Danka7777: If I had to pick a performance car, bar none it would be 1992, 1993 and 1994 Mercedes 500E/E500. Sent one back home last summer. Currently own a 2006 BMW M5, but it comes nothing close to the W124 E500 in handling but not performance.  Guess one funny thing, had a guy asked me in Abuja why am I still driving a V-boot? Lol!  I just laughed at him. I told him, go research about the Immortal Mercedes W124 500E/E500. The only car ever " hand-built" in automobile history, a joint venture of Porsche and Mercedes. In other words, Porsche built the engine and Mercedes built the body.  This car is almost 20 yrs old but still worth over $20,000 today. Please this is not V-boot.

My advice to you, if you lay your hands on one of these with low mileage, keep it.  One with 20,000 miles was sold on ebay for almost $55,000.  Performance  cars are also a good business to do if you live in the U.S. Wealthy americans scramble for them like its gold. Also a good way to invest your money since they don't depreciate in value like most cars but rather worth more as days go by.

Sorry I have to bug your guys with this, can't help it.  Just a sucker for performance cars.

Siena: ^^^ Interesting results!

The result of that race was due to the GTR manually shifting while the Audi is automatic, if you watch carefully you will see what am saying. Much respect for ur contribution on the forum, I am always hunting for ur comments

4) BMW M3 E90/92/93, 2007 - 2012. With the fourth generation M3, BMW went full circle, back to the E36. By this, the M3 was available as a Sedan, (E90) Coupe (E92) and Cabriolet (E93). And carrying on from the limited production run of the E46 M3 GTR, power came courtesy of a 4,0 V8 2 x DOHC 32V. This delivers 414 bhp at an unbelievable 8,300 rpm, very high for a V8. Like the E30 and E46 models, the E90/92/93 bodywork is unique to the M3's. The twin polished exhaust tips from the E46 was also carried over. The E92 M3 Coupe also has a carbon fibre roof as standard, just like the E46 M3 CSL.

No Evo models were produced, but the range-topper was the M3 GTS. Only available in the E92 Coupe, only 250 were built, and were snapped up. Most orders had been placed before the cars were even built. The E92 M3 GTS had a reworked 4,0 V8, it now had a capacity of 4,4 litres, and produced 444 bhp. It weighed 300 lbs less than the standard E92 M3 Coupe, due to weight saving initiatives.

The E90 M3 Saloon was available with the same 4,4 V8 2 x DOHC 32V engine as the E92 M3 Coupe, this was designated E90 M3 CRT (Carbon Racing Technology). Unlike the GTS, the E90 M3 CRT had all the creature comforts, though it was 100 lbs lighter than the standard E90 M3 Saloon, due to extensive use of carbon fibre as opposed to steel. Very limited production, just 67 were built, denoted by a unique numbered plaque on the dashboard.
