what car for 40k??
 

Ifs

honestly, not much thats just around 40k besides maybe a elise

If it HAS to be brand new off the lot, an Evolution. Used car? a RX7 FD and use the rest for mods and maintenance :) .

Vette! Do it! The new G37 is looking pretty slick too.

An RX8. With FI!!!!!

Depends what I wanted. Personally I would go for 335xi coupe

My friend

My car, a Vett , which is next on my list.....

I'd put all 40k down on black... (Roulette has the highest chance of winning in any casinos) :rolleyes:

LS1 FD with any supporting mods I'd ever want.

That's crazy!! I didn't know you could buy those cars brand new. I'm going to have to go down to the Mazda dealer after work and check them out.

I decided to look at the bmw models yesterday out of the blue.

Totally +1

I would buy an rx-8 and use the rest for mods, wait.....I AM doing that right now!

Without a doubt, I'd use it to put a down payment on the new M3:

or the new EVO, maybe the new STI, or if new is out then build a stupid fast ls1 powered FC. :)

I like the new Dodge Challenger...But no word on when it's comming out or the price...

I'd never buy a new car so I picked any car under 40K ;)

Lotus. You just need about 20k on top of your 40k :)

evo mr, black of course

G37 Coupe 6 speed of course. The new CTS also looks sweet but only comes in sedan form.

if I can add a 1 in front I'd buy a lamborghini gallardo (people, its gai-ar-do)

Cadillac CTS in automatic, BMW 335i coupe in manual (extra money needed for the Vishnu piggyback), and Infiniti G37 coupe in manual or automatic.

The 335i coupe interior is a little more acceptable than the sedan's. The Infiniti G37 coupe interior is still not quite acceptable. This one is more solid than the old one's but it's a generic SUV interior. Look at the vent slats that go vertically. They're vertical because the damn dashboard is so damn tall, just like an SUV's. The only Infiniti interior that is acceptable is the M's, the interior of which is a bit similar to that of the G37 coupe's, but even the M's feels not as tall as the G's.

All three are overweight. So my ideal pick would be the next rotary car in 2010.

I would seriously consider a BMW 135 instead of the 335 or m3.

It carries the same engine as the 335 and is alot lighter, has 50/50 balance, 6 sp, 300 hp and for it's weight, does 0-60 in 5 secs. A few mods will make that even quicker, and at 35K, you'll have some cash for mods...

Has to be a brand new car? Probably a G37 Coupe. The 335i coupe I'd like too, but it's 50k if you include all of the options and it lacks a limited slip differential, which the G37 has. They both pretty much have the same performance stats too, plus the G37 doesn't have the oil cooling issues that the 335i coupe is having.

A track day racer though... Lotus Elise, without a question.

I would say the 335xi coupe. Dad just picked up a 335i coupe wednesday and that thing fliesssss. Rodigo, the 335i does the 0-60 in 4.8 secs acccording to car and driver I believe. But it will cost you in 40k plus, at the base. The interior is very impressive and simple but it has a lot of features

Im not a fan of the new G37. It's hard to say. I'm not sure if there is anything out there for 40K that I would buy brand new.. I would look at an 06' G35 6MT and use the rest for supporting mods I guess..
