I am not totally done with the SVT yet...

I am going to put on a new filter, new plugs, new axle, and then go get it dyno tuned again. 3L turbo set-up.

Then I might put it up for sale. I like the car, don't get me wrong, but I am looking for something nicer and more refined. I guess I am just growing up...I have my 2nd child on the way, and I am looking for a house right now and with my new job...I have very little time, so I have thought of a couple posssible cars. I will drive them all and decide what I like the most. This won't be in the next month or anything...maybe in the next year...

01-03 BMW M3 (although I really would like a 4dr sedan, I will give ti a chance)
00-03 BMW M5
Cadillac CTS V
I thought about the Volvo s60R and the Audi S4

I have always been a huge BMW fan and I want to keep the car for a long time. Is there anything else I should be considering?

I'd say either an M3 or a 330. I've seen a mod'ed 330 that was killing M3's on course, and his total cost was less than that of an M3. I really like M3's though...

The Jag S-type R is a car you'd like, give them a chance. After '03 (IIRC) the S-type got the bugs worked out of the platform, and the R is

Have your checked out the G35 coupes??

Might as well get a 99-00 XJR. Fairly reliable and 300 wheels from the factory and can be easily had for under 20k.

I have a friend that keeps telling me to just give the Contour a chance...and it has been running pretty well. Maybe I'll it more after the tune.
