If 2011 is a good year...
Looking ahead to 2012...and a bigger garage.
What's the vote between:
1. 2010 Porsche 997 TT - coupe w/tiptronic and chrono -
- possibly with AWE 750 kit
- always wanted a TT in my lifetime ever since I had a 85 Targa
2. 2010 Audi R8 V10 - coupe
- stock
- love the looks but always thought the V8 was always wanting
3. 2010 MB CLK BS
- maybe headers and roll cage
- great drive and with the headers and mufflers massaged it sounds hellish
4. Nissan GTR
- with Cobb upgrade

Ok for starters If I have to be truly honest, number 4 is automaticaly out for me. It's a Nissan the 1st choice would def be a great one next to number 4. The 997 TT is class with *****. Than again comes option 2 and 3 which are both mazing cars. This is why overall I would have to vote for number
****3**** why? Because you have 2 beautiful Benzes another black one would be like Batmans garage. This would make your car collection one of a kind.

If youre looking at any Porsche, go drive a PDK. It is a completely different car than anything youve driven before. The PDK makes the car feel like it has 50 more HP automatically.

Avoid the 2010 like plague. Get a 2007-09 (convert the lights if you love the look) then do the 700 hp deal. 2010 (997.2) won't take anywhere near that power on the stock case.

993 tt, there so much engine upgrades for them you will love them once is tune.
I own a 1986 Porsche 930S and planing to buy a 1996 Porsche 911tt.

I know you wont leave the exterior stock lol like me as well, so my vote is the 997 TT.
I like the manual option as good as fast as the PDK is.
The AWE 750 kit OMG, I've seen it go on the freeway ( takes out just about everything I've seen) and is straight ridiculous...SOOO FAST.

I have not driven all of the cars on your list so my input is less than truly objective. I drove a CLK 63 BS at road Atlanta this summer. What an awesome machine it is.

After speaking to the tuner house (C2Design), I am leaning towards a white CLKBS in matte CF exterior details OR a black Porsche 997TT PDK. Now I need to bust my **** this year to finance this dream garage...
I guess I like having a project cars...

1. R8 V10 with TT kit. Game over x 2. (On my list of most wanted cars)
2. 997.2 TT (Crazy out of the box performance and fun to look at)
3. GTR (I like this car a lot. Best bang for the buck)
4. CLK63 BS (Slick ride, unique, sounds mean)
Oh yea, +1,000,000. GL to everyone in 2011. It's going to be a good year!

Best of luck to you.
I don't have the insane garage like you do, but I am looking to change the M5 next year and two of my choices are pretty much the same... either a 2010 997TT PDK or a 2012 GT-R or the upcoming C63 AMG Black Series.
I'm heavily leaning towards the GT-R. I don't care what people say about it being a Nissan, the GT-R is a fantastic car. You can say the same thing about the upcoming C63 BS, it's a $100k C-Class. I don't care about status, I want something that I find fun to drive.
Either way, seeing how you've modded your cars, you won't be making a wrong decision
