Hey Berk,
Go test drive a 2005 or later Cayenne Turbo. It's a Porsche (does 0-60 in 5), it's practical, it's mod friendly, and it gets much better mileage than a SRT8 (at a whopping 11 miles per galllon
).

RR Sport (you can use it in the winter), E55, M5, RS6 in that order.
E55 is GREAT around town driver, MUCH MUCH MUCH better than E60 M5, M5 is just a fun sedan to drive, the RS6 I imagine will be in the 30K+ mileage range and you should expect problems; I was having problems at 2500 miles. Value held up pretty good but I expect them to tank now as all Audi's do. The RS6 isn't THAT fast, I speak from experience. at triple digits the E39 M5 is pretty even and may actually pull away slowly. The E55 would just put it to shame in triple digits.

Out of all the cars mentioned so far I would get either the E55, JGC SRT8, or S600. I've driven the RS6 and its a nice car and AWD but its not that fast, is heavy, and doesnt look that good if you ask me. M5 is a nice car if you spend a majority of your time at 160+mph and like to make excuses when you lose races. E55 is perfect for city driving and has plenty of room. If you need more room just get the S600 (which can be made to go faster but is less nimble). The JGC SRT8 is obviously AWD and has space but the thing I like the most about it is the price and ease of modding. For ~$6k you can have it supercharged and put down 500whp/500wtq 
One other option that I wanted to throw out there is an 01.5 S4. Thats when they had the 2.7L biturbo engines. I recently picked one up for cheap and for a total of $35-40k you can have a fully built engine with GT2871 turbo's and smoke people all day long, have space, good handling, and AWD. If you're happy with 400whp it can be done for under $20k (including the price of the car)
