    Default Torn between next car, M5, 740il, s500/55, E55, Jag S-Type R, XJR, LS400??

    Kind off want a break from imported compact rockets, very much fun, but now I want something bit on the luxury side. I still want style, class, and oomph factor. Just torn between what to go with:

    Base Engine Size: 4 liters

    #6 Choice- 01+ S500/55
    Base Number of Cylinders: 8
    Base Engine Size: 5 liters
    Base Engine Type: V8
    Horsepower: 302 hp

    S55
    Base Engine Size: 5.5 liters
    Base Engine Type: V8
    Horsepower: 493 hp

    #7 Choice- 01+ Jaguar XJR
    Base Number of Cylinders: 8
    Base Engine Size: 4.2 liters
    Base Engine Type: V8
    Horsepower: 390 hp
    Torque: 399 ft-lbs.

    All great cars, performance/price wise, M5 & the S-Type R are my top picks and hard to decide on. I get a blower with S-Type R, $3000-$5,000 grand cheaper than M5. M5 blows everything on the list other than E55, still at a very handsome price.

    If I go only price wise then it’s gonna be fight between LS400 and 740IL. A good $5,000-$10,000 cheaper than two above.

    Rest I am gonna jump on if I find a deal that is just simply can’t be refused.

    All will get modded lighlty, wheels, I/H/E, drop, and exterior lip kit.

    What do y’all think about each?
