpful, as my 08 didn't have either stock.

But if you do decide to go the route of forced induction. They have very reputable twin turbo kits for the g37, the stage 3 GTM kit provides 700 BHP with 630 RWHP and 558 RWTQ, pretty easily. The guys at GTM think they can even get it up to near 800hp with tuning and aftermarket headers (bottom end was aftermarket already (pistons and rods).

It really was a fun car, and it was so fas that I wouldn't really even think of modding it much beyond exhaust, intake. Forced induction is such over kill for a car that already has 330hp, unless you go to a track, all that power can get you killed out on the road if you don't know how to control it.

@ Kevin, sad to see you go bro. I was looking at the new mustang, great fuel economy, looks pretty bad ***, and even the v6 is fast as hell (faster than the pre 2006 mustang gt). But of course, with american muscle cars, there is no replacement for displacement. And the all new 5.0 ford powerhouse in the 2011 gt is amazing. One car review magazine pitted it against the m3 coupe, and the gt beat it in al testing aspects (skidpad, 0-60, braking) but when it came to doing a lap around the track, the mustang was beat by one tenth of a second, which is like nothing and can be accounted due to driver error. Not to mention its only around $30k, and isn't even bad on gas! Not to mention that with just some minor tune (non forced induction) they gave gotten the mustang gt to run 10.97 at the drag strip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c62zJ...eature=related

If your looking to stay european, I am not really a fan of any bmw cars, but I do have to appreciate the m-line. Specifically m3 and m5. Audi looks pretty good, I like the a5. Good luck no matter what you choose to do!

 

thanks guys fr all the info, i was looking to stay in the euro or american family im really not a fan of jdm for some reason (sorry all JDM fans out there) and yeah i was reading up on the mustang and the m3 but the M3s DCT package looks a lot more tempting and with the price of the GT so low im seeing so much of them and im not a fan of that. honestly im looking for a beautiful car that is barely seen on the road (atleast by my eyes) something fast and of course something i can do some fun mods on M3, Mustang and CTS v Sedan is what ive been looking in to so far, the S5 is beautiful but i dont think its performance is enough for the competitors.

 

the cts v coupe is just too ugly =/

 

Yeah, that thing had the potential to be badass, but it is just down right hideous. The cts-v is a beast and if the price isn't a barrier, I think it is much more rare to come by then the m3, and much faster as well? There really is nothing in the 4-door luxury sedan segment that can touch the performance numbers of the cts-v for its price. Biggest impact on your decision would be to test drive them all and see which you like best. I don't know if your looking to lease or buy, but perhaps a used exotic car wouldn't be bad. 3 or so year old maseratti quattroporte are cheap as hell!

 

Sorry to see her go.

 

So true!!!

Why can't this forum have like buttons so I can click those instead of wasting my time typing, More Facebook "like"! LOL ...Just saying.

 

yea thats what I mean. You can put a supercharger kit on it. You have a couple of videos on youtube. I can't wait to see one. A dealership close by said they are having one done. I told them I am very interested and would like a test drive. It will have over 500hp. Thats a lot for that car. A CTS-V sedan is nice but I think a bit pricey. The coupe is awful. I would never by that. Those cars are sure doing a lot of damage.

 

hm Maserati... havent looked into that one yet ;x
