Sold the CL65. Thinking about getting either GT500 or Challenger SRT8
Since selling my raw 800hp supra and now my refined, blistering quick CL65, I need something back in my garage. I want something with a big V8 motor, manual, and rear wheel drive and be able to mod fairly easily. Its a toss up between those two cars (unless there are other suggestions). Which one should I pick up? I'm looking at the 2011 GT500 and same year SRT8 Challenger.

I put a clutch in a GT500 with a 3.6 liter Ken Belle on some drag radials and it was a crazy fast car. I couldn't believe how good it hooked up on the street. It makes 750 to the wheel on pump gas. The interior is so **** house though. I'd go with a ZR1 or C6 Z06 depending on the budget.

So its a GT500 eh rad? lol.. I cant wait to get this CL65 from you snow cannot melt soon enough.. Good luck in your search.. I still cant believe you arent interested in a viper though.. 4 seats.. Damn kids eh man.. Let me know how you make out.. If your looking for RAW power then I would go with the GT500.. The interiors on these kill me though.. But some of the power they put down is intense..

I've looked at the CTS-V's but I want something more raw than that. I would rather pickup a E55/E63 than take a CTS-V. But that's just me.

The E550 is also twin turbo. He could go with that and send to AMS for modifications. I read they were working on a high hp turbo upgrade kit. They already have the Alpha 9 package available for the E63: 850 hp 900 lb-ft tq.

I've been thinking about this. I might just wait 2-3 years and pick up a used CLS/E63 with the biturbo V8 motor. Those cars are insane... The beauty of old age is the patience is better and 3 years will fly by like a weekend (at least that's what it seems). In the spring, I'm going to go start driving all of the cars that are a "maybe" on my list and go from there.

If you were thinking about that Ford GT500, the 2015 looks to be a huge upgrade both exterior and interior might want to wait out for that.
They are selling one at auction this weekend I believe. Charity

Be hard for me to gow from a Cl65 supercar to a Mustang but they can be made to go fast. Why not get a GTR, since you had a supra before.

I can't get past the "ugly" on the GTR. Great cars but not worth the money at this point. A beat 2009 goes for 70+k. That's 997TT territory and lets face it, which car would we rather have... the 997TT.

I can but that number will be closer to $20k. You are right. The 997tt is a much better looking car and for the money that't what I would rather drive too.
