Good luck on a new Z for 65k,and the Shelby is getting over window also.Dollar for dollar the best bang for the buck IMO is the CTSV.Hard to beat at 40k for a clean used one-elegant performance 4 door sleeper,I love mine!

I've already been offered $10K CDN off a new Z06 and the car is sitting on the showroom floor...it pays to have friends who are Chevy dealers

If you want a drop top go for the CLK55

**Zedder** · #15 10-01-2006, 06:33 PM

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys! The Shelby is an interesting option...I'll have to go and do a little research on them. As for the others...it needs to be a 2 door coupe

Ok, 2 door coupe. How about this one, Mercedes Benz CL65:

This isn't about a car; it's about an engine. Forget Vipers, Ferraris, Bentleys, all those rumbling turbodiesel-powered American trucks, and anything else you think has punch. The CL65's handbuilt, twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 spanks them all, grunting out 738 pound-feet at just 3000 rpm. And that's only because Mercedes-Benz electronically limits it to that number; fully unleashed, it'd be good for a transmission-shredding 885 pound-feet worth. Its 604-horsepower rating almost gets lost in the blur.

AMG's power mongers begin with the architecture of the twin-blown V-12 that powers both Maybach sedans and several upper-deck Mercedes and gives it a significantly longer stroke, upsized pistons, larger fuel injectors, higher intake-valve lift, longer valve-opening duration, larger turbochargers packing 22 psi of boost, a super-large air-to-water intercooler, oil jets that spray the bottom of each piston, and a big oil cooler. This amazing powertrain also can be had in the SL65 AMG roadster. This elegant locomotive's 3.8-second 0-to-60 time toasts that of Viper's and Vette's, all of which average in the low fours. 1/4 mile times are 11.81 sec. @ 120.9 mph

At $180K, I guess it's a little over the budget, but maybe you can find a nice used one.

I have an 2005 Audi A4 3.0 Quattro Cab. I traded an S4 6 speed Coupe in on it.BTW,The S4 is a little Hot Rod and also available as a Cab,if you need the performance. MSRP was approx $50K.

Great all season(snow) car and Seats 4 regular sized adults.

I am going to be listing this G500 for my neighbor.
He paid $80K in 2002.
It has only 17K miles, And I am sure he would accept less then half that.
His is an AMG with all the stuff.
Very Fast SUV.
