Don't listen to anyone suggesting Lexus. Lexus and sporty shouldn't be in the same sentence...mind for the LF-A.

Absolute best bang for the buck is the Charger and the SS. If you want more luxury: CTS-V or ATS-V, M cars, AMG cars, and RS Audi's are the go-to.

Porsche stats are typically conservative however they quote:

0–60 mph (0–97 km/h): 3.2 seconds
0–100 mph (0–161 km/h): 7.2 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.5 seconds @ 127 mph (204 km/h)
Braking 70. mph (113 km/h) to 0 mph (0 km/h): 135 feet (41 m)

You may need to look at the 2015 Audi A7TDI Premium Plus quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 8A)








De nada.

You're really ripping yourself off if you get a Chevy SS over a Charger SRT8 and damn sure over a charger hellcat. The 392(srt8) has more power, faster, more roomy, looks better, and handles better plus more features.

The hellcat, well that's just in another league altogether. Go test drive a 15 SRT8. Go full throttle, and you'll be signing papers in no time.

If you're wanting a suv, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is what you want.

A lot of good car suggestions so far. Personally I would get the Chevy SS with the six speed and magnetic ride control. If you're open to SUV's then look at the Jeep Cherokee SRT8.

Anytime I say anything about a Charger or Challenger, I just get labeled as the stereotypical black guy. People dont realize how damn nice the new Mopars are. The technology that came from the merger with Daimler(Mercedes) and the new engineering from Fiat has really turned 11+ chargers and challengers into totally different monsters. All the luxury of a Benz, in some downright pure American muscle.

All the mid sized SUVs look like bitch vehicles in my eyes but that's a me problem. I've driven a few and they're okay but I'm going Yukon, Tahoe, Denali, or Tundra. I wish they still made the Avalanche.

It's not that. Every time a car conversation comes up you recommend the same freaking car. There's plenty of great cars out there but you're stuck on one.

Porsche Macan hasn't been mentioned. Fits your budget and provides true sports car performance in a small SUV.

I recommend chargers, challengers, 300's, grand Cherokees, Camaros, etc. OP is looking for a powerful sedan for under 60k. That fricking screams Hellcat dumbass.




I also suggest you do your research on the 15+ challenger and charger. The option list for a fully loaded one has all the creature comforts of a mercedes Benz sans massaging seats.

There are Chevy's with option lists similar to my Audi. However, when you get inside the cars there are clearly differences in the fit and finish of the car.

Maybe you should be looking for a job to support all those kids, dumbass.

Not at all. I find it discreet and VERY elegant. I just think he´s not going to be taken aback by it.
