Buy a used MB CLK 550. For 15-20 grand you can get a 2009 or so. Goes like stink,none of the suspension problems of the bigger cars. If that is not fast enough, they make an AMG with the 6.3, but bang for the buck, the 550 is the bomb.

Ever driven one? Judging by your reply, I'm going to assume not.

Compression ratio is really high in the is350. Most boost you can get is around 5-8 psi.
I think its a high 13 seconds car off the lot. But turbos are not worth the effort in that vehicle. One guy got about 100 hp and was the best Id seen.
Nice car either way.

New Maxima is pretty sweet. Maintenance prices are reasonable, which won't be the case with BMW, Lexus, Audi, etc.

1990 Chevrolet Caprice
First patrol car I ever drove. Thing looked like a turtle or upside down bathtub, but it had some gitty-up for a battleship. Plus, it had bench seats.

Are you looking to seat 4 adults?
What is your top dollar?
Not flashy, fast, seats 4, (don't worry, you can get an auto)

Looking for something that has a lot of HP, handles well, and kinda luxury (roomy). I'd prefer it not be a sports car because almost all those are flashy. Any price range.
Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat uses an insane supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine with no less than 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft. of torque. It runs the ¼-mile in 11 seconds flat on street tires, and is expected to start from just $60,000 or so.
Eta: 7th suggested this also

Dad used to have an IS F, transmission is crap. Sounds amazing especially if you get them to take the mechanism off that muffles the sound under 3000 RPM but after about 40k miles he said it didn't really feel like the same car.

That looks great!

I'd prefer the challenger hellcat over the charger but probably going in a different direction. Some good suggestions so far. Teslas, Rolls Royces, and anything over $120k is FLASHY in my book. I want something that doesn't draw too much attention... I'm leaning toward a luxury sporty sedan or a full size Truck/SUV. I've been driving the full size trucks for the last ten years and I love them but wanted to look at the luxury sedans.
I had a loaded Mazda 929 in college and that was the best vehicle I've driven until some fricking dopers totaled it coming down Acadian one night.

Get a 5 series BMW it's a powerful German sedan that has 50/50 weight distribution and they look great imo they are not too small not too big, also not too flashy but still has that slick BMW look

Yeah, the SS has my attention. Good call. I really need to get inside one and see how it feels. That will be the x-factor.
