Favorite hi-perf sedans you've ever owned/driven?
 
Not a fan of all the electronics and 'nannies' that are on the new 4 door hi performance sedans. Curious on what are some of the good older models both domestic and foreign.

Any of the Ford Panthers (FCVPI, MGM, Town Car). Chevy Caprice/Imapala.

If you weren't afraid of a little technology, id say CTS-V is one of the best cars made.

I drive a Saab 9-2x Aero which is a re-badged Subaru WRX wagon with a Saab front end. Stock it is a 230hp turbocharged 2.5 liter with all wheel drive. It is highly tunable yet fairly basic in comparison to a lot of modern cars with their active electronic everything. You can easily squeeze 350 all wheel hp out of this car and still drive your kids to school everyday.

The twin turbo Audi S4s are also very fun sedans but they can get a bit expensive in terms of maintenance.

I dig the Mercury Marauders in black.

I wish I liked the CTS-V's looks.

Hmmm, I see you've given it a lot of thought.

Tony,

Seriously, I guess its the angular styling of the CTS-V.

For some reason I like something rounded at the free ends... obtuse like.

lol

A little bit of an older car, but I still love the 94, 95, 96 Impala SS 4-doors. I went crazy when Chevy brought those back into production for those 3 years. I was a college kid and definately couldn't afford one.:( I would love to have a 96 and take the LT1 out and put in an LS7 and T56, big 15" Baer Brakes, 20x12 rear wheels, etc.

Yahh I kinda like the 94-96 B-Bodys,, I have a slightly narrowed rearend that will be going in this one,Frame has been modified and will be minitubbed, "Future 20x12s wheels" (RUSHFORTH) with 345-25-20s"

I did a engine conversion some time ago = 6.0 Lq4 with L92, L76 intake and Nitrous. 4l60e 3k stall..

Very nice Roger. First LS conversion I've seen in those cars.

I remember someone saying of the late great B-bodies ... "Ya can't kill 'em"
