My vote is for Z06, but that's the only one I've driven out of those 4... mostly because if I could afford a Z06, sedans wouldn't be in the list of possible alternatives

Get the CTS-V, it has the same engine as the ZR-1 and all the awesomeness of a Cadillac interior.
Here's just a few things you can do to make it faster than ALL of those cars.

I think the caddy styling is really bad. Looks cheap somehow which is supposed to be the opposite of a caddy. The vette is cool, but the performance of the m3 is really, really good, and it's so much more practical. I think it does 0-60 in well under 4.5 if i remember correctly.

The CTS V does the 1/4 in 3.9 seconds.

you already have a fun car in the RX8. Id get a cheap car and invest rest of the money, we are still 40% from being back to 14,000 in the DOW. There hasnt been too many great oppurtunities to double, tripple or quadrupple your money in the next decade. You might be looking at ferraris or a beach house by then.
just my 2 cents.

^ nah you dont know anything about the cts v then my friend id pick the caddy anyday! the interior is better and it has more presence IMO ... also for all those wondering why the z06 is in there ... well i have a camaro already 2ss/rs and its not a z06 but its a 2 dr sports car so is my 8 thats why im considering the 4 door sedans just for sth more convenient ... since earlier ive ruled out the jag its beautiful but the auto is killing it ... also ive driven the m3 and the ctsv and i believe the ctsv is the better car any and every day unbiased ... then comes the z06 IF i can get that exact one

My vote is for the M3. It will also hold its value the best of all the cars, IMHO. Last would be the XF - I have read in the long-term test, the electrical gremlins show up. I'd probably put the Cadi 2nd. C&D loved the CTS-V and it almost got first in a recent comparo test but had the manual which was a negative. Corvette ages someone into middle age crisis case.

the interior on the vette is BEAUTIFUL ... everything is wrapped in leather (custom job) suede down the center of the seats to match the exterior and its tuned intake exhaust dynoed at 647 hp it says hes done some engine work not specified so ima call him for more details this weekend ... also i think the cts v is sexy but if the vette doesnt sell im getting that ... its down to the cts v and vette m3 is now off the list ... major reason being i had the 335 and i know the m3 is an m car but its too close for me to get it again honestly the only car id repeat would be my 8

nothin like BMW engineering. Honestly, i can't describe the difference in the all around feel of their cars. Having driven the V, ZO6 and the M3, and owning 2 beamers, I would def go with the M3. More practical, better handling car, not heavy like the V, goes like stink. Resale value is also much much better than any GM product. But that might not mean anything to you, idk, just my opinion!
