CTS-V. Are the only criteria that it is fast and reliable? Does it need to haul a certain number of people without them feeling like they are shoved into a sardine can? Do you care if it is AWD/RWD? ---

for speed, you arent going to beat an e55 for this price… unless you really mod it… scotts is in the 11’s, stock. cts-v and 335i will be the “newest”, inexpensive, and quick car you can afford, good luck finding an e55 thats 05 or newer for 25k.
