I picked the M3; surprised that it's as low as it is. It's generally considered to be a better driver's car than the C63. And for that matter, the Mustang is supposed to be a better driver's car than the Camaro. I do think the Camaro looks better, though.
The M3 definitely is a better driver's car than the C63 - but the C63 is faster - so maybe that's it. The Mustang is insanely fast - especially considering how much it costs. It handles well - but mainly on a track. Off track, the M3 is better. The Camaro is just so damned heavy.. Personally, I would never consider either of the Dodge cars..
The 335i in stock form isn't really competitive with the rest. The closest would be the Dodge cars but it's so far away from the C63 and 5.0 - and the SS hands it a big beating as well.. Now modified is another story - but they can all be modified.
I never heard anyone say that about the M3.. Interesting.. I'm pretty sure the 335i was supposed to basically "be" the M3 without "being" an M3. In other words, BMW wanted to end production of the M3 - and at the last minute, they decided to produce it anyway. They detuned the 335i down to 330 horsepower from about 380 - and advertised it as 300. Then they continued on with the M3.
Voted Camaro. Although I'll admit the Mustang has a nicer interior and the 5.0 appears to be an awesome motor, so is the LS3, the Camaro looks so hot, and I just can't vote for a Ford. The BMW came in at a close second for me.
Both cars, Camaro and Mustang, are really nice. I'm shocked at how nicely the 5.0 takes to modifications, however.. You're going to see the 80s all over again in regards to pony car wars..

I voted for the M3, particularly because it's the best drivers car of the bunch IMO and I love the timeless styling. The Camaro is a close 2nd for me; the new Mustang may be quicker, but Ford took the '05-'09 Mustang, stuck it in the microwave for 15 seconds and there you have it... the new Mustang. Not a fan.

^Yeah, that Dinan limited slip is probably like $5,000 though.
Anyways, I voted for M3. Although there is quite a spread in prices on these cars, the Benz and BMW are 60-70k, the others are like 35-40k. Out of all the cheaper ones, I like the Challenger SRT-8 the best. Best looking, more room than the Camaro, and its not a stupid ugly Mustang.
I went for the M3. All the reviews I read about them are wildly in love with the car, and I think it's a great looking car, and it's gonna be more comfortable/luxurious than any of the others. Plus, chicks dig BMW's.
Also, the M3 V8 is probably the closest thing you can get in feel to a Forumla 1 motor this side of a Ferrari. 4.0L small displacment, 8300rpm redline, yeah that's a nice screamer right there:burn:
Sorry...I do not lust after "Foreign" vehicles. My first would be either a Cadillac or Lincoln, followed by the tip top edition of a Buick or a Chrysler.
Gun to head, I MUST drive foreign, then it would be a Jaguar V-12 Sedan
As spectacular as the 335 has become (and getting more-so with the upcoming "iS" version)... BMW should focus on the M5 and dump the M3 altogether... its time.
Damn Ian, that sounds nice. I understand what you're saying about the 335 taking the place of the M3 for all intensive purposes, but BMW getting rid of the M3 is like Cadillac getting rid of V8's altogether.
I would like to say Malibu but actually not , I would go for VW Passat overall but design wise Kia Optima , they made a good aggressive looking ride
