Plz try not to be as bias.

Ps. All these cars would be bought used

Thanks!

Lmao you can put that. I was gonna say 2014 because there's a small leak that that's when the platform will be started.

But I didn't wanna start a big debate lol

Hahaha good point good point.


The reason I ask this is, I'm going to track my C5(as in off the road and track only)

And I'm thinking of a vehicle to enjoy, not necessarily mod, maybe a little but nothing big. I'm familiar with vette's and very comfortable messing with a C6. But the Aston,Ferrari, and Lambo are a little intimidating.

I found some for a decent price (especially the 360) and i think any of these should be a good candidate.

I shouldn't have put in the CTS-V as I forgot that's going to be my replacement for my CTS right now. It would be nice to have a beautiful family car/DD ya know?

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is really hot, and now they have the smaller Vantage body available with the DB9's V12, it's called appropriately the V12 Vantage. It looks incredible, the larger wheels/tires and vented hood look really racy, make mine Dark Gray, please.

I love the Aston Martins, but I feel I can have one of those when I get older as they are all about the classy body and interiors. They have great exhaust note, but are not the quickest puppies on the block.
I had a 360, it was cool, but kinda outdated and that belt has got to be replaced sometime.
Twin turbo C6, no thanks, nothing special but some horsepower, Porsche...never, not my style,
CTS-V, I like but it would only work as a companion to one of these other cars, to tame looking etc to be the "toy".
You said C7, but then you said they are all used, so that is many years down the road.
For me, it only leaves one choice, Gallardo. Make mine an LP 570 Super Veloce

I'd probably go for the C6 twin turbo first, then the CTS-V if that didn't work out. Aston Martin would be great, but hard to get any service done where I live.

How much power do each make? I would'nt go with the c6 nor the cts-v because it ain't even near in the same league the gallardo or aston martin is in. Unless it's a bad *** Z06 i'd go with the ferrari or lambo.

Thanks for all the responses guys. Yea the Aston Martin V8 and V12 Vantage are great looking. I kind of messed up the poll as I put the CTSV in and forgot I had already made the decision for that to replace my Current CTS V6. So these are all considered the "toy"

PureSwank The C6 would make at least 550-600 no meth. but that may turn into a 402 and go towards 800.

Racer would you mind posting some pics of the 360 and a more indepth review such as maintence and all? I love that car, and must assume it has Paddle shift? Thanks

But now that you say that it isn't an option you may as well go with one of the more exotic cars.

If I were to get a car I would want to drive a few times a week then I would get the aston martin.
If I wanted a car that is stickly for weekends or special occasions then it would be either the ferrari or the lambo.

1. Gallardo and then off to UGR for some serious power.

2. Aston DB S

3. Maybe if you said a 430 or Scud I'd go with the Ferarri over the Aston but a 360 is to old and frankly way to slow for me.

True, I went onto the lambo forums and the Gallardo seems to be pretty reliable.

IMO, UGR is wayyyy overpriced.
