Default God help me and my marriage. I may be back.

Every second since I sold my 400hp manual I've hated myself.

Well the guy I sold my first ever non turbo sc to is looking to sell. And while I want an s5 or a g37s or a cl55 or a z4 m coupe, the siren call of the sc beckons. He's got it all nice and ready for a na t setup.

So in the next week I'll probably unload my i35 and get back in the sc game. I've come close in the last couple years, But haven't pulled the trigger. Its too much this time though. Interior redone, suspension all done including every single bushing. Everything I didn't have the skill patience or time to do when I had it.

What is it about these beautiful reliable sexy rare luxurious cars that draws us in like flies to the bug zapper?

Would this be sc#3 or sc#1a since I already owned it once?

The bmw and benz are both a good choice. If not the SC, those are the 2 to go for.

Well as I own both the G37S and the SC, I can attest they are very different cars. The SC has a far more cush mentality with HUGE power capabilities. The G Sport is much more stiff and precise, its definitely a go kart compared to the SC so it depends on what you want. The G Sport is practically maxed out on power so after the usual bolt ons like headers, catback, intake plenum and a CAI you're lucky to gain 30WHP, mind you, that'll be enough for low 12's, even 11's with a good driver, its still nowhere near the power of a mild single turbo 1/2jz build.. Just depends what you want man.

If I had to choose right now on the best all around car, hands down, G37, as long as its the Sport model. It'll out handle the SC anyday, same gas mileage, giant and very over powered brakes from the factory, factory LSD, just as reliable if not more since it's newer, huge aftermarket etc etc..

Good luck on your decision man!
