Have you considered a GT-R? I heard those are popular

I vote for a 911 or Panamera

yep...

One great thing about FRS - it is affordable and you can keep modding it to keep it fresh and fun. You can have really nicely modded, unique and fast FRS for not that much money at all.

Especially since TRD SC is coming for it and it has to be CARB legal.

Hey Mike,

From your list earlier I had a few things pop into mind. In terms of 20-80k, you have a lot of space to maneuver yet still stay reasonable with your choice. If you are still set on an American automobile, I would look at the CTS-V coupe. The 2013 model is rated at 551 horsepower , plus there would be plenty of space in that plush interior for you to enjoy the ride.



Albeit I know it isn't the best looking car, but it would still be an amazing ride.

If you can't get over how it looks though, I would look at something like an S5 or an M3. You cannot go wrong there. There's a guy near me who owns a black S5 and that thing is gorgeous. The sound it makes cannot be topped either.

So, we could safely conclude now that the Mayans were in fact wrong?

Well I'm still searching.... momma deserves the best .... we were looking at RX-F sports to maybe replace her RX 400h and well....next thing you know we walked out with a GS F-sport

I'll tell more.... with her having a GS now it really opens up maybe trying something else.

Good luck on your purchase, I assume whatever you get will be sporting some nice concave Vossens?
