Need help picking next daily driver

I plan on getting another sports car to use as a DD later on this year, or first part of next year. I've created a list and am pretty sure I know which one I want, but I'm curious which one you guys would choose.

A few things that you should know;

-I'll be keeping my Protomotive 996TT
-I do not need 4 seats
-I do not need AWD

Which one would you choose? Other recommendation(s)?

Thanks.

CLS63, test drove one the other day, its soo comfortable and smooth, and with 500+hp, comes on like a beast when you want it. Perfect balance of both worlds.

I can't believe it, but I have to agree w/ Mademoiselle Jamie on this one: The GT-R. With AWD it will be perfect for the heavy rains we get here in Screwston.

I have the CTT when I need 4 doors.

However, my G35, when I get my 100 shot installed is also a great DD.

Also, I think that the M3 is a great choice.

Scott is there a price range your thinking of? How "fast" does it have to be? Will you be modding it?

Another vote here for the New GT-R. Very very anticipated launch, can't wait to see the official release.

I am the lone E55 vote so far but I am biased

GT-R is a close second...

Thanks, guys. The poll results are pretty interesting so far.

I'd like to keep the cost under $75k....but I'll have some room to move if I really need it.

I'd vote M3 if you didn't need four doors or AWD. I think the GT3 would be a bit rought around town everyday, the RS4 would be comfortable but being able to kick the back out with some bit of luxury and the option of a 6speed (that why i didn't go for the E55) could be priceless.

But with your options, its pretty hard to go wrong!

Since you will already have a super fast sports car I would go with an E55 or if you still want something sporty go for the Z06.

RS4 or a used E55 is a smoking deal, just make sure it has warranty
