Default After getting a 964 Turbo, whats your next target ?

Hello guys as many of us love our cars but we are greedy and always want more. What car do you have your eyes on, next target ?

Personally speaking I have no emotional connection to any new cars and would love to get a 430 Scuderia in next 3-5 years time. By the time I get it will be depreciated to a point that it could be a very reasonable purchase.

Whats next ?

Being able to buy a Ferrari and being able to maintain a Ferrari are two different things. Porsches are not cheap to maintain but Ferrari's maintanence and repair bills can leave you running for the hills.....

3.6 965 but realistically I'd really like to get a 993 S add a duck tail , twin turbos and call it a day.

Any form of 911 other than 996 would suit me at this point. Particularly another 964 of some sort. Ive been eyeing 968's alot lately, id love to buy one and fix it up.

I can buy one now but they've produced around 4,000 cars and wont go up anytime soon. It will depreciate to a point that it would entertain me to acquire. Its not expensive to maintain because in the 2005+ cars there is no need to have engine out service and replace timing belt.

Some of those body kits are pretty good.
There used to be a guy who lived near me that had a 355 Spyder kit on a Fiero. I used to drive by it and think 'what idiot drives a Ferrari in the salt in the winter?' I didn't realize it was a Fiero with a body kit; it was that good.

"expensive" is a relative word.. The F430 imo is one of Ferrai's best design(aside from their vintage models). In manual even better..

As far as my next target...hopefully in a few years...a 2010 or 2011 gt3rs or gt3 then again letting go of my 930 might be a little hard, though I would love to add to the stable an Alfa GTV 69 to 74 or an E30 M3 88-91

Owned a 968 for about 11 years. Nice cars but overall it gets boring after awhile.

GT3Rs is great, I like the 997.1 & .2 models. I would buy them if I had a Ferrari already, would love to own a F-car and my father used to let me drive his 599 from time to time.

The Turbo 3.6 is a keeper long term. One car I would like to add at some point would be a GT3 RS with the proper gearbox before all the GT3's go to automatic two pedal cars with the 991.
