Was looking to possibly buy a Shelby

I've been looking around and its a very sad thing, but you can get a GT-R for about the same price as an M3 these days. That's a hands down win for the GT-R.

Whoever said something about the reliability and daily drivability of the M3 and 335...those two cars are the definition of GREAT daily drivers. Much more so than the GT-R, specially when you consider that BMW offers FREE maintenance, rotors, oil, brake pads, etc.

Porsche would be nice too, but you're looking at a pre-pdk cayman or an older Carrera for a similar price of -- you guessed it-- a GT-R. Problem with porsche is that you're buying a car out of warranty so if something breaks....well....there goes that trip to the bahamas you were planning.
