I would go for the 911 Turbo (997 possibly), I think you need to try out something different. CLS would be too similar to your Kleemann and as you said that you get bored of cars quickly I would say you will get bored of CLS sooner than you think...
Have you already thought of F-car? But they go for 125k and more....

AWD no thak you, and it's not slow, but you need to work to get the power up.
After the blown C55 you will feel like you are in a go cart w/o a motor.

Get the new 997 Turbo!! Just read a preview from Car and Driver, it's going to be sick . And please, for sake the of automobiles, DO NOT GET A PORSCHE WITH TIPTRONIC! It's like castrating the car.

Yeah but I bet if you drive it hard it will die a fast death.
Not like a P car or AMG..
We talked about the 997TT..
First off you can't "Just get one"
Pre order deadline is OVER.
The cars are pretty much taken and they will be sold with a serious markup if available.140K plus I betcha, plus it will be later this year.

Vader - Is the GT3 your daily driver? If so, how is it? Aren't you worried about racking up the miles on the P-car?

The owner of this car said he'll take 77k -- good deal?

That Carrera has 10K miles dude..
I would offer 75.
Its a sick car for sure.
I am not worried about miles yo, cars are ment to be driven.
I also work out of my house when I am not in LA.
I had a DD but I sold it becuase I never wanted to drive it.
MY GF has a car I can steal if I need too.
I have a X5 in Santa Barbara when I go there.
The thing about DDing modded P cars, is just plan out your trip.
It does worry me when I go to places I have never been.
I have gotten stuck in a couple parking lots and I had to reverse backward out of the entrances..lol

This is true! It's going to be my daily driver and allow me the time to find the "perfect" porsche. I might even still go the SLK55K S8 route. Getting the Range Rover is the best option for now so I can explore all my possibilites without rushing into the wrong car.
