All weather sport cars/sedans please!

Josh,

Get an M3 with snow tires. No really, mine did fine in snow up to 4 inches deep. (Plowed the snow with the air dam). By the way, I would go with an E36 M3 since it is cheaper and there are more aftermarket go fast goodies. Damn, there it goes again, that addiction rearing its ugly head. :biggrin: By the way, since you are the big butt king, sorry, the wide body king, what do you think of the quality of the Erebuni. I like their "new" kit.

I wouldn't call it new. Being a big butt kind of guy, I know that kit has been around for a while. It used to made by somebody else though. To be honest, I'm not a big fan. There are some other kits out there that are quite nice if you are willing to import and deal with possible fitment issues. SOS's latest kits have really grown on me with their subtlety and classy lines. But to be fair, my next NSX will likely be kept mostly stock. I'm getting tired of the tribulations with my current project!
 
Maybe Mercedes E500 4 Matic. Add the Sport package and you'll get the E55 look plus all time 4 wheel drive.
 
Juice, is this what you are looking for?

I drove my '03 S600 the entire winter without any problems in a Michigan winter. The car does great with snow tires and is a lot of fun to drive through the summer also.

BTW I had the computer reprogrammed and it now runs 11.9's at 119mph in the quarter, it is always fun to humiliate Vettes and Vipers in a large four door sedan!
 
01 or 02 Audi S4... Id stay away from the 00's becuase they have notchy trannies and bad turbo. 6 speed, easily 300 hp with a chip and can be bought for $20k.

01 Audi A6- 6 speed, twin turbo and terrible resale value make this car a tru bargain.

EVO's and STI's are also great choice's. Very, very fast and still will have factory warranty left as well as a ton of go-fast goodies available.

SRT-4 's are Front wheel drive and are very cheap and extremly quick.

While sitting in top grain leather seats having your butt massaged by the pulsating seats, lets not forget maybe cooled or heated too depending on the weather conditions.

Has the 600 been reliable? I had a 500 which was in the shop a lot. I see the used 600's sell pretty inexpensively compared to what they sell for new. I am thinking buyers maybe afraid of huge repair bills?

The car has been bulletproof so far, I have put about 17K miles on it in the last 10 months. I bought the car used with 5K miles for 98K, the sticker on the car was 140K! These are definitely cars to buy used, no reason whatsoever to take the big hit driving them off the lot.

The car is still under warranty for another 26K miles so I am not worried about the huge repair bills yet. I have done a lot of reading and the new twin turbo V12's are very solid mechanically, some of them have problems with electrical issues.

BTW I did beat a Viper at a local racetrack with the car prepared as follows:

air conditioning on
ventilated seats on
stereo on
traction control on
seat massage on

I also drove around the water they put down and didn't do a burn out before pulling up to the line. He did a massive burn out which really impressed the crowd. I simply mashed the gas when the light turned green, in this configuration my car only ran a 12.2 but still fast enough to beat the Viper. HE WAS PISSED!!!
