Default 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
