2nd choice = used C6
3rd choice = Challenger R/T
4th choice = 2010 Mustang

I'm still undecided about the 135i vs the Camaro SS for my next car. I brought my '05 Mustang GT to New Hampshire Motor Speedway in August for a track day, and talked to a guy there who had a 135 at the track. He got a stripper with only option being the sport package (the only option you really need), and he said it was $36K. I guess that would be roughly the price of the Camaro SS?

So it's a matter of getting the car that's in your face versus the more subtle approach. Either car is going to rock!

Well seeing that the Camaro is a little out of my price range, (for the options that I want) I'll be getting a 2009 Cobalt SS Turbocharged instead. (To hold me off for the next few years)

And for what the 2SS costs, I think I'll be buying a used C5 ZO6 too or used C6...

I was thinking of getting this IS F until I saw the new Camaro

The new 1 series bmw's are nice, and fast.

but... they look like someone took a 3 series and squished them between two hummers...

It wouldn't be in the same price range...it would be an E92 M3.

I planned on buying one of them, until I saw the price with all of the options I wanted. It was only a bit less than the 3 series and the 3 series looks much better. Glad I waited.

Camaro

I would look at several other cars, the new Acura TL look great in person, a friend has one and I got to drive it, very nice, tight package. I heard that there may be a Challenger SRT10 with a viper engine in the works, that would be something to look at. If they make a Bullit edition Mustang in the new 2010 body style that would also pique my curiosity, and of course a C6. I know the price ranges are all over but those would be the ones that would catch my interest.
