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 .

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.
