I love the spartan, no bullshit dash of the e90's, especially with the brushed aluminum and without navigation. On the other hand, I don't care for say, a G37's dash.

M4 all the way.

 

Jaguar F-Type S

 

fixed for your pleasure.

 

You can only get manual RWD with the Type S though.

 

Base is available in the configuration as well.

Weird car the F-Type has become, though. R (& its RS or whatever) will be AWD-only which means they're auto-only. Those are 2 cars that would have been fun with a stick & RWD.

 

It hurts but I gotta go M4, I also test drove one recently.

 

If any choice in that price range, I'd choose the Mustang GT350R now that I think about it.

Leaked pricing suggests $63,495 price tag.

 

Manual M4 in Yas Marina Blue!

 

That car is going to be a beast, but I would have to go with a M3 in the same price range!

 

I would really have a hard time deciding between M3 and a used GTR

 

No stick for a GTR!

 

if you havent heard, my next car is not stick.

 

I know.

MEH!

 

Since no one could drive my car, naturally i am always the DD.

I need to change that for once

 

Find better drinking buddies or use uber.

 

 

Yeah, that's LAME!

 

 

I have not used Uber once....

 

oddly enough this was parked in front of my place today... man I love this colour!

 

well... use it!!!!

and keep the manual cars.

Have you seen the blue one in person? It's SICK.

 

I have not but by looking at the pics , it looks pretty wild too

 

Agreed. Or even the normal (lol, normal) GT350 and save an additional $14k.

Why? If you're out to buy a performance car, why not buy one that performs just as good or better and is more reliable and is vastly cheaper?

Also, not in the same price range. The Mustang is fully decked out at ~$65k. The BMW barely has power windows at that price point.

Also three words:
Flat
Plane
Crank

 

If I was in a market to buy an all-out performance car, it would be a used C6 Z06. I wouldn't pay $65K for the track focused GT350R.

The M3/4 is the ultimate DD+Track car.

 

i wish i had 75k burning a hole in my pocket, id be all over that snot green m4 LOL

 

Wish they made the M4 in Estoril Blue instead of Yas Marina

 

i always liked the laguna seca blue

 

Then get the non-R GT350. Bet it's still just as fast or faster than the M4 and it's even cheaper.

FWIW, I love the Corvette but could never DD a Z06. The thing just drives too much like a racecar. Crashes over bumps, the chassis creaks, the interior has tons of rattles and squeaks, etc. The new C7 is a lot better but a lot more expensive.

dat noise doe...

 

something about those German cars man.....Those guys are genius on many levels, but when it comes to car performance....hot damn

 

I'd have to drive both for sure, but as Sam mentioned, that flat plane crank...

And Uber is awesome. So easy to use, and the cars are nice.

 

My ideal all out performance car won't be a DD for sure.

Both GT350 and GT350R will not be anywhere close to M4 in terms of luxuriousness and DD drivability.

Don't get me wrong though, I love GT530R. It just won't be my choice of performance car under $70k.

 

Someone did that.

Paid $5000 to BMW to paint a M3 Individual Estroil Blue...

 

Anything is possible with the right amount of $$$

 

damn....

 

All day

 

This x1000

 

E9x + ESS supercharger > F8x

I drove a co-worker's manual M4 and walked away unimpressed. It was decently fast once moving, but lag was discernible. It also suffers from ZERO steering feel, and that's something I just can't look past.

That said, the M4 was by far the easiest manual car I've ever driven. Between the hill hold function and auto rev-matching on downshifts, you need absolutely no skill and concentration to drive it, which I suppose is good for people using it as a DD.

 

yuuuuup
