You my friend are making me dizzy from looking at that list. I never thought that anyone actually cross-shops a S65 and a BMW 335i.

I think we need a bit more info to help you. What are your needs? Is this a daily driver or just a toy? Are you looking for a status symbol or the best performance bang for your buck? Also, any revealing photos of girlfriends or a hot wife would allow members to better match you with the appropriate automobile.

What about a 997 TT W/ Sports Chrono and Tip? OR since you have the means to purchase an S65 and like speed, what about the new 08 GT2?

Too many apples and oranges on that list! In fact, it looks like a fruit basket... It doesn't seem like you'd really care which car.

I am a Realtor, but after 17 years as one, I always thought I had to have a four door. I said forget that and got the Z06. I always worked it out. I sell higher end homes and my clients usually meet me there or follow me.

The Ferrari is because I have always wanted one and can make it fit my budget of $1500 per month or less.
The S65 because I can get it for $140,000 and I think that is a fair deal. Will not be in budget unless I put more cash down. Always wanted one. New body Style.
The 335i & C6 Vette- cheap bang for the buck. 335i will also be a good Real Estate car.
The supercharger Z06 - I might be able to steal it. It is on consignment. But no warrenty from GM and as you know I have blown a engine and tran in my 2007.

It will be my daily driver like the other 4 were. I am not sure what to get. I am dizzy also.

I like to finance cars with no money down. I usually do longer term leases. I guess I have been on a sales man pay scale for to long. I never know what my monthly income will be, so I like to have a low monthly over head???

That being said I like the fact that the exoctic low production cars can be financed for 12 years.

Maybe I just stick it to the man and pay cash for a 2008 Yaris S four door.

well
you havebeen in the corvet so you no it will not fit many people and ride is not great, when compared tot he others you ave.

S65 is well one of the best gizmo's and interiors merc has right now so
you will have super comfort lots of space and well a very fast car at the same time...but it is a big car!

forget the 360 it is old and to be honest e55 is better for daily driving and life in general. (cost/fixing/service/parts etc).

335 is a very nice car from what i hear and the tunes you can get for it, put it right up there with the rs4/new m3.. some say its even faster.

The Nissan is very tempting!!!! new car that is meant to rival the top and has the new jap toys to boot.

so if i was you... either 65 or GTR as i believe these two can be seen as daily drivers. Where as the z06 might not have been

S65. Real classy with good power Not really into Toyota's @ the end of the day it's still a Toyota(sorry) If you just want some great times and smoke lots of cars on the street just buy a 97 Honda Hatchback and mod the hell out of it (9's ,high 8's) all day long. What ever your choice is, It's your $$$ have a blast with it!!!!

Now you see why I posted? I do not know this time what to do.

I think it is very smart for me to get a car with warranty. I use it a lot. I like to mod cars but usually only do Chip tunes and intake mods, so my warranty is not effected.

S65...get for daily use, warranty, brand new look, class of it's own and can be used for those rare ocassions where your clients want to come with you. Downside...depreciation on the car and drinks ton of gas.

I find the Yaris vs S65 hilarious

a 997GT2 is pretty damn hardcore and is just about the top performer out. Since you miss the Z06 I think the GT2 might do the trick

I would get the Yaris S. It offer a lot more bang for the buck. Such as a rear wing(for high speed runs), side skirts(you get 1-2mph top end), and more. I like I mite even upgrade to some 16" wheel for it.

Doug at DC Motors said I can have the 2000 Ferrari Spyder for $110,000. I can get this and the Yaris????

To bad Yugo's are not available. I would love a 2008 Yugo??

I am not sure?????

Get a viper. Then you can pull all the bikes and Z06's you want. 600HP for under 100k. And they don't make a million of them like the vette.

And for less then 15k put a twin turbo kit and start hunting for F-16's
