Default choices... choices!! Suggestions?

So my lease on my '01 is coming up in May. I'm thinking of several new cars to get. Want to get your input on what car to get.

In no particular order:

1. Honda S2000
2. Audi S4
3. Subaru WRX STi
4. Audi TT 3.2 (with the directgear thingy)
5. Cadiliac CTS-V
6. Nissan 350Z (track model)
7. Nisaan 350Z Convertable (touring model

Considering I'm in technology sales, having a sedan would be nice for taking clients out. However I'm not requiring it be a sedan, as I can always rent a car when necessary.

Oh and I'm an avid weekend racer (Audi Quattro Club, S2KCA, Speed Ventures, etc)

What would you pick (top 3)? Why??

Thanks

J

I'd Choose
1) Honda S2000, I'm guessing you're wanting the 2004 model. It's a more comfortable ride, still handles great, although you get 1k less revs, it's still an S2000.
2) Audi S4, IF its the new one. Its fast, handles great, sedan, you name it, you got it.
3) Really depends on your need, either the 350Z Track Model or Wrx STi. It's hard, even for me.... . But hey, whatever makes you happy.
If I were in your position, I'd go test drive ALL of those cars you listed in ONE day. That way, you'd NOT lose the feel and impression of those cars, good or bad.

Have you seen the new (2005) Audi A6? It has a beefed up S4 engine in it. 355hp I believe. Goes on sale early summer. It's always so much fun doing the research on new cars. Good luck.

Well, the deeds been done. I opted for a ....

2004 Light Silver S4!!!

I went to the Audi dealer this past weekend to test drive the Audi TT 3.2 DSG Roadster. It's a really nice car with some cool drivetrain technology. Then I took a S4 for a drive.

OH MY GOD! the thing is so ing fast it's not even funny. Yeah I know my S2000 was fast too, but not like this. Step on the throttle in any gear at any speed and this thing pulls, and pulls hard.

I was sad to see me S2000 being taken away, but I'm sure all the shit grins from stomping on the throttle will ease my pain.

Thanks,

J
