Shelby gt500 all the way. I doubt your gonna track these cars the 13-14 are monsters. Thats gonna be my next car no doubt
If your bored with the M3 look into horse power freaks you can thank me later
I have a 2012 CTS V Coupe 6-speed manual....absolutely my choice. I have driven the GT500, not the ZL1, and my son had an M3 Conv, 6-speed manual. The M3 has NO low end torque, therefore I didn't much care for it. He ran a 13.87 with it, not to impressive. I have raced a 2014 GT500, both of us on street tires , I have raced 2 stock ZL1's (1 auto, 1 stick) , beat the ZL1's easy, ran about even with the GT500 (I was .06 quicker but had .3 on the tree so I won by 3 car lengths) all at the legal races on the Famoso Drag Strip. The interior on the CTS V, the rear seat legroom and the trunk capacity were the winners for me. It looks great in my opinion and is blazingly fast. Last time out on drag radials, tune, ported TB and AIRAID CAI, it ran 11.70 @ 121.4 mph (dyno 525 rwhp). Best by far for my money!

Another vote for the V! Haven't driven a new one but I loved the looks and idea behind the 1st gen V and I'm positive they've only gotten better.
I still love the XLR look but it needs the V engine! I'm sure they haven't been produced in years anyway
They made an XLR-V, 470ish up, 4.4L northstar with a blower
It would surely need an LS swap then. Never liked Cadillac engines
I believe I may have found what I am looking for...
Low miles, great condition, all options that I'm looking for (competition, technology, premium).. I told myself when I had my E42 that I would never buy anything other than German performance. Life happened and I had to step down a bit. Went the SRT8 route, then SRT10. After driving an M, I remember why I was in love with the car.
In paper it has nothing on the other cars on my list, in the driver's seat it's a completely different story.
BTW, horsepower freaks are still around. And I can be over 500hp to the wheels fairly safely.
