Re: let make a car specific thread(dsmers)
As much as I like Supra's, I don't know if I could own one. I never really cared for their interior styling. That is why I'd go RX7 over Supra.
Between all of those cars listed, I think the E46 M3 would be nice to have as a daily, but throwing tons of money at it will still keep you "slow".
The TL is definitely a sweet ride, my wife likes them. Now we are talking about being even slower. Granted, I would probably look more into Caddy CTS-V's when it came to a TL or that as I like the V better than the TL. Just call me grandpa.
There is a lot out there whether it be a nice supra (which is going to be an easy 25-30K), a newer E46 M3 which is going to be expensive to mod, or a TL which will keep you classy and slow, you have a tough decision to make
Recap:
Supra's are overpriced and getting old in their age. To top it off, their interior is junk, get an RX-7 with an LS1.

However i'd never really want a CTS-V. I assume you've driven one, but we've had several at the dealership, they're sweet, but HUGE. They have a lot of power, but being so large, it really takes some of the fun away.
I've also driven an STS-V and it was cool, V8-supercharged, but still really big and bulky, and problematic.
Not to mention, both of those cars are really pricey. The Supra is certainly dated, but is a hell of a lot nicer, and much easier as a daily to drive than an RX7. My father has had both, and the RX7 was just a hassle to drive around...as is the Supra sometimes. At least the Supra rides smoother, has a better stereo, layout, not as noisy, way more reliable with power..Increases in value faster than an RX7. Need I say more.
I will give the handling/weight aspect to the RX7 though. I like the idea of a fast car that only weighs 2800lbs.
It all comes down to personal preference.
I agree that M3s are expensive to modify, but if you Supercharge one and put some money into it, you get a great car. I love mine, it's quick, fun, reliable...and with my setup I can make some good numbers; lots of power on tap, and above all else, it's a nice car. Very driver oriented; and the interior is great. All you could ask for, and you can still run down half the cars on the street.
One thing I don't like about the E46 M3 is the weight, 3400lbs, which isn't bad...But if it were 400 lbs lighter, it'd certainly be one of the best.
