I think you can turn out an S500 with your taste that car would look sick and fit your 6'5 height just right . I don't see your car for sale on the site were is it.

Rick.....Here's my two cents......you are obviously into the car show scene, so you might want to go with a car that will attract attention at the shows. I personally would love the Benz, but the reality is cars like the benz and the lexus just are not the type of cars that grab the attention at shows. Dont get me wrong, people may look at them and say, thats a bad *** car, but they are used to seeing outrageous Supra's, etc...

I have had a few Supras.....i love them, but they are kinda played out right now, plus they are still pulling an arm and a leg for used ones. Alot of kids are coming up with high mileage ones also....gotta go with an un obtainable car for the young ones!!

I say go with the M3 and go all out with it. Its still a refined car in a certain class, you can go FI with it, and there are a ton of products for it.....and it will pull attention at car shows.

Hmmm, well, if your nito speed.....go with the Supra then. If you mod it tastefully, which Im sure you will, then you can set it apart from the others. The sky if the limit with it for HP....my last one was pushing 796 rwhp!!!

I vote the G35. Although it's a very popular car right now. There's still so much potential for it. There are some in shows now, but nothing with the kind of class and mods you could do to it. Right now, basically what you see is Kit, Rims, T.V.'s/Audio and the occasional TT. You can do much better than that!

I'd go with the LS430, but since you didn't list that then I choose the S500. Good luck.
