So even a new one is out. R35 GTR R34 GTR R33 GTR R32 GTR Lexus ISF BMW M5 All Porsche Lotus Esprit/Elise/Exige Ariel Atom Corvette C6 NSX Supra Lamborghini **Mini Cooper S** :lol :ponder Corvette C5? BMW New M3/M6 335i? Ferrari? Aston Martin? > **[Best value supercars, hypercars, GTs, super saloons, hot hatches, sports cars,...](http://www.supercarworld.com/cgi-bin/bestbuys.cgi)** > > Unique photos, profiles, top tens, record breakers and supercar trumps - all at www.supercarworld.com Double the amount of pounds to get the dollar value. Not much left. I think you would be VERY happy with a new 335i coupe. 1000$ chip thats from BMW and wont void the waranty puts it upto 400wtq and about 380whp. It’s not a supercar but it’s about 50K brand new, very well loaded, and now even come in a hard top convertible with BMW 5 year, 50,000 mile worry free maintanane. For those 50,000 miles all you pay for is gas and tires, everything including oil changes is covered. ![http://www.edbmw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/969338225_1078b3ef1d_o.jpg](http://www.edbmw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/969338225_1078b3ef1d_o.jpg) ---

Yeah 335i lightly modded would be a nice ride… If you wait 2-3 years, you could pick up an '08 R8 possibly for 90K. It’s the first year out so who knows about reliability, but an Audi shouldn’t be as $$ to maintain as a Ferrari… After a couple of years you can see how the reliability and ownership costs are. I think MSRP is 110K right now, not sure what they’re really going for, but I bet it’s a premium… Not like I’m in the market or anything :lol Anyways, it’s something different, exotic looking (in my opinion), and hopefully not a bank breaker for maintenance… ---

Well, if the rare ones won’t do it for you, yeah I’d agree with the 335i. For practical fun, it’s hard to beat. Either that or man up and get a newer Porsche. ASton martin, corvette, bmw, yeah yeah yeah. When you own a Porsche, you didn’t just buy some glitzy halo car to spice up the rest of the lineup. Either Ferrari or Porsche puts you in an entirely different class of ownership. ---

Apparently he doesn’t like Porsche…tisk tisk. How about a new Audi S5 and put 30k in the bank? 4.2L V8, 6 speed manual, super luxurious, comfortable…everything you could ask for. It’s “fast enough” and anywhere it pulls up it gets respect. ---

Leaning towards M3 or AMG. I have no time right now with a few projecs I have going on to even think about it. Probably a good idea to consider buying due to the weather tho. ---

How about this Shawn: get yourself an e46 m3, drop it off here: [http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/BMW/M3/HorsepowerFreaks/Turbos/Turbo\_Kits/part/HPF\_750](http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/BMW/M3/HorsepowerFreaks/Turbos/Turbo_Kits/part/HPF_750) $16k later you have all the comfiness of a pristine e46 m3, with a turbo kit you will NEVER have to worry about, I have NEVER seen an aftermarket company have SO MUCH attention to detail, and thorough r&d for any product on any vehicle prior to this turbo kit. like ever, read up on it a bit if you’re interested, it truly is incredibly impressive. and you can bump to stage 2 with meth injection and be over 650whp on a STOCK LONGBLOCK. with meth and race gas. ---
