Of course, a Porsche of some sort is at the top of the list. I could see doing it in a Boxster, Cayman, 911 or even Panamera. If it was anything other than the Panamera, I'd definitely go with a manual trans. If that's an option in the Panamera, great, but I suspect that would be tough to find. I think an auto would still be entertaining.

I think before I chose a BMW, I'd go with Mercedes. I've never owned either, but what I've heard, I think I'd prefer the Merc. And if you have the option, chose an AMG variant. It may not be a manual trans, but I suspect for 99% of the trip, that wouldn't be an issue.

I think the time of year and route would be very important, especially when it comes to crossing the Rockies.

I'm going to be watching this thread with interest. I'll likely live vicariously through it.

Interesting point on the MB. And while you’re right that it may be the perfect car for the trip, especially the AMG variety, I’m not sure I’d care to own it after the trip.

If you PM me your email, I'll send you the list pf places a Buddy of mine in I are going to see next year when we "lap" America for 6 weeks together.

I have driven across the country at least 20 times and, depending on the car you select, the route needs to be Blue Highways.

Done
