I will have a camaro!!
That being said! Never disrespect the EVO, you might get hurt.

because I'm not much for performance. I just love the VII's stylings. It's my favorite Evo body style. I leave the performance and thrills for off road

I would get the new BMW M3 E92. A nice 414 hp (if not a little short on torque) at 295 ft. lbs, V8 RWD for me!



Or an Audi S5. Nice cars...

Review of the new Cayman S PDK. Favorite part---

"The risk Porsche engineers have taken all along with the Cayman is that, sooner or later, they'd dial its performance up so high its natural advantage in mid-engine balance and trimmer-scale would finally propel it into outshining the iconic 911 Carrera. Personally, I think that moment has arrived. Lithe on the road, fluidly seductive in appearance, and positively alive in your hands: It's now, in my humble opinion, very simply the best sports car in the world."

Wait a minute, some of your aren't being very realistic. Are we going with the thought of money not mattering. Because if we are I would be all over a Used R34 Ztune Skyline!
