What Would You Buy Instead: Mercedes C300 Coupe Edition
ccap41 replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
@Frisky Dingo Agreed, I love me some browns but I think because the are two very different shades it isn't doing it for me either. White with that brown interior would be hot, imo. -
I'm almost always a huge sucker for the newest Ferrari in the sportiest class(360, 430, 458, 488) and this is no exception.. EXCEPT the F40 is such an iconic car I would be absolutely insane to pass it up. It's also still such a raw driver's car not aided with all sorts of nannies to keep my hands, feet, and brain all in check. It's honestly not even that pretty to me. When I was a kid I always loved the curves of the F50 easily over the F40. But the F40 is just so special as an actual driver's car.

CONGRATULATIONS, Brother!!

What Would You Buy Instead: Mercedes C300 Coupe Edition
ccap41 replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
For me I would probably be fine with the refinement of a Mustang GT but if I can have more for a DD, why wouldn't I? I think if I'm buying a sporty coupe it EASILY has to surpass the 300hp mark which the 435i, S5 both do with room for additional options. I forgot about the lack of a back seat in the Porsche. Either way, too many better options and POWER in the price range. If the GT350 wasn't marked up almost everywhere I'd say I could make it happen under 55k(as it's only a fee hundred bucks over) but if I'm being honest a base GT350 would still be above 55k because there would be no way to get it down at all. Second to the GT350, the M2 is probably the quickest as well here. It would probably be a freakin blast to drive at 365hp/343tq and only weighing like 3400-3500lbs. It might be a little tight for a daily but I think it would be worth it. Plus, there's always a good aftermarket following for the M cars, right? I bet just a tune on the turbo engine would turn the wick up plenty good. -

What Would You Buy Instead: Mercedes C300 Coupe Edition
ccap41 replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
I think the new C300 coupe really does look great. I love Mercedes coupes. The might be on the bland and boring side but I love their lines and curves. Mercedes knows how to make a coupe, IMO. With that said.. for 55k I want way more than 240hp/270tq. That doesn't cut it at this price. For a toy because I couldn't really live with one daily where I live.. Enough snow that I WILL NOT drive it in the snow.. a GT350 that is. It also starts at 54,295 but that doesn't include destination which then brings it above 55k. But if this was a second vehicle, a SYNC-less GT350 would hands down be the car. It would be pretty cool to own a Porsche but with how they ala carte everything and a Cayman starting at 53k that really would be a stripped down car for the money. Plus... Who wants a Porsche that isn't a 911? That kind of leaves me to the 4 Series, C Coupe, ATS Coupe, Audi 5's. My favorite non-coupe is the ATS out of those but I don't think Cadillac knows what they are doing when they go from sedan to coupe. C Coupe doesn't have enough balls, 4 and S5 would be pretty awesome. An M2 would be great but I'm afraid it might actually be a little too small for my liking. Buuuuuuut how do I say 'no' to a Mustang GT or Camaro SS all loaded up?!?! I would honestly have to drive the S5, 435i, M2, Camaro SS and Mustang GT to really be able to decide. When I think strictly performance the M2 and SS stick out. And I think after driving all of them the M2 would end up being the new ride. I know it would probably be a little crampy but hell, we're talking about coupes. None of them will be very large, none of them have big trunks. The larger ones just add passenger space behind the driver anyway. I would need it in this color though. I'm pretty much thinking the same think Frisky is. M2 or S5. I'd really have to drive them to make an honest decision between the two but I sat in an M4 last weekend(current gen) and the sight lines and just feel of everything from the driver's seat felt so natural instantly that I would only think the M2 would do the same for me. -
This is the only thing I'm not a huge fan of. But it is customizable. When it first started up I didn't really like it much either as it does seem really busy. But I think part of that is so you can read a little of what the most recent post was in the unread thread..but I don't think that is necessary.

F, that's beautiful! I really want an ATS as well.. Though I'd want a sedan. I LOVE the LEDs on the Performance Package.

Tesla Decides Model S Isn't Fast Enough, Announces P100D
ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Tesla
I think they're getting away with it because of what the are, EV. There really isn't competition out yet(Bolt VERY shortly but still no S competitor). So that gives them the leeway on the delays and delays and delays oh and the quirky doors. I'd definitely want to go with AWD here because it adds some range as well. 8 miles to the 60kWh battery and10 miles to the 75kWhr battery. It isn't much but between snow and performance I'd want it. Worth 5k..? Doubtful. I'm curious what the cost is to buy the 60kWh battery and upgrade to the 75kWh battery because it says, "upgrade to the 75kWh battery at any time" on their page when building the 60kWh. $1000 for a cold weather package isn't anything new because not every car comes with heated seats, heated steering wheel, wiper blade defroster, and heated washer fluid jets. That doesn't come standard on any car, even the S Class. Heck it's $645 for a Focus to add heated seats, steering wheel, mirrors, and floor mats. Yeah they're charging for the Supercharging stations on the 3 unless you buy the package. No word on the package's price yet, as far as I know. Depending on the price I don't see a problem with either charging them at the station or paying upfront for it. I would likely not pay for it unless I was a traveler. I'd just charge at home. -
Frisky's Back With a New 'What Would You Buy Instead?"
ccap41 replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
Oh well.. I tried! But the Astson is sexy as F. Of all colors I wouldn't get white.. and I would sure as hell take that tow hook out of the front bumper too but Aston has always made beautiful cars, that's for sure. -

Frisky's Back With a New 'What Would You Buy Instead?"
ccap41 replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
Yeah I had to make sure I added all of the carbon bits(carbon fiber exterior package was $5,300), fancy leather, high end sterio system($4,500), carbon brakes( $8,900)and the AMG GT S started at $131,000 so it wasn't too difficult to surpass $150,000 -

S Class coupe? That's a beast of a car.. Or a variation of a Contiental from Bentley. Continental GT starts at $198,000 and the S Class Coupe starts at $121,000 and a S63 Coupe is $163,000. Those are cars built for larger people with sporty intentions/GT intentions. -

It would be between these two little girls up front. But I think in the end I would go with this one.. -
I wonder what I could get a GLI/GTI for with said discounts.. Probably too much still.

Frisky's Back With a New 'What Would You Buy Instead?"
ccap41 replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
I just built a SVR with every single box I could check and it rung up to $149,925..lol Oh wait, I forgot to add the spare wheel for $400! hahaha $150,325. Not sure if that's what I would go with but I know I couldn't get sick of that Jag V8. Something about that just gets me goin'. The 911 would tear it up but it would sound the best getting beat. -

ccap41 replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
Love these! Without thinking too much it would be hard to stray away from a 911 Turbo(S). It's just one badass car. But gimme a little bit and I'll see if I can come up with something I would rather have for 150-200k. -
Industry News: Leasing Reaches Record High, Could Grow Further
ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
I never would have guessed. I just assumed a smaller payment for the lease would save you money while the car is depreciating no matter what while I "own" it, somewhat regardless of the miles put on it. -
Tesla Decides Model S Isn't Fast Enough, Announces P100D
ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Tesla
Interesting to know that, great find! I wonder if that 13% includes the regeneration from getting back down to pedestrian speeds. I know it's kind of splitting hairs at that point.. but not really as it's an electric vehicle that you can't just go to the gas station just outside of the track to fill up for the drive home. I also think that scale should say "hundred thousands" not just "thousands" at the bottom. It's a misleading graph as-is.
