I was just wondering what you guys would get if you currently were looking for daily driver/autox car to run in Street Touring. I'm getting bored of driving a non competitive SM camaro every year.

I've been contemplating a few cars:
IS300
BMW 330 ci or i
GTO (I'd go with this if it wasnt so heavy)
STI or Evo (not sure if I want that blue interior and big wing)
E46 M3

If I could afford it and wanted to save up some extra money, I'd go with the M3 hands down. I've also contemplated an RX8, Mustang Gt, or even another stock fbody like a 01-02 TA. I'd get a set of falkens for it in the summer and toss a set of winter tires on when the season is over.

Just wondering what you guys would personally decide. I am interested in what you guys think.

To follow up on this, I bought a 2005 STI last November. It's completely stock.

I haven't liked it in the long run though... my Camaro on Strano springs and Konis is a lot more comfortable to ride in over the stock STI suspension. I'm selling the STI privately this weekend and planning on testing out BMW E46 330 models and the ZHP.

If comfortable is important to you, then you really need to test drive a GTO. It's like Pontiac figured out how to fit a leather lazyboy into a muscle car. Weight is not a good as a Camaro, but not as bad as a Challanger. (figure 3600-3700lbs.) They're actually not too terrible in f-stock form with Pedders struts and a Hotchkis bar. Forget about STU though, it'll get eaten alive by the rally cars.
