Tell him to look at the new boss 302s. Of course after looking at an SS. Screw the m3.

You do know this is CAMARO5.com don't you???? You recommend a M3 and M57x and then tell him to buy a 5.0... Sounds like your on the wrong chat room to me.

If he is located in New York like you are I say the Infinity. That M56x is a beast. I think they are up near 417 TQ also along with AWD. That could be a fun car to drive.

Wait are you talking about the M37 or M56? Either way this is a whole different price level of cars, IMO. It also sounds like your brother is looking more for a powerful luxury car than a "muscle/pony" car. Put it this way, when I was in the market for a car looked at the A4, STI, Camaro and 370Z, when my friend recommended the SI. I said no thanks and meant it. The cars you are recommending him just isn't what he's looking for. However that price level is in ZL1 territory and a test drive can always make/break a decision. My vote however is for the M3.

None of those cars compare to each other. They are all very different. All but the Camaro (or Mustang) will be very expensive to maintain, especially if they don't have a warranty. Do a price check on a brake job for an M3.

he is kind of confused. lol the reason i said 5.0 or boss as someone mentioned is because he said the camaro felt heavy so i said the mustang is quite light. im 16 idk much about cars but i do know from other posters thatthe GT is faster and lighter than the camaro. but doesnt look as great. i told him go with the M3. and he is looking into it more than the rest. i told him he is 25 the m57x looks like a car for a older guy.

douchebag?....your screen name is bear jew.... M3 is the best blend of luxury and track capable car. Can't really cross shop infiniti/chevy/ford with BMW. C63/RS4 would be the cars closest competition.
