re: What new "sports car" would you like to have?

I was going to get a CTS-V but my head was like an inch from the roof even with the seat leaned back so I had to pass, fricking FUN car to drive though and hauls arse!

I'm short as shite so that's not a problem. I loved the CTS-V, but they are a bit dated now. The new Vsport is nice, but a bit bloated (price too). The ATS is great chassis, with new V drivetrain should be bad arse.

Caddy doesn't get the respect they deserve.

Plus with 4 doors, I can sell it to wife as a "family" car.

Was it a drag car?

Set up for it. Never raced. Just on track for fun. Still got the racing slicks on it. So, I don't take it out if it's raining at all.

So what did you get?

If that is your budget, there is nothing in that price range or class that will be faster, more reliable, and hold value better than the Corvette.

FWIW, you can still get a stick.

Out of the cars that I can realistically buy it would be a SRT Hellcat.

Sorry about the midlife crisis, bro.

What new "sports car" would you like to have? In my actual price range... Cadillac ATS-V Charger Hellcat Corvette Stingray BMW M3 or M4 I'm about 85% sold on getting a ATS-V next summer/fall.

In a bit of the same boat. I have added the m3 and a gently used m5 to the list as well. Will probably end up with the m4
Not considering the hellcat. Not good enough handling.

Very nice and I like the unusual color (I occasionally judge car shows).

Coming from a Judge, Thanks! Actually, that is factory paint (Fathom Green). I think the blue sky and the surroundings kind of mixed in with it giving it a different look.
