Totalled my Z yesterday...what should I consider next?

I'd definitely be looking at a used M2 in that price range. The motor on the M2 makes like 380whp with a tune and exhaust. BMW's aren't nearly as unreliable as people like to say. They're just expensive if you can't do any of the work yourself and have to take it to a dealership for everything. Parts themselves aren't any worse than Nissan parts.

The most unreliable car I've had so far was a VQ40 Xterra and I've had a lot of cars that were supposedly unreliable. (2 M3's, 135i, GTI, Evo IX to name a few)

I would go for a newer Camaro. Plenty of power right out the gate and quite a few versions to pick from. Same with Mustang. At that price range you can get quite a car for little from the big domestic 3 these days. Glad you're ok man!

Both are solid choices at that price point.

If you get the SS. Get ready to go through tires like a mufugga. I'm on my 3rd set with 17000 miles. I finally said screw it to summer tires and got michelin ps3as. See how that goes. I'd like for my tires to last more than 5 months. Lol.

Man if I was currently in the market that SS camaro would be top of the list. You get a bunch of car for a fair price. I was looking at a few older SS and Z packages and man....very very solid cars. Oh and Unknown you just gotta lead foot brother! Hahahahahah

Lol... I do. But the torque is stupid brotha. Lol. It's literally neck snapping hard.

The ZL1 is just a ridiculous amount of car. I can imagine 650ft lbs of tq. I'd be going thru tires every 3000 miles if i had a ZL1.

Man the specs on those bad boys are crazy. Like the amount of power those things have is insane lmao. I priced an older SS, maybe 14 or 13 with low miles and it was sitting at under 30k. I just couldn't see why anyone looking for big power won't roll with the big 3 domestics.

Especially now that you're getting 1.1g or better out of camaros. They handle like nobody's business now. It defies logic for the size. Kinda like a GTR does.
I wish we had the ZL1 line lock feature though..
