Threw A Rod

So today im driving home from school. Im going about 40 down some street there cruising in 4th gear. All of a sudden i hear a loud a$$ clanking sound and then BAMM!!!!! So i see this dark smoke coming out of the back of the car. So i shut the motor off. I let it roll to a stop and get out. Some people that were driving in back of me stop and tell me that there was fire under the car. So i just run and call the fire department. Turns out it was fire coming from the oil that leaked out onto the precat. Fires out everything is cold. So i get the car towed to my brother in laws shop. We put the car on a lift and found that there was a tremendously huge hole in the block and oil pan. Automatically we knew it threw a rod. So seems like im just going to get a new motor and sell the car. Just wondering what peoples thoughts of this were. Anyone have any opinions on what my next car should be? 350Z or Srt-4?

6spd G35 Sedan in silver with the Aero kit, throw on the blower and hold on tight for some mid 12s. Neons are rental cars, they might be fast... I've yet to loose to one.
