Ok, if you are on this forum, you love 911s and performance cars. I do. That is clear.

Imagine tomorrow someone gave you $25-$35K that you HAD to spend on a new or used SPORTS CAR - AND IT COULDN'T BE ANOTHER 911.

Out of all the new/used perfomance cars out there, what would you buy that might make your 911, err, a bit jealous ?

Here's mine- 2002 Corvette Z06....yeah, it might rattle around a bit, but 7.75 lbs per horsepower with close to 50/50 wt distribution just might possibly turn my 85 Carrera a little green...

My "06 GTI can make my Carrera a bit jealous. For the 27K it cost me its a lot of car for the buck. Its a great daily driver that is tons of fun to drive.

It even has the "UFO" blue dash lighting that some others on another posting complianed about...I love it.

Its all the modern car I want and need at the moment. Having said that I love getting in my Carrera and taking off for an aimless drive.

I've thought of these also, but then I read from a few places these have the build quality of a kit car.

How about:
Honda S2000
MazdaSpeed Miata
M3
Mazda Rx-7 Turbo
