In January I lost my baby(G37 Infiniti with headers, hiflo cats, true dual exhaust, intake plenum, twin turbo, chilled air intake.) A ditsy college chic hit from behind at 40mph it shoved my car up under a chevy truck. 26k in damage and a few months of physical therapy.

So I am looking at a larger sports car as a replacement.

Dodge Challenger srt8
Mustang GT Premium
Mazda RX8 R3

Go test drive a Pontiac GTO, or G8 in either GT or GXP trim. You'll thank me later.

Right! The G8 is worth a drive.

SRT8 Challenger right now with all the incentives comes in at 37k not bad. My G37 was 48k. 11k is a kia to go with the muscle car.............

If you can afford to have a car just as a "sunday" driver , I'd go with the SRT8 Challenger. I'd also wait for the new 6.4 and manual trans. This will be a collector car someday.
If you have to drive it everyday I'd got with an all wheel drive SRT8 300 , G8 , or the CTS-V

big +1 on that. i'm such a Holden fan. you can get 04-06 GTOs for CHEAP now. a gently used 2004 can be found all day long for under $15K.
