Saying Hi, and afew questions.

Been following this board for awhile.

But I am in the market for a new car, something a tad bit more up scale.

I had it narrowed down to afew cars.

C32
C55
e46 M3
C5 Z06

I decided the C32 was my best bet, due to price, modability and "daily driverness." I did not think the C55 was worth the extra money for me, and same with the M3, and I already owned one. The C5 Z06 is nice, but I decided to hold out afew years and wait for a C6 Z06. Already in the low 60's. All that made the C32 a clear winner. I can't believe you can get a C32 for mid-high 20's.

I currently own a Crossfire = SLK Sport, my question is I already have a set of winter wheels that fit the crossfire. 17x8's. I was wondering if these will fit the C32. If so that is another point for the C32.

Reliability? My crossfire has not once been in the shop in 3 years. All I have heard about the C32 is the intercooler pump goes early. Other than that, I havn't seen much on the board. This mostly goes to the modded guys. Any problems with your rearend, tranny, etc? This car will see strip use.

Other than that, I just hope to be an owner of one of these by June, if not earlier.
