Out of the given choices, I say Vette.


Edit:

I also suggest the BMW twin turbo 3 series coupe. I believe the make 400+ from factory and either nearly or a bit over 500 with a chip. Theyre quick and VERY nice.

just subtract 100 from each of your figures. the fastest 335i to date ran a 12.6 or 12.7, and is an active autowerks chip with full exhaust and drag radials.

Get the car you want. If you're spending $50K on a car, they should set you up in like a cobalt or something until your car comes in. My boss did this when he ordered his 5 series. They set him up in a used 3 series while he was waiting on his new car.

yeah id love a civic but at 45k its a little out of my price range..haha jk

I found a red vette with the exact options i want (z51 package) with an absolutely awesome price (about 1k under supplier price), so its going to be that or a fully loaded black on black G37S.

I test drove the G today during lunch, very nice, they are def two very different animals, its either a bare bones c6 (well they all come with leather, smart key, xm radio, onstar, hids, active handing, etc) or a fully loaded G37 (voice control, navigation, bose stereo, ipod jack, aux input for the tv screen, heated seats, etc)

But seriously, I used to joke about them until I had them in my M3. I use them almost everyday in this weather.

Id still go for the vette.
