The E46 M3. A friend has a Laguna Seca blue one and another guy has an Avus blue one. Those cars are sexy, especially with a few minor appearance mods like a lower front splitter, angel eyes, and eyebrows.

If you'd put the IS300 on the list, I would have voted for that because with a nice kit and wheels that car is too sexy IMHO.

Im set on SL55. My dad has one on order (LUCKY SHIT) and has already told me that I will not be able to breath on it. HAHA. If it were me, Id feel the same with a 480hp car. Oh well, Ill post results after this August when I hopefully get to see it,which is doubtful

for 2 doors I pick up the porsche 911 Turbo.
For a 4-door Sedan, I will take the M5.

911

odd having 2 911's in there... both are fairly similar in looks.

Although they do have some distinct differences...

Just a thought...


I still can't believe someone voted corvette out of all of those cars... LMAO

Yea, I thought about the 2 Porsches but I realized the performance difference and $30000 difference was alot. Some people dont really like the Turbo as much for some stupid reason so I put both. Cant wait for the first person to put down the CL....HAHAHAH

With the space for 4 adults comfortably plus a big trunk and faster than most real sports car out there, I'll take an M5 please.

M5

The title says best looking, but the poll and post say best overall.

Both are tough choices. On looks, it is between the M5 and 911TT. I would pick the M5 by a slim margin.

Which I would rather drive everyday, the M5, with the 911TT a close second.

SL55...very hot, going to be very fast, I would want it with a stick though (so thats out). At $115k for a 2 seater, qualifies as a dream car.

M5.....great primary car, or if you're a sports car fan but have kids. I personally wouldn't get one.

Z06....no better car for the money, it either exceeds or matches the 996 TT capabilities (not bad for $50k) and 405hp is just a starting point.

996 TT.......best looking of all the choices listed, very exclusive, very fast, at $115k+ also qualifies as a dream car.

996 C4S....if I couldn't afford a 996 TT, don't think I go with the C4S (even though its much more reasonable).

BMW M3.....great primary car, this is what I would get if I had one car (maybe even 2).

CL-S......nice, but out of its element.

Z8.....bloated looking Z3, overpriced marketing scheme (but exclusive regardless).

Ya, well the CL is great for what it is but come on, it's not in the same league. The average price car of that selection is over twice the CL's price. The CL is about value and what you get for the $$. The others are "money's no object" cars...well, except for the M3.

I would get the Ruf RTurbo. It is based on the Porsche 996. It is faster than the GT2 which is in turn faster than the Turbo.

The only reason I put the CL on here is cause some people on here simply think its the BEST CAR OUT THERE by the way they talk and I wanted to see how many idiots there are.
I wouldve picked the RUF but I kept going with production cars, if I wouldve went aftermarket, you would see a AC Schnitzer Z8, Ruf Turbo, Lingenfelter Vette, Dinan M3, Dinan M5, etc.
