If it wasn't for the S550, what would you be looking at?

Cadillac ATS-V 0-100 in under 9 seconds.

Something seems awfully fishy with that video. First off, the braking distance and time seems way too short to indicate that the car was doing ~ 140mph. Then the acceleration seems quite weird as well - as if the car is being short shifted through the first couple of gears, then once around a supposed 100mph, the driver puts his foot down and revs it out a bit more. Weird :shrug:

Audio s4, m235i, 2016 camaro maybe but from the spy shots it's looks too much like the current camaro design which I hate. If I had the $$ I would get a 2014 m3 or m4.

Within 10 mph of the limit...mostly.
2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack; drove the 8-speed auto and what a fantastic car! I think if I had wanted an automatic I might have gone with the Challenger Scat Pack simply because the 6.4 liter Hemi is magic with the 8-speed auto. But, no, I wanted a manual! And the manual six-speed on the Mustang is, in my opinion, the best combination for a pure driving experience. The manual six-speed on the Challenger works very nicely but the "negatives" outweigh the positives.

Negatives on Challenger:
Doesn't handle as well as the Mustang
Gas guzzler tax on the six-speed manual

Positives:
Great engine with the 6.4 liter Hemi on the Scat Pack
Fantastic 8-speed auto tranny

I was about to purchase a RC350 before I came across the 4 banger. I remembered how much I enjoyed my '13 5.0 before I sold it for a Lexus so why get another one, a auto on top of that? No way!

Test drove the ecoboost and it makes me smile just as much as my 5.0, cool sound and awesome gas, can't complain!

Could've gone for a base 5.0 for what I paid for my EB premium but to me interior> power I won't ever use that causes me to have terrible gas. Plus I wanted a turbo since I've always been n/a

I'm happy! No regrets

STi, CTS-V, SRT8 Jeep, and the C7 were my only other considerations.

Still very happy about my choice. The SRT8 Jeep is the only one that I think could have gotten more enjoyment out of, based on the versatility of the SUV.

Was thinking about a Camaro ss.. and would have considered a 13 or 2014 Mustang GT but dont like the interior and then after sitting in the new 2015 and taking it for a test drive it was a no brainer!
