I'm lucky enough to have $70K to spend on a car...

The RS4 would be my choice of the ones you mentioned. Other Audi models are good too.

when am i gonna need to go 0-60 in 3.8?

When racing Van Diesel or running from the cops, of course.

How about a benz? you could probably get a brand new E class for that much in the states

amg is generally never under 100K.... it's the E63 here and its 85 K

When racing Van Diesel or running from the cops, of course.

what about the s4 which is really no different save for the price tag??

i dont want the rs4 for the manual reason... it'll be a bitch to keep thinking about shifting... the s4 has tiptronic, which im not sure what it is... i heard it drives like an auto or a manual, whichever you want..

 

[Jokerman]

The S4 is great and tiptronic is great too. It was actually developed by Porshe and is fully automatic or partially like manual if you choose.

i still got time to decide... im getting, if i am, in december.. hopefully this thread kinda updates itself as time goes on


did someone suggest an IS-F? rumor has it only 1000 will be released in the US... my dad is not gonna go through far lengths to get it... he could very easily throw me a used 99 toyota corolla DX with one hubcap missing...

Anyway I haven't read anything about the M3's having automatic or SMG yet, as far as I know the first ones will be manual, so I guess that is out. What do you think of a CLS 550, it aint quite AMG but still worth a look. C55 aint bad either, it's only around 55 thousand too. Still I think that's the only AMG under 70 so ehhh there is better. RS4 seems to be where it's at, even though I love BMW, go with the Audi. Actually just readin over at the AMG website they are making a new C 63, looks nice, check that out too.

This is part immense jealousy and part serious advice, but uhm, buy something like an S audi or an M beamer and chances are damned high you're going to kill yourself. Seriously. Driving skills do not increase with wallet size.

Get a comfy E series or something.
