I'm biased though, and own an 05 Z. Plenty of power, great handling, love the interior, and reliable as a sedan. You can get get an 05 now in the 20's, and put a bolt on turbo kit for an easy 400 whp.
In keeping with the numerous vehicle threads I might as well throw this one into the mix.
Anyway my 1986 Porsche might be on its' last leg but considering that it's over 20 years old and has over 150,000 miles I don't think it's done too bad. I might browse around and see what's available in the sports car market. I wouldn't mind having a new Porsche 911 but at a base price of over $70,000 I don't think it'll be in my garage anytime in the near future. I also wouldn't mind having a used one but 1999-2004 911 body styles are not my cup of tea and even a used 2005 model will set me back $60,000 or more.
I'd like something a bit newer, a bit more "loaded", and something that has some serious power. I've looked at a couple 'Vette's but even a used 2005 isn't that cheap and the 1997-2004 C5's are fairly basic in the interior.
I won't be buying anything in the near future but I always have a fun time browsing around. So what do you guys think? Any suggestions?
I believe a true sportscar should be RWD, not AWD.
I don't mind AWD setups like on the Carrera 4 and the G35x where it operates in RWD mode 95% of the time and the front wheels only intervene when needed.
My vote goes to my 2004 Mazda MX5 Speed.RWD,2 SEATER,TURBO.It's truly a sports car and set up that way from the factory.Although the 2006 went to a bigger HP engine(170) the turbo response is so much quicker than the non-turbo.I don't know why they didn't make a new version "speed"I guess that just makes mine more of a collectors model(#51 out of 4000 made).
I'd go with the Vette C6 Z06... awesome drive, best bang for the buck.
Midlife crisis? I'm 34
If you can tell me where one can pick up a C6 ZO6 for 35K, I'm all over it.
