Next car blues and research...

I have narrowed it down to about 6 cars, haven't driven any of them yet, these are based purely on style, and known/heard performance potential. These are in order of desired, not price. I have an 03 Benz now that the lease is up on in a year, so either I can keep it now, or give it to the rents, and get my own g-ride... here is the list.

1997-8 TT Supra, slammed, huge pipe, 19" wheels, and lots of power, always wanted one of these...

2005 G35c, probably add a turbo kit within a month of getting it, wheels and lowered.

2005 Corvette C6-Z51, probably leave it mostly stock save for maybe a cam and a 100 shot, wheels and lowered.

2003-05 BMW M3, probably mostly stock, maybe a chip and exhaust or something.

2006 Ford Cobra, it will be damn fast, but not sure if I want to pimp yet another Mustang (4/6 of my cars have been Stangs).

2005 Mercedes SLK, slammed with some Brabus wheels or something sick. Not the AMG though it will be over 60K.

2005 350Z, same as plans for G35c.

Sorry no Acura's listed, but I don't care for FWD, a NSX isn't out of the question, but I think even nice used ones would be too much money.

feel free to add any to the list for me to think about

I'd take them in this order:
1. C6, my only concern would be that it is a first year vehicle
2. M3, nothing else needs to be said
3. Cobra, the potential here is insane if that's what you're looking for

whats up neighbor, I am in Frisco too... What part are you in, I work at the northern Pizza Hut, I know the city well now.

I am not really happy here, I grew up in North CA, and want to move back to So Cal somewhere near the ocean. I wish to live in Hunnington or South Long Beach, where my long time friend showed me some places when I visited a couple years back. I really miss the weather and the atmosphere, Dallas is just not for me, even though I was born here and lived 60% of my life here, it just doesn't feel like home.

The C6 is going to be crazy, just not sure on how nice it will be, I mean it is a GM. The Supra is my #1 pick, but I am not sure where to go about getting one... LOL.

pizza hut must have raised its pay scale quite a bit for you to be buying a $50,000-60,000 car.

Too much money for a car that will probably have many miles on it and most of them hard-driven miles. If this is for your daily driver I'd skip on the Supra, even though I love the car and the engine is bulletproof.

Nice one retard, I didn't say I was getting one next week, if you look at the list, most of those cars aren't even OUT yet. I am a graduating senior Finance major, and figure when I get a job early next year, I'll buy me a cool ass car. I can swing a $700/month car payment on 40-50 K in Dallas, houses are cheap, and I am renting from my parents, so rent is cheap too...

Well if I go that way, I'll have time to deliver some extra pizzas...

That was the last resort option, I would really rather have a nice car, not another Mustang. All my cars besides the Teg and Benz have been Stangs, and sorta getting tired of em.

I think a slammed G35 with a turbo on it making 500 RW on pump on low boost would be sick wouldn't it? I know this is an Acura forum, but still... If Acura would make a driveshaft driven car that isn't $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I would get one..
