Hey, but if you died in a GT2, your corpse would probably have a perma-grin etched on it. Best death, evar.

Of course, you know it!

Hey, if I got killed driving a GT2, my face would be frozen like the Joker's too (a la Jack Nicholson from Batman)!

Look at the pic of that first wreck tho - driver prob walked out and called the insurance guy. not something I would worry about too much. Why buy if you aren't going to drive it like you stole it?

Second one is....

1. F430 and yes I would drive it every day if I had the $$

2. Range Rover, which I like better then the P-car Turbo

3. 250 GTO, I'll take the 430 to the track but NOTHING has the pedigree, history and class for some weekend motoring than this lil V12



I am surprised at how many chose the M3 for a daily driver, I figured it would be a little raw for most as a daily driver. The fact I live with one daily is one reason I think I could deal with the 430 on a regular basis.

You're the second person to choose a Cayenne S... why settle for that when you can get the Cayenne Turbo? after all, a Cayenne S is slower than a honda accord V6. Not unless you prefer the more environmentally friendly S over the Turbo.

I thought the "S" was the Turbo.. My bad. Of course, I'd go with the Turbo.

If it was for environmental friendliness, I wouldn't have an SUV. No use for it anyway.

I plan to have one as a daily driver as soon as I finish with all this school...

That is, unless they completely mess up the next-gen M3...

Nice pick on the 250 GTO.

I do like the Ferrari V12s and one of the most sought after and gorgeous cars of all times with a Ferrari V12 in it seems a lock!

As you know it is still hard to get a good fix on the moving target that is the E92 M3. I still have faith in the "modular" approach to the 5.0 V10 which gives a 4.0 V8 with a red line about 8,300 and roughly 400 hp. There is also the looks issue, but I think I am going to like it based on the pics thus far, though I still think the E46 M is one of the most beautiful BMWs, with only the 507 eclipsing it for my eye. However, my biggest fear is an SMG only car, which would not make me happy but it would make it an absolute no go with the wife, she requires a stick in our fun cars. She spent hours trying to get Porsche to sell us a manual Pepper since they have them in Europe. I have just about decided to get a 997 S, I am a N/A engine guy and never thought the 911s had enough go in the N/A engines unless you got a GT3 which is a little too raw for me as a daily driver, based on the Euro and to a lesser extent US mags the 997 S is awesome. Evo ECOTY and Car PCOTY

Your wife is awesome!

I have no doubt that the engine will be spectacular. They already have good targets (C55, S4) and being the last, they'll have the biggest advantage toward being the best. But I think the looks is a big issue. I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't look at least as good as the current car. And I'd be uneasy about buying a car like that used. I'm also afraid of the SMG-only thing. They've already dumbed down the M5.... If you can't even get the "base" M-car with a standard tranny, then I'll just have to give up.

Clutch, who thought he was the only one who reads Evo.
