Trying to buy a car and opinion wanted!

Hello guys... I'm thinking about buying another car for the sole purpose of "FUN", meaning Road Races, Track Races and Drag Races.

The cars I'm considering are:

ZR1, Z06, M3, GT500, new Mustang 5.0 and 2012 GTR.

I want to avoid the GTR and Z06 since I've had them in the past and want to try something new and different.

It's very hard to choose the cars... Any opinions and ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

Tough choices there Jay. I wish i had your problem.

I say the ZR1. I don't see the purpose of going back to any of the cars you've owned recently.

I think you own the car already that will do all of those things great! Your 11 turbo S. Your already at the top of the food chain, but it is fun to own one of everything!

Not that Turbo S and 458 are not nice but I'm actually into learning to track drive and drift like Formula-D professional drifters... and to do that I shall not be afraid to crash into the walls and I certainly don't have the ***** to crash the Turbo S nor the 458. Hehe...

Little bit skeptical about the build quality. The main reason I sold the Z06 was because I couldn't stand the squeaks and rattles.

Sorry I'm new to forum languages but what does FTW mean? I see that a lot!

I would go ZR1. They are a monster on the track. I might add GT3, either 996 or 997 to the mix. The feel of these cars is great. They are different than the turbo s.

U will enjoy owning a Shelby gt500 specially hearing that baby whining in ur bonnet ..
Plus couple of mods u will easily reach 800-900 rwhp, and not to mention how good it is to drift with mustangs with the right suspension setup . Check out the falcon mustang on YouTube u will have an idea of what I am talking about ..
And price wise is fair compared to the rest of ur options
