Supposedly the audio V-10 is the most reliable super car you can buy, I really want one, but I don't think one with fly in good ol Lafayette, IN. It would look nice parked outside of Harry's at Purdue, but I think it would be more trouble than what is worth.
Vipers car cool, you have to admit, They are hillbilly in the sense that its dodge, but on Pass times majority of the owners were not white rednecks

I considered the Viper ACR...loved the outrageous looks but the interior looks medieval plus I couldn't get that thing up my drive without tearing off the front chin spoiler.
I'd vote for the CLS...looks, comfort, and power...

I went to go buy a Viper. Black w/silver stripes. In my head I knew I JUST WANTED THAT CAR. I test drove and it was total dissappointment. Everything about it was hhhooorrrrrriiiiiibbbbblllleeeee.
It's basically how I ended up with the C6. BTW, The 07 C6 got 30MPG on the freeway!!! I'm not lying.

I would go for a used CL65 and then chip it or a CTS-V coupe. I saw the CTS-V coupe in my neighborhood and it has a massive presance on the road. no joke. It just looks so exotic.

Great looking ride.
How are these as the miles pile on? Reliable? Can you get a warranty?

Or they may have vague memories of a Black and a Silver E55

I think that is your kind of car. It gives you that "wolf in sheeps clothing" kinda thing too. When Bucky and Kooter in West Laf. pull up next to you in their Mustang GT, they will think yor gonna get walked. Of course, only seconds later they will be wondering what AMG means while the badge is rapidly disappearing.

I'm not so sure about the "Wolf in sheep's clothing part"...
I personally think that is a pretty manacing looking car. 2 doors just looks sooo much more aggressive than 4.
From those pictures she looks like she is doing 160 MPH in the showroom.

I agree. It wasn't the best choice of words. the point is there aren't a lot of people in Indiana that understand what an AMG can do. Even less in Lafayette were Chad lives. You should see the looks on some of the faces of people that thought they would blow the doors off of my SL55.

That CL65 looks amazing with those red calipers! Don't like the wood grain on the inside though (I have the black ash or whatever it's called in my E55)... But, back on point... I often consider where to go after the E55 as well. I am not a fan of the CTS-V's looks (inside or out), so that isn't an option. For me, the car would have to be a daily driver, so a Lamborghini/Ferrari really isn't an option. Possibly the 4-door Porsche... I finally saw a white one in person (up close) the other day and was more impressed than I thought I would be... Pictures don't do it justice, but definitely isn't for everyone... I was thinking possibly a Bentley Continental SuperSports or a Maserati... I know the SuperSports isn't a 4-door (or even a four-passenger really) though...
