If you like the big merc, and still want something kind of cool to drive..go find a Marauder:

And there is always the CTS-V..or a G8. Lots of cool cars for the enthusiast types these days.

Was an old lady, like 60-70s old, she rocked a Marauder for a few years in the Lex Park area, woulda been in the 2003-2006 timeframe, when I was driving the SRT-4 around. Saw one of the new space age CTS-Vs just today. Wife thinks I'm a loon for keeping a running inventory of "cool" cars around the area 
From the kid with the 240SX that has plastic fenders riveted on to the Fiesta ST, the Hennesy Viper that commutes, I notice cars everywhere

There is a young guy around where I live that drives a really clean and well done Mazda 3. Runs 11 second 1/4 times. Real nice car with good suspension and brake upgrades. Yes, I still like to see what cars are going around in the area.
Fishtail you mentioned some nice cars, and good options/ideas. Not sure what I will get. Wouldn't mind another Auid, but post divorce budget may not permit that purchase.
My street racers years ago weren't too subtle. Big block Mopars.

At least I am not the only one.

You have company. I just enjoy cars. Have a few favorites but enjoy seeing all of them.

My wife says I should be a repo guy, used to play a game where I would try and guess what was behind us based on the headlights. Was pretty accurate, no they all look the same. I love looking at a vehicle and picking out subtle differences that make it, its own. Like seeing a debadged car, it looks stock to most people. In reality they want theirs to stand out from the others, even if its something that subtle.

Cars are cool
<-- Another car guy (that owns a Civic Si as a my daily driver by the way.)
Yeah..it is too bad..I used to do the same thing. Some of the newer cars with daytime LEDs are getting creative with their look.

I do that too. There is a white Tesla running around up here that I see all the time, along with a couple of nice Porshe's.

I agree. I used to be able to pick out a car by it's lights, then it got very difficult, but now the LED designs are starting to help make it possible to identify them again. Some older cars are still easy pickings though, like aero fox mustangs (with the yellow markers bracketing the headlights) and the crown vics.

Yep, one Tesla S right near my office, driven by a lady. Just saw a new white ST Focus walking over to lunch
The car was down in front of the hangar one day, want to say it was a high ranking Navy or Navair person. Car was nice to see in person.

Ass-hole
Will be interesting to see how the C7 Z06 performs. Definitely a sweet car. Problem in real world is that anything rwd with over 500 hp becomes increasingly hard to launch and will generally have serious traction issues. They have some fancy traction control on the the new z06 and the first ever auto which should help alot, but all the traction control really does is cut power to the limits of adhesion.
As someone said earlier, the Vipers are just as bad if not worse. Early models were an absolute joke and even the later ones are a handful. Again, traction is their problem.
Ive had one of almost everything and I think Im hooked on the awd supercars. Porsche turbos and currently GTR. Absolute animals on the street where roads are imperfect and dual clutch trannys to make anyone look like a pro. Amazing when you can drive to the strip getting 22mpg with the AC and stereo on, avoid the burnout box and launch it to a mid 10s pass. Then drive back home stopping for groceries for the wifey. Technology is great sometimes.

My friend Prasad has a GTR, sweet car. I think he was recently going for the 1/4mile record on stock turbo's..if I'm not mistaken he ran a 10 flat, but I'm not sure if that broke the record or not. Then he went E85 tune and dipped into the high 9's. That car is fast for sure, though it's not really my cup of tea. Just a little to big/expensive for me. If I had the money to buy one of those, I think I'd rather have a 911, but that's not really a problem I have at the moment. lol.

See that all the time, a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing
911s are absolutely built perfect. Bullitproof from 50 yrs or refinement and engineering. Their problem is they are just plain boring. They look like every other 911 out there. A turbo S vs a 996 base are too similar in appearance. The GTR is an animal. Easy to launch and minor mods will put it to 600 awhp on 93 octane and stock turbos. Better yet, the awd and twin clutch make it behave like its got another 100+ hp. No loss of traction and perfect shifts everytime.

So what's worse, the four wheel street racing rice burner, the two wheel street racing rice burner or the giant 4 wheel street racing SUV/Truck fuel burner
They are all evil.
Until I get one. Then it's ok.
