Another I have always wanted to drive since its got the super high revving racing style engine. I'm a big Porsche fan so would be interested in your thoughts if you managed to drive it.

I have driven a few 997 Turbos and a 997.5 Turbo S. With the 997.5 Turbo S it was fast enough to scared as a passenger. Driving it the acceleration was surreal and loved it. 0-60 is like 2.8 sec. ALL of the power gets to the pavement and the PDK takes care of the rest.

Bet a 997.5 Turbo hits every point you would want in a car. Its shocking how fast and kinda scary that 2.8 is.

BRC sorry we derailed your thread so much. Think you the worst/great advice I can give you is buy the best 911 you can afford.

i like this derailing. Learning a lot.:thumb:

The first JB4 Charcoal '07 335 tuned was around 3.6 secs 0-60 - seriously - i'm not even joking - that's great pull for $35kish.....

That' pretty damn quick. The madness of the Porsche Turbo is somehow ALL of the power is delivered with none or minimal burning tires.

Challenger R/T Scat Pack may be my final answer but a little more that your budget. Might take a bit of patience to get one but it's priced so well for that insane power for a new car in that range. Though a new 5.7 very likely offers more than enough if you go that route.

I'm not at all brand loyal at all when it comes to cars. BMW tends to check all of the right boxes when it comes to coupes and how they drive makes me like them so much.

Are you still narrowed in on BMW vs Challenger? I'd at least drive the Lexus RC 350 F and the Cadillac ATS just to be sure. My opinion, but both those cars are damn nice, unless you just don't like the looks.

BRC - here are the clearest photos of my M, just wanted you to see the size plus how it looks actually clean (we've been getting so much rain) w/ that black grill.
