The price is great but not a real factor in my decisions, I can afford an M3, G37 what ever - but I do consider the value/price ratio.
I am just looking for something that I like.

I have been testing a bunch of cars current short list is
370Z, 335IS/M3 (That's a whole different discussion there), Mustang 5.0, Gen Coupe.

tested and didn't make the short list: Audi TT, Lexus 350IS, G37 (actually loved everything about this car but could never live with the seats)

Anything I am missing that I should drive?

That's a pretty good list. Of course, I don't know all your deciding factors, but Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Mazda RX-8, and maybe a Vette or slightly used 911 come to mind. If you have reasons for not being interested in those, that's cool, too. And of course, when you mention the Mustang, you can take the pepsi challenge with the Camaro and/or Challenger, but I have a feeling the Stang's at the top of that class.

Sat in a Cayman this weekend, I was not inspired to take it for a drive, could see picking that over the Z
RX-8, no desire to even look at it.
Vette - love them but I am not going to buy a GM or Chrysler product.
Camaro/Challenger - do nothing for me either & see above
