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

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