Basically, lets say all can be had new or used at 70k. Which one do you buy?

I vote for the Turbo, just because well ... it's a Turbo! To be honest though, I wish you had included the 997 Turbo not 996. It would have been a much easier choice then ;). And I love how you keep including the Mugen Civic haha :p.

I had a hard time between GTR and E55, but I guess I go for GTR... the god of battle!

I know these cars don't have much alike but its amazing how we are being blessed with great cars from almost everyone. Around 70k, this I feel is a reasonable question.

Hard to say how good the GT-R or IS-F will be. I almost voted GT-R, but I just couldn't since it isn't out, so the Turbo it is. Shame it isn't a 997, but the 996 will do. :)

I've always been a big sucker for loud Mercs....and i'd realistically fall for the E55, but i'd probably put my money on the IS-F

Vette Zo6 for me.. None of the other cars mentioned can touch it in performance and handeling. I must have one in my lifetime.:D

Emergency please...




(Yeah, call 911... :D )

I voted P car.

For a daily driver, the E55, for the weekends the Z06 :D

easy choice.. love the attitude towards the mugen rr though

I'm saving up for the Z06. :)

yeah Z06 for me please
a lot cheaper and easier to maintain and repair than 996 Turbo

hmmmmm $70k?

used Lotus Exige S and a used GS300 please

E55 for me.

516ftlbs makes me happy

996 turbo for $60k. The tranny feels a little rubbery to me, and the steering feel isn't quite as good as a regular 996, but it's still a great car. If 415 hp isn't enough, you can install an aftermarket chip for an additional +97 hp for under $2k. The beauty of OEM turbos...

I don't think the IS-F and E55 belong in this comparo. They're obviously awesome cars in their own right, but they are sedans and the other 3 are sports cars with supercar performance.

996 is ok, but still won't take it, like the 996 headlight, but like 997 body more.... somehow.. though they were the same cars. lol

I don't like the look of the new GTR

Is there a E63 choice?

Very good car indeed, almost my choice

IS-F looks ugly, if there's a IS-F with a normal IS body, that'll be better.

Mugen..... no.

I'd take the E55, it's a car that can be used anywhere, anyone, for anything... almost...

E55 is fast but it drive like a school bus its not a sports car... 996tt i still like it but it does start to show its age I had fun with it on the way home today and I didn't know how fast I was going until i look at the rear view mirror:eek2:

I would take a zo6 for now and GTR and IS-F later:)

GTR, skylines are my dream are and im sticking to it!!!

No C63? :]

For a daily driver, the E55, for the weekends the Z06 :D
+1, I second that .

E55 prices are dropping!!!
