Love the SHO, no questions asked.... I am looking at another car to play with...

Not a Chevy guy... so no...
Not a Mustang guy... Ford Nationals burned me out on that one....
Not a MOPAR guy.. cause why?
Not an Audi/VW guy... been there done that...

Curious if anyone has looked into the Civic Type-R... I know they are FWD.. but looks like they are pretty fun to build out?

Why not go old school and get a used 60's or 70's HotRod, you can get a decent rust free ride for $10G and then put all the extra money saved into Resto-Moding it. I have a bunch of projects I would love to tackle but cant due to location.

It's a bit early for April fools jokes SBS!  Leaving SHO for a FWD honda?   :bangin:

I know you said no to chevy, but as mentioned the CTS-V is in a different class than even the SS.  Having come from a STS-V (No, don't even research it, I loved mine, but they have issues) I did hang with the CTS-V crowd and I can tell you the level of interior refinement in the Caddy is a step above.
Plus the blower is already installed and base tuned for, so you have a designed package out of the box.

The AMG's are an option, but from what I have been told get extended warranty, when they go, they go and are $$$$$ to fix.

True if you watch autovlog if the AMG engine goes, just replace the car LOL.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

It all depends on your buget! The new Infinity Q60 Sport coupe caught my attention while having my G35 serviced last fall. I believe they also make a 4Dr Q60 or Q50 version IIRC!
Best of luck on your Quest.  Z

The shop I was talking too was more excited over the AWD system.

My dad has a Q60 red sport I think they call it.  fun car, but if you are a big guy (my dad is 6'4" broad shoulders) the seats can be a bit narrow.  He likes the car otherwise, handles nice and flat when you crank the wheel and really scoots.

I heard the tuning capabilities are quite notable similar to the SHO platform.  Z

Do they use variable compression engines in them?  Hope that tech works out.  IDK where all this is going, along with GM's proposal to have one turbo per cylinder!
