I would pick...

I would have to say the up and coming BMW M6. God willing I plan to unless they release a new Supra or RX-7 that catches my eye.

Those G35 coupes are beautiful cars, but they always sound like they are trying way too hard to go whatever speed they are going. I've also never seen one going particularly fast, but that may be because the average G35 coupe owner is much more mature than I am!

Most of these "trades" y'all are going to have to come up with a huge chunk of cash for. I already got mine.

I've been assuming the premise of the thread was an even trade. What would it take for you to give up your 8? I named my price...

So I suppose the Porsche Carrere GT wouldn't quite do it for you then? Hilarious.

Nope, I'm holding out for the McLaren. Why, do you have a Carrera GT?

If I did have a Carrera GT, I don't think I would trade it for your 8.

Good. Makes it even easier to hold out for the McLaren. Whenever you're ready to fork over the F1, we can do business.

How about if I put a Type R sticker on this Odyssey? Just think of the HP gain!

My prognosis: Elephantiasis of the front bumper, and flanking tribal tats one decade late.

Do I have a future in medicine?

You would have to be better at medicine than auto trading. So yes. :p

Back in the day, to get back on topic, I would have traded my 8 for a low mileage M3 vert. But only if it was black and totally clean.

If I were to own a BMW, it had better have an inline 6 or a V12. The McLaren happens to have a BMW V12. Plus, it'll have less chassis flex than a convertable M3 since it's a coupe.

No M3 ever won LeMans outright.

I'm not giving up my 8 so easily. Yer all sportscar *****.

How about keeping the 8 and just mooding it?

1) stuff one of these bad boys in the engine bay. http://www.gmpartsdepot.com/store/pr...Category_ID=2&
2) Upgrade all suspensions parts.

I suppose I could live with one of these. :D http://www.jaguarusa.com/us/en/vehic...s_concept.htm#

If the premise was an even trade, then I would trade my 8 for nothing. I drove everything else when looking at the 8, and always came back to it. The used BMW M3 is too expensive to maintain, and none of the other appealed to me.

So I would stick with my 8. :D
