Fast cars are a mistake....

Hey guys, I have had my c32 for a little over two years now, and im starting to look arould for a new car. But now I have this horrible problem, I only want a car as fast or faster then my car. And not many cars to choose from without spending another 65 at least. Anyone have any suggestions for a new ride as fast as ours in the 100k price range?

Don't currently own a vehicle.
An E55 AMG, it's FASTER and IMO more attractive inside and out. But I totally agree with you about buying a fast car then when you decide to get a new car, you want one that's as fast or faster. I am actually dealing with that situation right now. This will be only the second car that I have ever owned and I'm not sure if I should go ahead and get the car that I want or down grade so that when I replace it, I have more options to move up to. It's really really really difficult. Especially seeing that lately I have had my eye on the C55 AMG. I did want the E500, I think it's beautiful, but if I get a car I want it my way or no way, and I don't think I can get the AMG package on it, with the Bird's Eye Maple wood trim, which is the only way I want it. Oh and that nasty looking arm rest for 2005, that is kind of a deal breaker too. But this C55 is nice, not as nice on the interior, and not even near as many luxuries as the E500, but it's a lot better than my current car. Anyway, I definitely went off on a tangent. Good Luck

I totally understand how u feel. I am in the same situation......previously owned a E46M3 and is still deciding between the Audi S4 or the C55. As for ur question, I suggest the new M5, E55 or maybe a Porsche 997.

personally it's not a big deal IMO. I wouldn't mind driving the new C320 sport although I would miss the power sometimes. If you looking for something just as fast and around the same price range, try S4, M3, or CTS-V. If you want something more luxurious and FAST then there are the E55, RS6, M5, Stype-R, and XJ-R.
