Thanks for all the replies, I already have a Porsche.
regarding the M3, I read about expensive repairs which scare me.
My Porsche has been rock solid with NO issues.
The S4 is rather tame ( I already owned an A6 )
The Shelby is a head turner, not many on the road

Of all the cars you mention, the Shelby is the only one with any real collector potential, I think.

Ive lost touch with the Mustang lineup. The "KR" an exclusive model of the GT500, correct? The KR would definitely have good collectible value.
A buddy of mine has a GT500 and loves it. Same color scheme as this model, but not as new:
I do like the new Mustangs... I just can't endorse them because the old Firebird owner in me won't allow it.
If you're looking for grunt then I have to agree with the other responses...there is no comparison amongst the cars on your list.
What's the depreciation on a GT500? I've read it isn't a pleasant scene because of all the dealer markup out of the gate. A new GT500 is $60k+ after markup right? If you can find a low mileage model less than a year or two old for under $50k then you're prob avoiding most of that unpleasantness.

I bought my 2009 Shelby GT500 in late 2008 brand new and it was just over $51k out the door (A good price at the time). Now I think you can get the 2009 model for around $35- $40k depending. Mine has 3k miles on it and it is still a new car. I personally think it is more than a $40k car.
