So, I have a Red 1991 5 speed. I love this car and will be keeping it for a long, long time. What I am looking for is a stable mate. Chances are that it will be a used car. I have set a budget around 150K. My wife is in agreement with this. Eat your hearts out guys.
Car and Driver did their most fun for $25,000. My list just changes the price, and probally more fun as well.
I hope that those of you that have one of cars I have listed can give me your pros and cons to ownership. I still need to check with my insurance carrier, I don’t think that it will affect my final decision. I have provided my initial opinion of each entry. What I am looking for is an attractive car with good performance and somewhat exclusive while maintaining its price.
Aston Martin – Good looks with a great sound, but not sure about performance, probably the worst of the group.
Audi R8 – long waiting list, not as good looking as others, good value for this price.
Corvette Z06 – I am not that interested, too common, but good performer/value.
Ferrari 360 Spyder – This is the favorite of my wife
Ferrari F430 coupe – Considerable performance increase from the 360 and the F430 Spyder is out of my price range.
Ford GT – very fast, good looking, very exclusive, probably will increase in value more than any other.
Lamborghini Gallardo – close to the Ferraris but not as attractive.
Nissan GT-R – Maybe a great performance value, but lacking in the looks of the list.
Porsche 911 – too common, not much performance increase over NSX.
Porsche GT3 – Wife doesn’t like it, never been a big Porsche fan.
Viper – Good performance but I don’t find it that attractive.
There is the list that I am trying to narrow down. Give me your thoughts. What are your top three?

I hope you're planing on paying cash for a car like this. I can't imagine financing a $150,000 car. Just my opinion, and that probably doesn't mean too much.:wink:
